Among the 173 studies in Peripheral Arterial Disease with a site in Germany, from their registry updates:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the Temporary Spur Stent System (TSS). The TSS is intended for use in conjunction with a commercially available drug coated balloon in the infrapopliteal arteries for the treatment of de novo or restenotic lesions.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single arm trial, with sites in New Zealand, Germany, and Switzerland.
At least two and no more than 10 sites are expected to participate, with 100 subjects enrolled (no more than 40 at a single site).
The study follow up will take place over a period of 365 days. A vessel recoil substudy will be included for a select group of subjects.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the Temporary Spur Stent System (TSS) for subjects with infrapopliteal arterial disease.
The Temporary Spur Stent System is intended for use in conjunction with a commercially available drug coated balloon in the infrapopliteal arteries for the treatment of de novo or restenotic lesions.
The TSS has been developed to provide another treatment option for patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), and Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).
Up to 100 subjects will be treated with the Temporary Spur Stent System in conjunction with an approved Drug Coated Balloon (DCB). No less than 1 subject and no more than 40 subjects will be enrolled at a single site.
A vessel recoil substudy is included in the trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate vessel recoil in a select group of subjects (no more than 10 per site, up to 35 subjects in total). This will be conducted by obtaining measurements using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS), or Quantitative Vascular Analysis (QVA) of the target vessel during the index procedure.
The statistical analysis for this trial will use as a comparator a performance goal derived from a meta-analysis of infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty. Descriptive statistics may be used to describe other data points.
Subjects will be asked to participate in a baseline evaluation visit, the index procedure, a 30 day follow up visit, a 90 day follow up visit, a 180 day follow up visit, and a 365 day follow up visit. The baseline evaluation and index procedure visits may be combined. At each follow up visit, the subject will undergo a physical exam with wound evaluation (if applicable) including pictures, a medication history and compliance review, Ankle Brachial and Toe Brachial Indices (ABI and TBI), a duplex ultrasound of the treated limb, review of symptoms, and Adverse Events (AE) assessment. Subjects may choose to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason. If subjects choose to withdraw, they will be asked to undergo an unscheduled study visit consisting of the aforementioned procedures.

Target vessel(s) reconstitutes(s) at or above the medial malleolus, with the target treated segment extending no more than 10 mm beyond the medial malleolus.
Note: If the anterior tibial or posterior tibial arteries are treated, there must be inline flow to the foot.
If the peroneal artery is treated, there must be at least one collateral supplying the foot.
Target vessel reference diameter is measured to be between 2.0 mm to 4.5 mm in diameter, assessed by one of the following methods after successful completion of guidewire crossing of the lesion site:
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Time frame: 6 months
Decrease in Rutherford class score at 3, 6 and 12 months.
The second secondary efficacy measurement is decrease in Rutherford class score at 3, 6 and 12 months. Rutherford score is a classification system for patients with peripheral vascular disease. Categories are numbered from 0 to 6, with 0 being asymptomatic, and 6 being major tissue loss, functional foot no longer salvageable. Higher values are therefore considered a worse outcome. Rutherford class zero: No symptoms; Rutherford class 1: Mild Claudication (minimal leg pain with ambulation) symptoms; Rutherford Class 2: Moderate Claudication (moderate leg pain with ambulation); Rutherford Class 3: Severe claudication (severe leg pain with ambulation); Rutherford Class 4: Ischemic Rest pain (leg pain at rest); Rutherford Class 5: Minor tissue loss (nonhealing ulcer, focal gangrene, diffuse pedal ischemia); Rutherford class 6: Major tissue loss (extending above the transmetatarsal TM level, functional foot no longer salvageable.
Time frame: 3, 6, and 12 months
Wound healing for subjects with Rutherford class 5 at 6 and 12 months, as assessed by the investigator using WIfI score and descriptive characteristics, including change in wound size measured by any decrease in wound surface area.
The third secondary efficacy endpoint is wound healing for subjects with Rutherford class 5 at 6 and 12 months, as assessed by the investigator using WIfI score and descriptive characteristics, including change in wound size measured by any decrease in wound surface area. The WIfI classification scoring system is a grading system using a composite score of wound (W), ischemia (I), and foot infection (fi). These three different categories are graded from 0 to 3 with 0 being the best and 3 being the worst. The total score will be provided (clinical stage 1-5), which is used to estimate the risk for major amputation at one year. Patients with a score of 1 are considered low risk, and patients with a score of 5 are considered high risk (foot not salvageable). Therefore, higher values are considered a worse outcome. The composite score is calculated by adding up the score from each category.
Time frame: 6 and 12 months

Ran from Jul 2019 to primary completion in Apr 2023, 45 months.
Of 125 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Peripheral Arterial Disease, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 45. This study's 45 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 385 studies reached it within 31 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 55.
