An interventional study of XPAD conduit in Peripheral Arterial Disease, sponsored by Xeltis. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-21.
Sponsored by Xeltis · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A prospective, single arm, non-randomized European feasibility study to evaluate the safety and performance of the XPAD conduit in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), scheduled to undergo elective lower-limb, above or below the knee, bypass surgery.
1,377 studies on the registry are indexed under Peripheral Arterial Disease; 275 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 15 is below the median of 70 across 927 interventional studies indexed under Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Exclusion Criteria:
Intra-operative exclusion criteria:
1. Unsuitable anatomy to implant the XPAD conduit (e.g. target vessel diameter smaller than anticipated; severe calcification)
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.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Device: XPAD conduit
The XPAD bypass conduit is a sterile, restorative biodegradable polymer-based vascular conduit, consisting of a tubular structure with a 33cm length and 6mm inner diameter. It is comprised of a highly porous polymer matrix and an embedded electropolished nitinol reinforcement layer (Strain Relief System). The XPAD conduit is in a straight configuration and may be implanted in the lower limb for elective bypass surgery.
Primary patency rate
Primary patency defined as the interval between conduit implantation and the first intervention to maintain or restore patency
Time frame: 12 months post-implant
Freedom from device-related SAE
Time frame: Day 1, 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months post-implant
Implantation success rate
Implantation success defined as a technically successful XPAD conduit implantation in the planned configuration, free from kinking and tension in the anastomoses, and a patent XPAD conduit at the moment of discharge.
Time frame: Day 1
Freedom from Major Bleeding events
Major Bleeding defined as type 3, 4 or 5 bleeding according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) classifications
Time frame: Day 1, 30 days and 6 months post-implant
Patency (primary, primary assisted, and secondary) rates
Primary patency defined as the interval between conduit implantation and the first intervention to maintain or restore patency. Assisted primary patency defined as the interval between conduit implantation and the first occlusion (thrombosis), including interventions (operative or endovascular) aimed to maintain the functionality the conduit. Secondary patency defined as the interval between conduit implantation and abandonment with or without interventions (operative or endovascular) aimed to maintain the functionality the conduit, including occurrence of a censored event (death, change of modality, loss of follow-up).
Time frame: 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months post-implant
Freedom from device-related SAE
Time frame: 24, 36, 48 and 60 months post-implant
Rate of wound/conduit infections
Time frame: 30 days, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months post-implant
Freedom from Major Amputations
Major Amputation defined as any amputation that results in limb shortening
Time frame: 30 days, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months post-implant
Freedom from all-cause mortality
Time frame: 30 days, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months post-implant

Start is estimated for Dec 2026; primary completion for Dec 2028, 24 months later.
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 planned 24 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 385 studies reached it within 31 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 55.
