Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the IN.PACT Admiral drug-coated balloon (DCB) in comparison to any standard balloon for treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery.

Detailed description

The IN.PACT SFA Trial enrolled in 2 phases: IN.PACT SFA I and IN.PACT SFA II. The 150-patient IN.PACT SFA I phase is intended to support the second phase IN.PACT SFA II IDE trial with congruent design and protocol. Aggregate data from the two phases is intended to provide statistical power for the 12-month primary safety and effectiveness endpoints.

Interventions

EQ5D is a standardised measure of health status and economic appraisal. The EQ5D consists of the EQ5D descriptive system which comprises the following variables for the 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: (1) no problems, (2) some problems, (3) extreme problems. A complex algorithm that took individual dimensions and generated an overall score was used. EQ5D health state is used in the algorithm to calculate an overall score where - 0.109 = 'worst possible outcome' and 1.000 = 'best possible outcome'.

Pre-assignment details

The IN.PACT SFA Trial was designed as a two-phase randomized trial. IN.PACT SFA I, the first phase, was conducted in Europe with 150 subjects enrolled. IN.PACT SFA II, the second phase, was conducted in the US with 181 subjects enrolled. The randomized data from both phases are pooled and comprise the pivotal trial data.
