Brief summary

The research study is designed to assess the technical feasibility and safety of a perivascular injection of vonapanitase delivered via micro-infusion catheter to the distal popliteal, tibial or peroneal arteries immediately following successful angioplasty.

Inclusion criteria

Screening: Initial study inclusion criteria 1. Age of at least 18 years. 2. Clinical diagnosis of PAD secondary to atherosclerosis affecting a lower limb. 3. Rutherford category 3-5. 4. De novo lesion, not previously treated by angioplasty, atherectomy or stenting. 5. Scheduled to undergo angioplasty of the distal popliteal, tibial or peroneal arteries. 6. If female and of childbearing potential (premenopausal and not surgically sterile) must have a negative pregnancy test at the screening visit and be willing to use contraception from the time of the screening visit to 1 week following study drug administration. Acceptable methods of birth control include abstinence, barrier methods with spermicide, implants, injectables, oral contraceptives, intra-uterine device, or a vasectomized partner. 7. Ability to understand and comply with the requirements of the entire study and communicate with the study team. 8. Ability to provide written informed consent using a document that has been approved by the required institutional review board. Procedure: Study inclusion criteria to be determined at the time of the angioplasty procedure 9. Atherosclerotic lesion with \>50% stenosis in the popliteal (distal to the center of the knee joint space, the P3 segment), tibial or peroneal artery prior to angioplasty. 10. Successful revascularization without the use of stenting of the target lesion; no flow limiting dissection and \<30% residual lumen stenosis as compared with an adjacent non-diseased lumen diameter.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of adverse eventsUp to 6 months following study drug administrationSafety assessments include physical exams and routine serum chemistry and hematology tests
Technical success of perivascular injectionIntraproceduralTechnical success of study drug administration will be assessed by the extent of circumferential and longitudinal coverage of the artery using a protocol-defined assessment scale
