Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, dose escalation study to document the effects of adventitial delivery of temsirolimus (Torisel) after revascularization of lesions below the knee in symptomatic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Up to 60 patients (20 low-dose, 20 high-dose and 20 control) at up to 15 sites in the United States. This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device adventitial deposition of temsirolimus in reducing intimal hyperplasia, inflammatory markers and composite safety endpoints in patients with clinical evidence of chronic critical limb ischemia after revascularization of one or more angiographically significant lesion(s) in below-knee popliteal or tibial vessels.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: Active Comparator: Temsirolimus Delivery High Dose High-Dose Group: 0.4 mg/mL temsirolimus (including 20% contrast) Patients qualifying for enrollment will be randomized 2:1 for inclusion in either the treatment (low-dose or high-dose) or the control group. The first 20 patients randomized to treatment will receive low-dose. After the first 30 patients (20 low-dose and 10 control) are enrolled in the trial, enrollment will be held until 30-day safety endpoints are met, at which point the dosage will be escalated to the high dose and the trial will resume, with the remaining 30 patients randomized 2:1 for high-dose or control. |
Drug: Temsirolimus
After completion of revascularization therapy and any decision to place stents, patients will be qualified for final enrollment in the study and will be treated with the investigational drug or saline. Investigators will be blinded to assignment.

Angiographic/Procedural Criteria
-

-
Target lesion length is >30 cm as measured from proximal normal vessel to distal normal vessel
-
Total length of lesions treated during the case (including target lesion, inflow lesions, and other non-target lesions) >30 cm
-

-
Previously implanted stent in the TL(s)
-
