Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin compared to the standard treatment (clopidogrel plus aspirin) in patients with critical limb ischemia undergoing infrapopliteal arterial endovascular intervention.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study is a multicentre, parallel-group, prospective, randomized open-label, blinded-endpoint adjudication, proof-of-concept, and exploratory trial. Two hundred patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio, 72 hours after successful infrapopliteal angioplasty for critical limb ischemia. In the study group, patients will receive oral apixaban 2.5mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg once-daily for 12 months. In the control group, aspirin 100 mg once-daily will be taken for 1 year on a background of clopidogrel (75mg daily) for the first three months. The primary endpoint is the composite of target lesion revascularization (TLR), major amputation or restenosis/occlusion (RAS) plus MACE (myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death) at 12 months. The primary safety endpoint is the composite of major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding at 12 months.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Restenosis of the treated infrapopliteal artery [12 months]

      Number of patients with absence of flow or >2.4 sistolic index obtained by Duplex Scan

    2. Major amputation [12 months]

      Number of patients who underwent amputation of the leg above the ankle

    3. Clinical driven-target lesion revascularization [12 months]

      Number of patients who was submitted by reintervention of the treated infrapopliteal artery based on the clinical status

    4. Major cardiovascular events [12 months]

      Number of patients who present one of those: myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Bleeding [12 months]

      Number of patients who present major bleeding (MB) or clinically relevant non-major bleeding, using the ISTH criteria

    2. Healing [12 months]

      Time to total healing measured by the Imitomeasure program.
