LEVANT Japan Clinical Trial

A Prospective, Multicenter, Single Blind, Randomized, Controlled Japanese Population Trial Comparing MD02-LDCB Versus Standard Balloon Angioplasty for Treatment of Femoropopliteal Arteries

To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of MD02-LDCB for treatment of stenosis or occlusion of the femoral and popliteal arteries in the Japanese population.

The study will enroll patients presenting with claudication or ischemic rest pain and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral or popliteal artery and a patent outflow artery to the foot. After successful protocol-defined pre-dilatation, subjects that are determined not to require stenting based on defined angiographic criteria are randomized 2:1 to treatment with either MD02-LDCB (test arm) or standard PTA catheter (control arm) using similar techniques. Subjects that do not meet post-predilatation lesion criteria are excluded (and treated per standard practice) and followed for safety for 30 days. Randomized subjects will have ultrasound follow-up through 2 years and are consented for up to 2 years clinical follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male or non-pregnant female ≥20 years of age;
• Rutherford Clinical Category 2-4;
• Length ≤15 cm;
• ≥70% stenosis
• Lesion location starts ≥1 cm below the common femoral bifurcation and terminates distally ≤2 cm below the tibial plateau AND ≥1 cm above the origin of the TP trunk;
• A patent inflow artery as confirmed by angiography
• At least one patent native outflow artery to the ankle

Exclusion Criteria:

• Life expectancy of < 2 years;
• History of hemorrhagic stroke within 3 months;
• Previous or planned surgical or interventional procedure within 2 weeks before or within 30 days after the index procedure;
• History of MI, thrombolysis or angina within 2 weeks of enrollment;
• Renal failure or chronic kidney disease
• Severe calcification that renders the lesion un-dilatable
