Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia clinical trials at UCSF
6 in progress, 4 open to eligible people
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is a condition where blood flow to the limbs is severely limited. UCSF is exploring a treatment using a patient's own blood cells to improve blood flow. They are also researching a new device that releases medicine to help blood vessels heal. Another trial focuses on improving blood flow with vein bypass surgery.
BGC101 (EnEPC) Autologous Cell Therapy From Patient's Own Blood for Treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI)
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
Evaluate the feasibility of an autologous cell preparation composed of a mixture of cells enriched for endothelial progenitor cells (EnEPCs) and multipotent adult hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) (BGC101), in the treatment of patients suffering from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who have not responded to optimal pharmacological treatment or control of risk factors and/or had a revascularization failure, and do not have the option of further revascularization treatment.

Esprit BTK Post-Approval Study
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The Esprit BTK PAS is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center observational study to assess the continued safety and effectiveness of the Esprit™ BTK Everolimus Eluting Resorbable Scaffold System under commercial use, in patients with diseased infrapopliteal lesions causing CLTI (Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia) in a real-world setting. The clinical investigation will be conducted at up to 50 sites in the United States (US) and additional sites may be added outside of the US (OUS). Approximately 200 patients with a minimum of 50% of patients in the US will be registered in the clinical investigation.

PROMISE III: Percutaneous Deep Vein Arterialization for the Treatment of Late-Stage Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia
open to eligible people ages 18-95
A prospective, single-arm, multi-center study designed to gather additional information on the LimFlow System.

Peripheral Bypass Trial for Completion Control
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The goal of the study is to identify and validate flow measurement and ultrasound images in patients undergoing vein bypass surgery below-knee and above ankle

LIFE-BTK Randomized Controlled Trial
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The objective of this prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the everolimus eluting Esprit BTK System for the planned treatment of narrowed infrapopliteal lesions. Approximately 225 subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio. The clinical investigation will be conducted at approximately 65 clinical sites in the US, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

PROMISE II: Percutaneous Deep Vein Arterialization for the Treatment of Late-Stage Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The LimFlow System is intended for endovascular, minimally invasive procedures in patients who have a clinical diagnosis of chronic limb-threatening ischemia and who have been determined to have no surgical or endovascular treatment option (i.e., "no option").
