Vascular Disease clinical trials at UCSF
5 in progress, 3 open to eligible people
Vascular disease affects blood vessels, making it hard for blood to flow. UCSF is testing a treatment using a patient's own blood cells for severe limb issues. Another study is looking at a new way to treat serious leg blood flow problems. UCSF is also collecting data on children with high blood pressure in the lungs.
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.

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.

Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Network (PPHNet) Informatics Registry
open to eligible people ages up to 21 years
Patients are being asked to be in this research study because medical researchers hope that by gathering information about a large number of children with pulmonary hypertension over time, their understanding of the disease process will increase and lead to better treatment. Investigators believe that pulmonary hypertension in children is different than pulmonary hypertension in adults and this study will help us understand those differences.

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").

TORUS 2 IDE Clinical Study
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The primary objective of the TORUS 2 IDE Clinical Study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TORUS Stent Graft System in the treatment of obstructive atherosclerotic lesions of the native SFA or the superficial femoral and/or proximal popliteal arteries.
