Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg daily on a background of aspirin 75-100 mg/d for 12 months or for 1 months will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD at 1 year.

Detailed description: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is extremely prevalent worldwide and affects over 206 million people. Over 36 million patients with PAD are estimated to be present in the United States. Percutaneous revascularization therapies have evolved dramatically, yet the long-term success of these therapies remains modest and the morbidity and mortality associated with PAD remains high, with up to 30% mortality risk at 5 years. Nearly, 3. 2 million endovascular procedures are performed annually. Though, this exceeds interventional procedures performed for coronary artery disease (CAD), the current PAD guidelines are silent regarding the need and optimal duration of antiplatelet therapy (APT) for patients following an endovascular procedure for claudication or critical limb ischemia (CLI). The lack of data and clinical studies is by far the greatest impediment to the formulation of such guideline recommendations critically needed by providers and patients alike, especially given the current limited durability of lower extremity endovascular procedures. The objective of this trial is to evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg QD on a background of ASA 75-100 mg/d for 12 months or for 1 month will lead to an increased rate of 12-month outcomes such as primary patency, limb salvage, freedom from myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD. The investigators hypothesize that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ASA and clopidogrel administered for 12 months following iliac, femoropopliteal or below the knee endovascular intervention will improve primary patency, limb salvage, freedom from ischemic stroke and survival, in patients with symptomatic PAD. Clinical endpoints will be analyzed in all subjects who are enrolled, regardless of whether the trial treatment administered successfully completed for the desired duration. A subject will be considered enrolled in the trial when he/she is randomized to one of the treatment arms of the study. All endpoints are subject-based unless otherwise specified. The primary endpoint is a subject-based 12-month endpoint of the first occurrence of index limb arterial occlusion, surgical intervention, endovascular intervention, amputation of the affected limb (primary patency and limb salvage), MI, ischemic stroke or death (survival). The secondary endpoints are subject-based 12-month endpoints that include: (a) the first occurrence of any individual component of the primary endpoint, (b) the first occurrence of the following during follow-up: cardiovascular death, or MI, or ischemic stroke, or any amputation above the ankle and (c) severe bleeding defined according to the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue plasminogen activator for Occluded coronary arteries (GUSTO) classification. The tertiary endpoint is based on 12-month moderate bleeding according to the GUSTO classification.

femoral artery (SFA), popliteal artery, tibio-peroneal (TP) trunk, anterior tibial (AT) artery, peroneal artery (PA) or posterior tibial (PT) artery (applies to all target lesions if multiple)

- Subjects with multiple planned procedures can be enrolled after the completion of the

last planned procedure.- Exclusion Criteria: General:

- Complicated qualifying procedure (perforation, flow limiting dissection, distal

embolization requiring re-intervention, need for repeat endovascular, surgical revascularization, amputation or blood transfusion prior to hospital discharge following an index procedure

- Extended hospital stay >7 days following the index procedure

- Allergy to aspirin or clopidogrel

- MI or percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stents within the past 9

months

- Life expectancy less than 12 months due to other medical co-morbid condition(s) that

could limit the subject's ability to participate in the trial, limit the subject's compliance with the follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific integrity of the trial

- Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to contrast dye that, in the opinion of

the investigator, cannot be adequately pre-medicated.

dual-antiplatelet therapy with aspirin or clopidogrel for <1y

- Planned surgeries, endovascular or other non-vascular or cardiac procedures

- Concurrent warfarin or other chronic oral anticoagulant therapy

- Contraindication(s) to the use of AT (history of intra-cerebral bleed, presence of

intracerebral mass, recent or <6 weeks gastrointestinal bleed, blood transfusion within the last 6 weeks, any trauma requiring surgery or blood transfusion within the last 4 weeks or any surgical procedure within the last 4 weeks. Angiographic:

- Endovascular intervention to iliac, femoropopliteal or BTK artery bypass graft

- Persistent, intraluminal thrombus of the proposed target lesion at the completion of

the index procedure

- Perforated vessel as evidenced by extravasation of contrast media

- Vascular graft, aneurysm or postsurgical stenosis of the target vessel
