A Dose Escalation and Safety Study of Plasmin (Human) In Acute Lower Extremity Native Artery or Bypass Graft Occlusion
United States83 participantsStarted 2007-03
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of increasing doses of intra-thrombus Plasmin (Human) in acute peripheral arterial occlusion (aPAO). The ability of these Plasmin doses to dissolve the clots will be estimated by arteriography.
