Patient enrollment is complete for the LIFE-BTK clinical trial. A special thanks to the investigators, research coordinators and enrolled patients for making this trial possible.
What to Expect if You Are Enrolled in the LIFE-BTK Study
The study will compare the Esprit™ BTK device to the balloon angioplasty procedure to open the leg arteries.
Enrolled study participants will have in-person visits with a dedicated team of specialists focused on their care for a total of 5 years. The number of visits with your doctor is not any more than you would have if you weren't part of the study. For in-person visits with your doctor, you may be eligible for assistance with transportation. There is also the option of having your care visit for the study done at home.
Dr. Parikh, LIFE-BTK Co-Principal Investigator, explains a key factor in the relationship between physicians and patients in clinical studies.
Now that you are enrolled, stay compliant with the follow-up process that your physician prescribes.
You will have 10 study visits over a 5-year period, at the following time points. These doctor visits are not more than what you would receive if you were not in a study.
14 days
30 days
42 days
