A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-label (With Blinded Plasminogen Activator and Placebo Control Groups) Study to Evaluate the Effects of Different Intra-thrombus Infusion Regimens of Plasmin (Human) Compared to Plasminogen Activator and Placebo In Patients With Acute Lower Extremity Native Artery or Bypass Graft Occlusion

The primary purpose of this Phase 2 study is to optimize Plasmin delivery by comparing
different delivery regimens in patients with peripheral arterial occlusion. The study
includes a blinded plasminogen activator treatment group and a blinded plasminogen activator
placebo group. The study will also assess safety and tolerability of Plasmin at 150 and 250
mg doses.
