Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Initial and absolute claudication distance
The primary outcome measures used to assess efficacy were pain-free walking distance (distance walked to the onset of symptoms, or the initial claudication distance [ICD]) and the maximum distance walked (absolute claudication distance [ACD]) on standardized treadmill testing. Evaluation of walking performance was accomplished with standardized treadmill testing. A constant speed of 3.2 km/h (2mile/h) and a fixed incline of 12.5% were used.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Assess the effects on ABI of a six month treatment with Liraglutide compared to control group (standard-of-care treatment).
ankle-brachial index is ratio of ankle systolic pressure to arm systolic pressure: using a 10-12 cm sphygmomanometer cuff placed just above the ankle and a doppler instrument used to measure the systolic pressure of the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries of each leg. These pressures are then normalized to the higher brachial pressure of either arm to form the ankle-brachial index (ABI). The index leg is often defined as the leg with the lower ABI.
Assess the effects on endothelial function of a six month treatment with Liraglutide compared to control group (standard-of-care treatment).
Assess the effects on endothelial function of a six month treatment with Liraglutide compared to conventional treatment, assessed as the baseline corrected change in endothelial function by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) of the brachial artery at 6 months.
Muscle microvascular perfusion by CEU
Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEU) performed by experienced radiologists is used for contrast ultrasonographic examination of skeletal muscle.
Assess the effects on the endothelial circulating progenitor cells concentration of a six month treatment with Liraglutide compared to control group (standard-of-care treatment).
Circulating progenitor cells (EPCs) will be quantified using flow cytometry before and after 6 month treatment GLP-1 receptor agonist or conventional therapy (control group). Briefly, after erythrocyte lysis, peripheral blood will be stained with 10µL fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-human CD34 mAb, 10µL phycoethrin-conjugated anti-human KDR mAb, and 10µL allophycocyanin-conjugated anti-CD133 mAb.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Diabetic lower extremity arterial disease ( DLEAD ), is a common complication of type 2 diabetes. However, DLEAD remains less studied than other diabetic vascular complications; and only few randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have dealt with major lower-limb adverse events as prespecified endpoints. Studies have suggested that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues have a protective effect on the development of atherosclerosis, potentially mediated via the GLP-1 receptors expressed on endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and in monocytes/macrophages. The investigators aim to evaluate the improvement of lower extremity ischemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with lower limb vascular lesions after liraglutide, compared with the standard-of-care treatment group.
Detailed Description
GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that mediates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.Accumulating data from both animal and human studies confirmed a beneficial effect of GLP-1 on myocardium, endothelium and vasculature, suggesting the potential ameliorative effect of peripheral atherosclerosis. In our preliminary studies shown that liraglutide, a long-acting GLP-1R agonist (GLP1RA), stimulate endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis. The study aims to test the hypothesis that sustained activation of the GLP-1R enhances microvascular perfusion, promotes angiogenesis, leading to increased walking distance and limb perfusion in diabetes patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to with or without liraglutide treatment by a 6-month follow-up. The primary endpoints are the change in initial and absolute claudication distance and assessment of limb ischemia at 6 months compared with baseline. This trial will collect important mechanistic and clinical information on the safety and efficacy of liraglutide in T2DM patients with PAD.
