Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The PACCOCATH FEM study is a randomized, double-blinded German multicenter trial on the efficacy and tolerance of a paclitaxel coated balloon catheter in prevention of restenosis after femoropopliteal angioplasty.

The purpose of this study is to develop new ways of imaging fatty blockages in the leg arteries to improve upon techniques used now and to develop new ways of understanding how new treatments may affect the disease.

We are conducting a clinical research trial to determine the role of self-managed walking therapy to improve walking ability in patients with diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD, commonly referred to as poor circulation in the legs, is a very common disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. For patients with PAD, there is a significant risk for poor walking ability and limb loss. One major treatment for PAD is walking therapy but the traditional methods for the delivery of this treatment have required frequent visits to a university or hospital-based site. We will address the role of self-managed walking program, to be conducted at or near the home, to improve limb function.

There is increasing evidence of the linkage of type 2 diabetes with low testosterone levels in men.

To evaluate the performance of the GORE VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis compared to a bare nitinol stent for the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease in long lesions.

Severe peripheral vascular disease of the legs causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the legs, which keeps the blood from flowing adequately through these vessels. This study is designed to examine whether treating patients with their own previously collected blood stem cells will improve blood flow in the most severely affected leg. Blood stem cells are undeveloped cells that have the capacity to grow into mature blood cells, which normally circulate in the blood stream.

NM-702 oral tablets are being developed for the treatment of Intermittent Claudication, a primary early stage indication of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of 4 mg and/or 8 mg NM-702 taken twice a day (BID) for 24 weeks to see if it improves peak walking time (PWT) more than placebo for the treatment of Intermittent Claudication.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of nutrition, a supervised treadmill exercise program, and supervised progressive resistance training program on peripheral arterial disease.

This is a phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which subjects with intermittent claudication (IC) will be randomized to receive a single treatment of VLTS-934 (84 mL, or a total of 420 mg poloxamer 188) or placebo (84 mL saline) administered as 21 intramuscular (IM) injections of 2 mL each, bilaterally into the lower extremities during one procedure to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and potential activity of VLTS-934 as compared with a saline placebo.

The purpose of this study is to compare the dose response and safety of Niacin ER/Lovastatin, Niaspan® and Lovastatin with each other, in subjects with leg pain caused by a narrowing of their leg arteries. At least 870 subjects, with leg pain caused by a narrowing of their leg arteries will take part in this study. Both Niaspan and lovastatin (Mevacor®) are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat high cholesterol. Niacin ER/Lovastatin (Advicor®), a combination of these two drugs, is also approved by the FDA to treat high cholesterol. The use of Niacin ER/Lovastatin to treat narrowing of leg arteries and relieve "intermittent claudication" (leg pain caused by narrowing of the arteries in the leg) is considered investigational. An investigational use is one that is not approved by the FDA.
