Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

This study is a randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint, parallel-group, active-control, multi-center, proof-of-concept study in subjects with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), designed to assess the safety and potential efficacy of adding edoxaban to aspirin following femoropopliteal endovascular intervention, with or without stent placement, relative to current treatment practice with clopidogrel and aspirin.

The primary objective of the Phase I ascending dose trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of intramuscular (gastrocnemius) injections of human neural stem cell product, CTX, in patients with peripheral arterial disease (Fontaine Stage II through IV). This trial is based on independent preclinical data from a leading academic research institution that has been submitted for publication. Inclusion of patients with Fontaine Stage II is justified as these patients have a lower incidence of background events and will facilitate distinction between events which are possibly intervention-related versus spontaneous events associated with underlying advanced atherosclerosis. The trial is designed to treat 9-18 patients and evaluate safety measures over a 12 month follow-up period.

The purpose of this pivotal, first in man study will be to evaluate safety and efficacy of the novel, microcrystalline paclitaxel coated balloon (mcPCB, PAK, Balton) in the treatment of femoropopliteal artery disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether DEB is more effective than common PTA balloon using under in long-term vessel patency and inhibiting restenosis in the infrapopliteal artery.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of recanalization of acute and subacute femoropopliteal stent occlusions with the Rotarex S catheter (Straub Medical)

This single center, multiple ascending dose study will assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of RO4905417 at different doses in healthy volunteers and patients with peripheral arterial disease. Three groups of 10 healthy volunteers will receive RO4905417 (either 3mg/kg, 7mg/kg or 20mg/kg) or placebo iv every 28 days for a total of 3 infusions. In addition, two groups of 6 PAD patients will receive RO4905417 (either 3mg/kg, 7mg/kg) or placebo and 1 group of 20 PAD patients will receive 20mg/kg RO4905417 or placebo iv every 28 days for a total of three infusions. The study will have an adaptive design with ongoing assessment of safety and tolerability prior to initiation of the next dose. All subjects will receive 3 doses of RO4905417 or matching placebo at 28 day intervals. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

To assess the safety of a new compression device applied to patients with an ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) 0,5 - 0,8 who are treated for two weeks in daily routine practice. Several perfusion assessments will investigate safety under reduced compression therapy.

Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease (PAOD) is a condition caused by ischemia in the legs due to atherosclerotic disease affecting the larger arteries of the legs. Chronic PAOD can be regarded as a marker of generalized atherosclerosis. PAOD threatens the survival of an extremity and often causes lifelong disablement from a painful leg. The clinical consequences of PAOD include pain on walking (claudication), pain at rest and loss of tissue integrity in the distal limbs.A variety of medical therapies have been investigated for patients with PAOD. There is currently no evidence to suggest that any medical therapy is effective for patients with rest pain and/or ischemic ulcers. Also, the use of intramuscular angiogenic VEGF-A gene transfer has recently demonstrated a improvement in clinical and hemodynamic status in patients with severe PAOD

This study is intended to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of treatment of de novo or restenotic lesions of the above-the-knee femoropopliteal artery using the Zilver® Flex™ Vascular Stent which has received the CE mark for commercial use. The study is designed as a single arm non-randomized post-approval study.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the intermediate and long-term effectiveness of stand-alone atherectomy treatment of peripheral arterial disease in the legs.
