Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Arterial Disease"

The specific study aim is to determine whether a 12-week digitally delivered behavior change intervention for patients with peripheral artery disease increases walking ability, reduces smoking, improves quality of life and improves medication adherence. The primary and secondary endpoints will primarily be captured at a 12 weeks follow-up visit, but a follow-up visit after 12 months is also planned; to assess longer term effect on outcomes and healthcare cost.

An exploratory evaluation of the efficacy and safety of CLZ-BM3D for the treatment of symptomatic peripheral occlusive arterial disease of the superficial femoral artery or proximal popliteal artery

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a highly debilitating disease that affects 202 million people around the world and about 7 million people in France. Morbi-mortality from cardiovascular events is increased in this population. Intermittent claudication is defined as a discomfort and/or pain in the legs during walking. It is the most common clinical feature of PAD. In claudication, primary therapeutic approach is medical treatment and advice to walk. Revascularization is only proposed when medical treatment and advice to walk for at least 3 to 6 months have failed to improve symptoms and walking ability. Optimal medical treatment includes Antiplatelet, Lipid Lowering Drugs, AT2 antagonists / ACE Inhibitors and advice to walk. To date, no other drug has provided consistent evidence for functional improvement in claudication, except for Cilostazol, a type-3 phospho-diesterase inhibitor (PDEi). This compound has been scarcely used in France due to cost and frequent side effect (Headache, Flush, Diarrhea, etc.) and was withdrawn as a therapy in 2010. Sildenafil, a type 5 PDEi, is well tolerated, largely used in impotence and has interesting clinical delay and duration of action in the concept of a potential use in claudication. Preliminary data from the literature and unpublished case reports, suggest that this drug could efficiently improve symptoms and walking capacity in patients with stage 2 claudication.

Randomized multicenter clinical trial consisting of two arms; one arm treated with PTA plus the MicroStent® System and one arm treated with PTA alone. Purpose to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using the MicroStent® Peripheral Vascular Stent System, hereafter referred to as the MicroStent® System, for the treatment of infrapopliteal lesions in subjects with peripheral arterial disease.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with limb-threatening ischemia (PAD-LTI) involves both macrocirculation and microcirculation. Macrocirculatory abnormalities are accessible to revascularization techniques (endovascular or surgical) contrary to microcirculatory abnormalities. Conservative treatments have limited efficacy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). There is no alternative treatment for patients with PAD-LTI in hemodialysis. Rheopheresis is an apheresis technique specifically designed for the treatment of microcirculatory disorders in which anomalies of rheology are at the center of physiopathology. This double cascade plasma filtration technique reduces plasma viscosity and eliminates inflammation mediators which play an essential role in PAD. This technique has already shown its effectiveness in a randomized trial in dry Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), another pathology of microcirculation. The effectiveness of rheopheresis in PAD-LTI has only been reported in a small number of cases. This Hypothesis is that the treatment of microcirculation by rheopheresis would improve wound healing of the ischemic lesion and/or reduce major amputation and thus the prognosis of the affected limb of the patient with PAD-LTI in hemodialysis. This objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of rheopheresis, (twelve sessions), to avoid major amputation and reaches complete wound healing of ischemic lesion in the dialysis patient population with PAD-LTI. This study is prospective, Controlled, Parallel, Randomized, Single blind and Multicentric in France (12 French centers).

The study aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a coached, smartphone-enabled exercise program versus physician directed exercise therapy (usual care).

A single-arm study to assess the utility of the Pantheris SV catheter in addressing peripheral artery disease in arteries located below the knee. Data will be collected on the percent stenosis pre- and post-atherectomy and then symptoms and adverse events noted at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure.

Open label, real-world, prospective, multi-center, single arm, post-market surveillance study of the SELUTION SLR™ (Sustained Limus Release) drug eluting balloon (DEB).

The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AngioSafe Peripheral CTO Crossing System.

Prospective, single-arm, multi-center, clinical investigation to continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PQ Bypass System to access, deliver guidewires, and implant stent grafts for a percutaneous femoropopliteal (fem-pop) bypass.
