Active clinical trials for "Vascular Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of PLX-PAD, Intra-muscular injections for the treatment of CLI patients.

The primary objective of this study is to examine effects of fosbretabulin tromethamine (fosbretabulin) on PCV as reflected by a change from baseline in the number of polypoid lesions on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of telcagepant in the treatment of acute migraine in participants with stable vascular disease. Acetaminophen/paracetamol (APAP) will be used as an active comparator in this study. The primary hypothesis of this study is that telcagepant 300 mg is superior to placebo.

This is a 12 month study of monthly injections of ranibizumab in subjects with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy as diagnosed by fluoresceins/indocyanine green (FA/ICG) angiography.

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

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.

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.

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.

This study will examine the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting blood vessel inflammation. The results of this study may later be applied to diagnosing inflammation of arteries in patients with atherosclerosis, predicting disease progression in these patients, and guiding therapy. Patients with peripheral artery disease (for example, blockage of a leg artery) undergoing balloon angioplasty at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, may be eligible to participate in this study. Because this procedure, which opens blocked arteries, can cause inflammation in the vessel wall, it affords an opportunity for studying MRI detection of such inflammation. Study candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical examination. Participants will have a MRI scan and blood drawn at Suburban Hospital before the angioplasty and again either 1 to 3 days or 2 weeks after the procedure. Before the MRI scan is begun, a catheter (a thin plastic tube) is inserted in an arm vein and 90 milliliters (about 3 ounces) of blood is drawn. The patient then lies on a table that slides into the MRI scanner-a large donut-shaped machine with a magnetic field. A flexible, padded sensor called an MRI coil is placed over the area to be imaged; this device is used to improve the quality of the pictures. During the scan a contrast material called gadolinium is injected through the catheter. Gadolinium brightens the image of the blood vessels. The procedure lasts up to 2 hours.
