In this study, we will explore how ultrasound exposure of ultrasound contrast agents, which produces beneficial shear-mediated bioeffects, can be used to treat patients with severe non-healing ulcers secondary to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The primary outcome measure is whether ultrasound exposure to microbubble contrast agents in the inflow artery and at the wound site can accelerate wound healing. A secondary outcome measure is whether cavitation-related changes occur in tissue perfusion in the treated limb and wound measured by ultrasound perfusion imaging and skin flow.

Lower limb amputation is common in the United States, with approximately 150,000 amputations annually. Most individuals walking with a prosthesis demonstrate asymmetrical loading-i.e., they favor the amputated side by placing more weight and increased ground reaction forces through the intact limb-which likely contributes to increased metabolic cost of walking. Lack of adequate muscular strength in the lower limb to attenuate these forces places increased stress on the joints, which may be displaced proximally, and may play a role in reported knee and hip pain in the intact limb. Lower limb muscle weakness following amputation has been well documented. Increasing quadriceps strength is important after an amputation because it is positively correlated with gait speed. Gait speed may also be associated with successful community mobility, which leads to improved quality of life following amputation. Individuals with amputation who resume an active lifestyle are able to maintain strength. However, these individuals represent a minority of persons with lower limb amputation; most individuals report more barriers than motivators to adopt an active lifestyle. Ischemic conditioning (IC) may strengthen leg muscles and reduce the metabolic cost of activity after amputation. In IC, the limb is exposed to brief, repeated bouts of ischemia (reduced blood flow) immediately followed by reperfusion. IC has been shown to improve muscle performance in healthy and diseased populations. IC has also been used more recently in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) as an intervention to improve function, such as walking ability. Acute exposure to IC increases muscle strength and activation, both in healthy, active individuals and in those with severe neuromuscular dysfunction, such as stroke survivors. IC also attenuates muscular fatigue. Increased fatigue resistance at submaximal contraction levels following IC may be due to increased neural activation of skeletal muscle. Changes in neural activation of muscle may be particularly beneficial during cortical reorganization after amputation. Reduced quadriceps fatigue during submaximal activities may also drive changes in gait kinematics, such as increased knee flexion during loading and mid-stance. Exposure to IC may also increase the oxidative properties of skeletal muscle, offering a direct pathway to reduce metabolic cost. Therefore, IC may lead to cellular changes that lower the metabolic cost of activity. The primary aim of this study is to quantify the benefits of acute and chronic IC on quadriceps strength and walking economy in individuals with PAD and history of lower limb amputation.

Fisetin for PAD

Chicago, Illinois
The investigators propose a pilot randomized trial to gather preliminary data to test the hypothesis that Fisetin will reduce abundance of senescent cells in blood, skeletal muscle, and both subcutaneous and inter muscular adipose tissue and improve 6-minute walk distance in 34 people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). the investigators will determine whether greater declines in abundance of cells with senescent markers are associated with greater improvement in 6-minute walk distance in people with peripheral artery disease. In exploratory analyses, the investigators will assess whether Fisetin reduces interleukin-6 (IL-6) and novel senescent markers in adipose tissue, muscle, and/or blood.

This study follows the Pilot Investigation of Ewing Amputation for Veterans with PAD Undergoing a Below Knee Amputation. The 2 year pilot feasibility phase has concluded recruitment and enrollment. The current phase is a 5 year randomized study of Ewing Below Knee Amputation vs. Standard Below Knee Amputation. If Veterans participate, they will be randomized to either Ewing Amputation or Standard Below Knee Amputation. The scientific premise motivating this proposal is that Ewing Amputation is a promising surgical technique that may improve walking metrics in dysvascular Veterans by providing a better residual limb and improving pain and balance. In preparation of this proposal, we have formed multi-disciplinary surgical teams at each site, and we have been supported by a clinical trial planning meeting to garner the considerable expertise in rehabilitation and amputee assessment from VA and DOD experts to assist in the design of this proposal, testing the overall hypothesis that: Ewing Amputation can help Veterans walk.

The population of older Veterans with non-traumatic lower limb amputation is growing. Following lower limb amputation, asymmetrical movements persist during walking and likely contribute to disabling sequelae including secondary pain conditions, poor gait efficiency, impaired physical function, and compromised skin integrity of the residual limb. This study seeks to address chronic gait asymmetry by evaluating the efficacy of two error-manipulation gait training programs to improve gait symmetry for Veterans with non-traumatic lower limb amputation. Additional this study will evaluate the potential of error-manipulation training programs to improve secondary measures of disability and residual limb skin health. Ultimately, this study aims to improve conventional prosthetic rehabilitation for Veterans with non-traumatic amputation through gait training programs based in motor learning principles, resulting in improved gait symmetry and lower incidence of long-term disability after non-traumatic lower limb amputation.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the head, organs, and limbs. PAD usually occurs in the arteries in the legs, but can affect any arteries. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries which limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to organs and other parts of the body. Blocked blood flow to the arteries can cause pain and numbness. The pain is usually worse with exercise and gets better with rest. PAD can raise the risk of getting an infection which could lead to tissue death and amputation. This study is investigating whether granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) improves symptoms and blood flow in people with PAD. GM-CSF is a drug that is used to stimulate the bone marrow to release stem cells. Participants in the study will be randomly selected to receive GM-CSF or a placebo. After a four-week screening phase, participants will receive injections of GM-CSF or a placebo three times a week for three-weeks. Three months later, participants will again receive injections of GM-CSF or placebo three times a week for three-weeks. At six months, the study team will follow up to see if the group that received GM-CSF had more improvement than the group that received placebo.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Peripheral Arterial Disease clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Peripheral Arterial Disease clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Peripheral Arterial Disease trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Peripheral Arterial Disease is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Peripheral Arterial Disease medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Peripheral Arterial Disease clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Exercise and Beetroot Juice for Peripheral Arterial Disease, Ewing Amputation for Peripheral Arterial Disease and Carnosine for Peripheral Arterial Disease to the Power online platform.
