Study Summary

This trial aims to investigate whether a medication called diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) can help improve antioxidant capacity, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance vascular function and walking capacity in individuals

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 50-75 with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) who experience leg pain during exercise and are not currently pregnant or nursing. They must not have severe PAD that has led to tissue loss, nor should they have kidney problems. Age-matched controls without PAD can also join if they don't have other diseases limiting exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether a drug called Vumerity improves antioxidant capacity, reducing oxidative stress and enhancing blood vessel function and walking ability in people with PAD. Participants will receive either Vumerity or a placebo, and their vascular function and walking capacity will be evaluated through various medical tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the specific side effects of Vumerity in this trial context aren't detailed here, common ones may include flushing, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea; however individual reactions can vary.

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: PAD: Vumerity intake, then PlaceboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with peripheral artery disease (PAD) will receive a single dose of VUMERITY (diroximal fumarate, 462mg). After a minimum period of 7 days, they will then receive a single dose of the placebo (microcrystalline cellulose, 462 mg).
Group II: Control: Vumerity intake, then PlaceboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive a single dose of VUMERITY (diroximal fumarate, 462mg). After a minimum period of 7 days, they will then receive a single dose of the placebo (microcrystalline cellulose, 462 mg).
Group III: Control: Placebo intake, then VumerityPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants will receive a single dose of placebo (microcrystalline cellulose, 462 mg). After a minimum period of 7 days, they will then receive a single dose of VUMERITY (diroximal fumarate, 462mg).
Group IV: PAD: Placebo intake, then VumerityPlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants with peripheral artery disease (PAD) will receive a single dose of placebo (microcrystalline cellulose, 462 mg). After a minimum period of 7 days, they will then receive a single dose of VUMERITY (diroximal fumarate, 462mg).
