Filter by:Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is almost invariably associated with a generalized atherosclerotic involvement of the arterial tree and endothelial dysfunction. Previous short term studies showed improvement of vascular reactivity and walking capacity in PAD patients by measures aimed at restoring Nitric Oxide (NO) production. NO is also known to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. We wished to assess whether the prolonged administration of a NO-donating agent (NCX 4016) improves the functional capacity of PAD patients and affects the progression of atherosclerosis as assessed by carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Four hundred forty two patients with stable intermittent claudication were enrolled in a prospective, double blind, placebo-controlled study and randomized to either NCX 4016 800mg bid or its placebo for 6 months. The primary study outcome was the absolute claudication distance (ACD) on a constant treadmill test (10% incline, 3km/hr); main secondary end-point was the change of the mean far-wall right common carotid artery IMT.
The primary purpose of this Phase 2 study is to optimize Plasmin delivery by comparing different delivery regimens in patients with peripheral arterial occlusion. The study includes a blinded plasminogen activator treatment group and a blinded plasminogen activator placebo group. The study will also assess safety and tolerability of Plasmin at 150 and 250 mg doses.
The primary objective is to assess safety and efficacy of two different doses of NV1FGF as compared to placebo. The secondary objective is to assess the pharmacokinetics of NV1FGF and FGF-1 protein.
The primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of single and repeated administrations of escalating doses of NV1FGF administered intramuscularly in patients with severe Peripheral Artery Occlusive Disease (PAOD), (Rutherford's Grade II, category 4 or Grade III, category 5 and 6). Secondary objectives are: - To determine the biological activity of NV1FGF on collateral artery development. - To evaluate the activity of NV1FGF on hemodynamic and clinical parameters.
The primary objective is to evaluate the transgene expression (synthesis of FGF-1 mRNA) in injected tissue, at injection site, after Intra Muscular (IM) administration of increasing single doses of NV1FGF. Secondary objectives : - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IM administration of increasing single doses of NV1FGF - To evaluate the transgene expression (FGF-1 protein) in injected tissues (injection site and remote site) - To evaluate the presence of FGF-1 receptors in injected tissues (injection site and remote site) - To evaluate the NV1FGF biodistribution in injected tissues (injection site and remote site), in multiple organs/tissues when appropriate, and plasma - To evaluate the transgene expression (synthesis of FGF-1 mRNA) in injected tissue at remote site - To collect data from plasma NV1FGF pharmacokinetics - To evaluate healing of the amputation site
The objective of the study is To verify the safety and efficacy of the MDT-4107 Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent in the treatment of de novo lesions in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter (RVD) that allows the use of 2.25mm diameter stents.
Different strategies exist in the treatment of chronic long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery. Traditionally, these patients should be treated with bypass. If the great saphenous vein is unavailable, doctor has to choose artificial vessel as graft. Now, the skill of endovascular treatment is developing rapidly, and lots of doctors think most of such patients could be treated with stent. The purpose of this trial is to compare stent and artificial blood vessel bypass in the treatment of long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery. The study hypothesis is that patency rates are comparable and therefore the minimal invasive treatment of stent can be considered in such patients.
The objective of this study is to collect retrospectively long term safety data in patients who have participated in the previous phase I-II trials conducted with the compound.
To demonstrate the patency and safety of vascular grafts: EXXCEL and FUSION Bioline.
Study hypothesis: elevated Troponin T is a marker of increased mortality in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).
