Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Niacin ER/Lovastatin, at two different doses, compared to diet control (this group will receive a tablet containing 50 mg. of immediate-release niacin) is a safe and effective medicine in subjects with leg pain caused by a narrowing of their leg arteries, a condition called intermittent claudication. At least 366 subjects with leg pain caused by a narrowing of their leg arteries will participate in this study. Niacin ER/Lovastatin is a combination of two FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) approved cholesterol modifying medications: Niaspan® (extended-release niacin) and lovastatin, a statin (the same medicine found in Mevacor®). Niacin ER/Lovastatin was approved by the FDA under the name of Advicor® for use in the treatment of elevated cholesterol. The use of Niacin ER/Lovastatin in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease and symptomatic relief of intermittent claudication is considered investigational. An investigational use is one that is not approved by the FDA.
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the overall safety of different dose regimens of AMG0001 (HGF transferred via plasmid vector) as well as evaluate the improvement of blood perfusion in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI). This study also evaluated the improvement in wound healing without adverse effects on the quality of life, as well as the potential reduction of amputation, mortality and rest pain in the CLI population.
Ecraprost in lipid emulsion is being developed for the treatment of Critical leg ischemia (CLI), which is the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD); This trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of the drug in the treatment of CLI.
To examine the epidemiology of renal disease and its relationship to cardiovascular disease.
To determine the mechanisms by which atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease (PAD) causes functional impairment and to define the degree to which peripheral artery disease associated pathophysiologic findings change over time.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of graft pretreatment with the E2F decoy, CGT003, as compared to placebo, on the occurrence of graft failure among patients who receive autogenous vein grafts to treat chronic critical limb ischemia; on the occurrence of clinically significant graft stenosis (more than or equal to 70%); and on the incidence of critical limb ischemia (e.g., gangrene, non-healing ischemic ulcers or ischemic rest pain).
To evaluate potentially modifiable lifestyle predictors of venous thromboembolism and their joint associations with biochemical and genetic determinants.
To investigate associations between hemostatic and inflammatory blood factors and progression of lower extremity arterial ischemia and cardiovascular events in men and women with and without lower extremity peripheral arterial disease.
Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study #410, The Iron and Atherosclerosis Trial, FeAST, a 24-hospital prospective randomized single-blinded clinical trial of graded iron reduction was conducted between May 1, 1999 and April 30, 2005, and has now been completed. A total of 1,277 primarily male participants with peripheral arterial disease were entered. The primary outcome was all cause mortality and the secondary outcome combined death plus non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.
This study will determine if a highly standardized herbal extract of the leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree will benefit patients who have pain on walking due to narrowing of the arteries of the legs.
