Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 12 weeks of daily home use of the FM220 in the most affected leg of patients with PAD and claudication, will improve peak walking time (PWT) at three months as compared with a non-treated control group. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged 40 or more.
  • Peripheral arterial disease as determined by resting ABI<0.90.
  • Reduction in post exercise Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) of > 20% in the symptomatic limb.
  • Stable claudication for the past three months
  • Baseline PWT between 1 and 10 minutes
  • If the patient is under claudication drug therapy (eg. cilostazol and pentoxifvlline) the use and dose of these drugs has been stable for the last 60 days.
  • If the patient is receiving of statin and antiplatelet therapy, the use and dose of these drugs has been stable for the last 60 days.

Who cannot join

  • Any active pathological heart, muscular, neurological, orthopedic, cognitive or pulmonary disease which might interfere with patient compliance or ability to walk on a treadmill in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Non compressible arteries as defined by ABI>1.1
  • Clinical evidence of acute or subacute superficial or deep venous thrombosis confirmed by continuous-wave Doppler in the affected extremity.
  • Deep venous insufficiency on clinical grounds or by lab measurements.
  • Prior below-knee surgical revascularization procedure within the last 6 months.
  • Significant likelihood of lower extremity arterial revascularization procedure within the next 6 months.

  • Ulcer, cellulitis, skin conditions, or superficial thrombophlebitis in regions covered by the compression device preventing use of the device.
  • Acute pulmonary embolism.
  • Osteomyelitis of the lower extremity.
  • Gangrene of the lower extremity.
  • Acute limb ischemia.
  • Clinical scenarios in which increased venous or lymphatic return is undesirable.
  • Painful calf conditions which would exclude use of the pump.
  • Peripheral neuropathy that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prevent patient from accurately assessing claudication symptoms or identifying Cutaneous comfort of the device Vein ligation.
  • Pulmonary edema.
  • Significant aorto-iliac disease as demonstrated by physical examination or objective testing. Absence of aorto-iliac disease must be documented by segmental testing performed within 90 days of study enrollment.
  • Critical leg ischemia with evidence of rest pain, ischemic ulceration, gangrene.
  • Participation in any clinical trial within the past 30 days.
  • Morbid obesity, defined by BMI>40, weight greater than 300 lbs or leg circumference greater than 19.7 inches.
  • Pregnancy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intermittent compression in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Intermittent Claudication, run by FlowMedic at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yehudit Kraizer, Ph.D. (+972-54-3010902, yehuditk@flowmedic.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Increase in Peak Walking Time as determined on graded treadmill test at 12 weeks. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Dec 2009.
