About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Multi-center Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a New Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Device on Initial Claudication Distance in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease Stage II.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new intermittent pneumatic compression device on initial claudication distance in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease stage II

Read the detailed description

Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) suffer from symptoms such as intermittent claudication, limb and foot pain and tissue lesions, which are difficult to treat. In recent years, there have been reports demonstrating reduction of these symptoms by use of compressible sleeve devices.

This clinical study aims at demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of this device in treating PAD symptoms.

Being tested
AngioPress Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) Device, Medications and Standard walking exercises

Receives: Other: Medications and Standard walking exercises

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Absolute Claudication Distance (ACD)

    Absolute walking distance is measured by walking on a treadmill until the point when the subject is inable to walk anymore due to pain in the leg. The walking distance is measured by meters

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AngioPress Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) Device and Medications and Standard walking exercises in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Mego Afek Ltd. at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 21 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany, Israel. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute Claudication Distance (ACD) (time frame: 3 months). 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 31 Aug 2012.
