About this study

Official title: Open Label Clinical Study to Assess the Clinical Safety of a New Compression Procedure in Subjects With Peripheral Arterial Vascular Disease

To assess the safety of a new compression device applied to patients with an ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) 0,5 - 0,8 who are treated for two weeks in daily routine practice. Several perfusion assessments will investigate safety under reduced compression therapy.

Read the detailed description

Venous leg ulcers represent a very common clinical problem with increasing prevalence in an aging population. It is believed that venous insufficiency is the underlying condition responsible for 54-81% of leg ulcers. About 8% of leg ulcers are related to arterial insufficiency and about 14% have a mixed aetiology. Compression therapy is considered the most effective treatment for these ulcers. The overall cost of chronic venous leg ulcer is high because long term ongoing care is required. Also the quality of life of these patients is jeopardized due to long lasting ulcer treatments and inconvenient compression therapies.

Several compression products are available on the market and there is a large body of literature describing the clinical benefit of different compression systems.

A new treatment approach with the new device is to have an effective working pressure combined with a low resting pressure. A high working pressure achieved by a rigid sleeve around a patient's leg is essential to support the muscle pump, necessary for sufficient blood reflux. However the resting pressure could be low without relevant reduction of compression efficacy but with an increase in safety for patients with a mild to moderate peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD). A high resting pressure is believed to be a main reason for reduced arterial skin perfusion which can result in pressure related skin damage. Accordingly most compression systems are not indicated for patients with an ABPI lower than 0.8. About 25% of patients with chronic venous insufficiency suffer from PAOD and hence are very difficult to treat with compression. With the new device, these patients could be sufficiently treated, because a low resting pressure is believed to have low influence on skin perfusion.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • A new treatment approach is to have an effective working pressure combined with a low resting pressure.Procedure or surgery

    Procedure Schedule: The total duration for study participation will be 14 days (8 visits).

    Subject eligibility will be determined at the initiation visit. All eligible subjects will receive the compression device on the study leg and will return to the clinical center at day 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 and 14 to assess safety. At each clinical visit (except visit day 14) the compression device will be reapplied. The study participation ends after 14 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of the new compression device in subjects with an ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) between 0.5-0.8.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A new treatment approach is to have an effective working pressure combined with a low resting pressure. in people with Peripheral Arterial Vascular Disease, run by Solventum US LLC at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 2 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of the new compression device in subjects with an ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) between 0.5-0.8. (time frame: 2 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 2 Oct 2024.
