Trial summary

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent medical condition. Patients with PAD are usually diagnosed on the basis of the ankle-brachial index. The ankle-brachial index is the ratio of ankle pressure to arm pressure after measurement of blood pressures in the arms and legs using a Doppler device. Read more about this study

About this study

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent medical condition. Patients with PAD are usually diagnosed on the basis of the ankle-brachial index. The ankle-brachial index is the ratio of ankle pressure to arm pressure after measurement of blood pressures in the arms and legs using a Doppler device. The need for dedicated equipment and trained personnel, along with the time required to perform the test, have been identified as barriers to widespread implementation of ankle-brachial index screening. The use of automated oscillometric devices for blood pressure measurement has been applied to leg pressure measurement and determination of the ankle-brachial index with variable success. It will be beneficial to investigate a reliable oscillometric-based procedure that can accurately measure leg pressures for the ankle-brachial index across the entire spectrum of PAD severity.

In a previous pilot study completed in 2009 (IRB 08-823), the investigators gathered data from N=60 subjects which allowed for mathematical analysis of oscillometric waveforms derived from the lower extremities as compared to Doppler-based measurements of blood pressure. We used signal processing analysis and regression techniques to develop a two-step algorithm which will allow for accurate interpretation of oscillometric waveforms in normal/mild vs. moderate/severely diseased limb and accurate calculation of ankle pressure across the spectrum of peripheral artery disease severity.

This proposed project will validate this novel oscillometric ABI algorithm in a population of patients who have been identified as at risk for PAD and for whom screening ABI has been recommended by multiple professional organizations (AHA/ACC and American Diabetes Association). Arm, ankle, and toe pressure measurements will be made in the supine position using Doppler, oscillometric methods, and a photoplethysmographic sensor. The ankle-brachial index and toe-brachial index will be calculated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Summit Doppler Systems, Inc. at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 24 Feb 2011. 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 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.

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.

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 24 Feb 2011.
