About this study

Official title: Contrast Ultrasound Perfusion Imaging in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Contrast ultrasound is a technique that can quantify blood flow in the tissues of the body by ultrasound detection of microbubble contrast agents that behave in the circulation similar to red blood cells. In this study, the investigators hypothesize that contrast ultrasound of blood flow in the leg (thigh and calf) at rest and during stress produced by medications that mimic exercise (vasodilator stress) can provide information on the location and severity of peripheral vascular disease (blockages of the blood vessels in the leg). The investigators will also determine whether symptom improvement after revascularization (procedures to open up or bypass the blockages) is directly related to the improvement in blood flow.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Oregon Health and Science University 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 2 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 27 Sep 2016. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quantitation of Perfusion (time frame: Immediate). 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 27 Sep 2016.
