About this study

The measurement of limb skeletal muscle perfusion and perfusion reserve during exercise is an approach that can assess the total impact of the complex pathophysiologic processes in patients with limb ischemia, particularly in those with diabetes in whom distal arterial disease and abnormal microvascular functional responses are common. This trial is designed to: (a) optimize methods for assessment of limb perfusion at rest and during stress using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (normal subjects) and a microbubble contrast agent that is able to provide non-linear signal without destruction at medium acoustic pressures, and (b) to test whether perfusion imaging provides incremental information on the severity of disease in patients with peripheral artery disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Contrast ultrasound of leg muscle with Sonazoid (Contrast ultrasound microvascular perfusion imaging)Drug

    Also called Contrast ultrasound microvascular perfusion imaging, Sonazoid

    Skeletal muscle perfusion assessment of the thigh and calf skeletal muscle will be performed with contrast ultrasound of leg muscle with Sonazoid while at rest and during exercise stress

Study groups in NCT02398266
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy subjectsExperimentalIntervention: administration of ultrasound contrast agent (drug) to assess muscle perfusion. Normal healthy subjects (n=10) will be used for optimization of dose and acoustic settings for performing real-time contrast ultrasound perfusion imaging of the limb.
Receives: Drug: Contrast ultrasound of leg muscle with Sonazoid (Contrast ultrasound microvascular perfusion imaging)
Patients with PAD and ABI 0.4-0.6ExperimentalIntervention: administration of ultrasound contrast agent (drug) to assess muscle perfusion. Patients with moderate to severe PAD (ABI 0.4 to 0.6) will be evaluated with contrast ultrasound perfusion imaging using methods optimized in the first Arm to determine whether symptoms better correlate with perfusion imaging than other measures of PAD severity.
Receives: Drug: Contrast ultrasound of leg muscle with Sonazoid (Contrast ultrasound microvascular perfusion imaging)
Patients with PAD Undergoing RevascularizationExperimentalIntervention: administration of ultrasound contrast agent (drug) to assess change in muscle perfusion produced by revascularization (surgical or percutaneous procedure). Patients with symptomatic PAD will be evaluated with contrast ultrasound perfusion imaging using methods optimized in the first Arm before and within 1 month of revascularization to determine whether improvement in symptoms correlate with perfusion imaging data.
Receives: Drug: Contrast ultrasound of leg muscle with Sonazoid (Contrast ultrasound microvascular perfusion imaging)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Contrast ultrasound of leg muscle with Sonazoid (Contrast ultrasound microvascular perfusion imaging) in people with Peripheral Artery 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 5 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 19 Jun 2017. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Skeletal muscle perfusion as measured by contrast ultrasound with Sonazoid microbubbles (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 19 Jun 2017.
