Trial summary

Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is the most serious stage of peripheral occlusive arterial disease (POAD). Despite progress in the revascularization procedures, half these patients experience amputation or death after one year. Read more about this study

About this study

Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is the most serious stage of peripheral occlusive arterial disease (POAD). Despite progress in the revascularization procedures, half these patients experience amputation or death after one year. One issue is to identify these subjects because aggressive treatment is necessary in those cases, while in others (ie leg ulcer in a patient with POAD but no rest lower limb ischaemia), revascularization will not be necessary. Then it would be useful to develop a simple score to help the physician to improve diagnosis of CLI.

Read the detailed description

Today many patients with suspected critical limb ischaemia do not have objective assessment of limb ischaemia despite recommendations, mainly because of lack of vascular medicine units able to measure ischaemia with adequate methods such as toe pressure or TCpo2. It would be very useful to better identify the patients who need to be explored, or at least to have an evidence-based clinical assessment in those who cannot be explored . The objective is to develop a simple clinical prediction rule of critical lower limb ischaemia.

Two definitions are currently used for critical limb ischaemia. In both definitions, objective confirmation is needed for critical limb ischaemia by measurement of ankle pressure, toe pressure or transcutaneous oxygen pressure. These two latter measurements are mandatory in the numerous patients whose ankle pressure measurement is not possible (diabetes, chronic renal failure). Unfortunately few vascular medicine units exist to carry out these measurements, so that it would be useful to better identify those patients who need to be explored. In those who cannot be explored, better clinical assessment would also be very useful.

The investigators aim to develop a simple clinical prediction rule by completing a specific clinical chart in the patients hospitalized for peripheral occlusive arterial disease in Bordeaux, Toulouse and Limoges university hospital vascular medicine units and included in the COPART II cohort. Internal validation will be performed using cross-validation and bootstrap methods.

To achieve the secondary objective, the patients will be followed-up for the duration of the study (ie from 1 to 3 years) to evaluate the prediction of clinical outcomes (death or amputation) by both definitions of critical limb ischaemia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Possible predictors: Clinical signs and symptoms collected on a specific clinical chart developed by investigators

    The specific clinical chart will be completed by 2 investigators independently in order to assess the reproductibility as well.

    Measured: Baseline (pre-inclusion visit)

  2. Predicted event: number of participants with diagnosis of Critical Lower Limb Ischaemia according to TASC I and II definitions

    Measured: Day 1 (inclusion visit)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Possible predictor: number of participants with diagnosis of Critical Lower Limb Ischaemia according to TASC I and II definitions

    Measured: Day 1 (inclusion visit)

  2. Predicted event: number of dead participants

    The vital status will be collected for every participant every year

    Measured: Every year during study (up to 3 years)

  3. Predicted event: number of participants who underwent amputation

    The amputation occurrence will be collected for every participant every year

    Measured: Every year during study (up to 3 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lower Limb Ischaemia, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 3 sites in France.

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 0 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 14 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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?

Possible predictors: Clinical signs and symptoms collected on a specific clinical chart developed by investigators (time frame: Baseline (pre-inclusion visit)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Mar 2022.
