Trial summary

The main purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and feasible to use cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) after successful revascularization. This study will also test if CR improves quality of life and health outcomes in PAD patients. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with PAD post-revascularization (stent, angioplasty, or bypass).
  • Patients must have the ability to ambulate safely without assistance and should not have plans for undergoing further staged revascularization procedures.

Who cannot join

  • Below or above the knee amputation.
  • Underlying cardiopulmonary or other co-morbidity that would be an exclusion under currently approved standard CR protocols at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC).
  • Unfavorable short term prognosis and limited life expectancy (<2 years)
  • Awaiting a planned staged revascularization in same or other leg (patients will be eligible once no further procedures are planned).

About this study

Official title: To Assess the Safety and Feasibility of a Structured Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease After Successful Revascularization Procedures: A Pilot Study.

The main purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and feasible to use cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) after successful revascularization. This study will also test if CR improves quality of life and health outcomes in PAD patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Cardiac Rehabilitation ProgramOther

    Program will involve 36 sessions. These will be scheduled as 3 sessions per week. If you cannot complete 3 sessions per week the 36 sessions could be spread out over 6 months.

    Each session will last between 30-60 minutes. Sessions will involve aerobic activity, diet/nutritional counseling, and smoking cessation information.

  • Conventional TherapyOther

    Participants will be asked to complete tests and questionnaires that would normally be done for their condition.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in 6 minute walk test

    Results will be measured in meters.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Up to 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36)

    Change in quality of life measured using the SF-36. The survey has 36 questions and measure eight health dimensions. The scores range from 0-100. A higher score represents less disability. A lower score represents more disability.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Up to 6 Months

  2. Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36)

    Change in quality of life measured using the SF-36. The survey has 36 questions and measure eight health dimensions. The scores range from 0-100. A higher score represents less disability. A lower score represents more disability.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 18

  3. Vascular Quality of Life Questionnaire-6 (VascuQol6)

    The six-item Vascular Quality of Life (VascuQol-6) is a valid, practical, and responsive instrument for the assessment of health-related QOL in patients with PAD. The main advantage is the compact format that offers a possibility for routine use in busy clinical settings.

    Range of scores and what they represent: Each question is scored 1-4. The total score is achieved by summarizing the score on each question, resulting in a score between 6 and 24. Higher value indicates better health status.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Up to 6 Months

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Week 18

  5. Absolute Claudication Distance (ACD)

    ACD is defined as the walking distance after which a patient had to stop walking to relieve claudication pain. Distance is measured in meters

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Up to 6 Months

  6. Functional Claudication Distance (FCD)

    FCD is defined as the distance a patient would prefer to stop because of claudication pain. Distance is measured in meters.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to Up to 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac Rehabilitation Program and Conventional Therapy in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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 6 Sep 2019. 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?

Change in 6 minute walk test (time frame: Change from Baseline to Up to 6 Months). 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 6 Sep 2019.
