About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Laboratory, Cellular and Molecular Determinants of Clinical Success of the Treatment in Diabetic Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia (ECAD-CLI) Study

The ECAD-CLI is an investigator-driven, prospective, single-center study. The aim of the study is to prospectively collect clinical, laboratory, angiographic, cellular and molecular variables related to prognosis and outcome in patients with diabetes mellitus and critical limb ischemia.

Read the detailed description

All consecutive patients admitted to Maria Cecilia Hospital will be enrolled in the ECAD-CLI study. According to interventional management of the patient the following data and samples will be prospectively collected and related to outcome:

  • medical history, cardiovascular risk factors, clinical presentation
  • information related to angiography of peripheral arteries. An independent core-lab will review angiographies to assess extent and severity of peripheral artery disease
  • information related to medical treatment, including antithrombotic agents, antimicrobics and any treatment to permit wound healing
  • blood sample to obtain DNA, RNA and serum
  • patient undergoing surgery and/or debridement for wound/ulcer due to diabetic foot disease will receive biopsy for specimen collection
  • atherosclerotic plaque sample in patients undergoing atherectomy for the treatment of the peripheral artery disease All clinical variables and information obtained from blood/tissue samples will be related to outcome.

Any adverse events will be judged by an independent blinded committee.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of amputation

    Occurrence of major or minor amputation

    Measured: 1-year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Wound healing

    occurrence of wound healing

    Measured: 1-year

  2. Change in WIfI class

    The Wound, Ischemia and Foot Infection is the most used classification for patients with diabetic foot disease. The classification ranges from 0 to 9. The scale includes 3 items: wound extension, presence and severity of ischemia, presence and severity of ischemia. Each item ranges from 0 to 3 points.

    Measured: 1-year

  3. Change in Rutherford class

    The Rutherford classification is the most used scale to stratify patients with peripheral artery disease. The classification ranges from class I to class VI. Patients with critical limb ischemia show a class from IV to VI. The Rutherford class will be assessed in all patients at baseline and 1-year after to estimate the presence or not of improvement

    Measured: 1-year

  4. Incidence of revascularization of peripheral arteries

    any procedure (percutaneous or surgical) of revascularization of peripheral arteries

    Measured: 1-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus and Critical Limb Ischemia, run by Maria Cecilia Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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 Mar 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Incidence of amputation (time frame: 1-year). 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 24 Mar 2023.
