About this study

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in reducing the inflammation of perivascular adipose tissue and increasing peak walking time (PWT) among peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients with symptom of intermittent claudication.

Read the detailed description

Atherosclerotic lower extremity PAD affects the living quality of more than 20 million people in the world. PAD is associated with a major decline in functional status and claudication is the most evident symptom. Current claudication therapies reveal significant limitations. Pharmacotherapy and exercise are recommended in 2016 AHA/ACC Guideline on the management of lower extremity PAD patients with claudication. However, they may not achieve an ideal clinical therapeutic effect. Furthermore, endovascular procedure may not be feasible, durable or cost-effective, especially in femoropopliteal arteries.

The aim of this trial is to verify the hypothesis that SDT can reduce the inflammation of PVAT and improve PWT among PAD patients with symptom of intermittent claudication.

What participants receive

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

  • Sonodynamic therapy(SDT)Combination product

    Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT) Sinoporphyrin Sodium (DVDMS) as sonosensitizer, is dissolved in 0.9% sodium solution for following skin test and intravenous injection. 0.01mg/ml DVDMS solution (0.1ml) is prepared for skin test followed by 0.04 mg/ml DVDMS solution intravenous injection(0.2mg/kg).The target atherosclerotic lesions are marked on the corresponding skin with ultrasound guidance and underwent ultrasound exposure after 4 hours incubation. The therapeutic ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the marked skin site for 15 min of each lesion. Ultrasound parameters included intensity of 2.1W/cm2 for each lesion, resonance frequency: 1.0 MHz and duty factor: 30%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in PVAT Density, as assessed by CTA

    The changes in CT attenuation (HU) of perivascular adipose tissue(PVAT) as assessed by CTA.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PWT change, mins

    Changes from baseline peak walking time (PWT) at 1 month is assessed by graded treadmill test (Gardner protocol). The patient continues the test until walking can no longer be tolerated because of claudication symptoms.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

  2. Change in peak flow velocity, as assessed by doppler ultrasound

    The changes of the systolic and diastolic peak flow velocity of the affected segments by doppler ultrasound.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

  3. Incidence of adverse events

    Allergic to sunshine,hepatic or renal dysfunction,thyroid dysfunction

    Measured: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

  4. Plasma adipokines level

    Including adiponectin, vaspin, apelin, leptin, visfatin, resistin and FABP

    Measured: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

  5. Plasma inflammation cytokine level

    Including Interleukin-6(IL-6), IL-10, IL-1β, TGF-α, CRP, EGF, glutathione(GSH) and TGSH.

    Measured: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Sonodynamic therapy(SDT) in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 PVAT Density, as assessed by CTA (time frame: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 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 15 Apr 2021.
