Trial summary

Despite the best medical management, many patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who undergo lower extremity endovascular revascularization experience adverse cardiovascular outcomes and postoperative complications that may increase the risk of acute limb ischemia or amputation.

About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Endovascular Revascularization for Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia (CLTI).

Despite the best medical management, many patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who undergo lower extremity endovascular revascularization experience adverse cardiovascular outcomes and postoperative complications that may increase the risk of acute limb ischemia or amputation. There are no clear molecular associations that could explain the differences in outcomes after endovascular therapy in patients with PAD. The variable outcomes following endovascular therapy may depend, at least in part, on the profile of cytokines involved in inflammatory and atherosclerotic processes.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the potential use of circulating IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 levels as biomarkers of major adverse limb events (MALE) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in diabetic patients with PAD and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requiring a procedure of endovascular revascularization.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • association between serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 at baseline and major adverse limb events (MALE) after lower extremity revascularization.
  • association between serum levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 at baseline and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after lower extremity revascularization.

Diabetic patients with CLTI requiring lower extremity endovascular revascularization will undergo blood sampling for the dosage of circulating IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 before the endovascular procedure.

Incidence of MALE and MACE will be collected in a 12-months follow-up and will be associated with IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association between incidence of MALE and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels

    To evaluate the association between IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of MALE during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Association between incidence of myocardial infarction and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels

    To evaluate the association between IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of myocardial infarction during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

  2. Association between incidence of stroke and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels

    To evaluate the association between IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of stroke during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

  3. Association between incidence of cardiovascular death and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels

    To evaluate the association between IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of cardiovascular death during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Artery Disease, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 7 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Association between incidence of MALE and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, HMGB-1, osteoprotegerin, sortilin and omentin-1 serum levels (time frame: 12-months follow-up). 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 7 Mar 2023.
