Trial summary

Sortilin is a 95-kDa protein related to circulating cholesterol. It is found inside different cell types and circulating in blood and it has been associated with the risk of atherosclerosis development and cardiovascular diseases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Utility of Sortilin as a Biomarker of Restenosis After Lower Extremity Endovascular Revascularization in a Cohort of Diabetic Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease and Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia

Sortilin is a 95-kDa protein related to circulating cholesterol. It is found inside different cell types and circulating in blood and it has been associated with the risk of atherosclerosis development and cardiovascular diseases.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the potential use of circulating sortilin as a biomarker of vascular adverse outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requiring a procedure of endovascular revascularization.

Read more

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • association between sortilin serum levels and risk of restenosis after lower extremity revascularization.
  • association between sortilin serum levels and acute limb ischemia, major vascular amputations, and limb-threatening ischemia needing for urgent revascularization after lower extremity revascularization.

Patients with PAD and CLTI requiring lower extremity endovascular revascularization will undergo blood sampling for the dosage of circulating sortilin before the endovascular procedure.

Incidence of restenosis and acute limb ischemia, major vascular amputations, and limb-threatening ischemia needing for urgent revascularization will be collected in a 12-months follow-up and will be associated with sortilin serum levels at baseline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of restenosis

    To evaluate the association between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and restenosis during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

  2. Correlation between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of acute limb ischemia

    To evaluate the association between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and acute limb ischemia during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

  3. Correlation between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of amputations

    To evaluate the association between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and amputations during the follow-up period.

    Measured: 12-months follow-up

  4. Correlation between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and chronic limb-threatening ischemia needing for urgent revascularization

    To evaluate the association between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and limb-threatening ischemia needing for urgent revascularization 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 10 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 17 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?

Contact Andrea Flex, MD, PhD (+39 06 3015 4293, andrea.flex@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between sortilin serum levels before endovascular revascularization and incidence of restenosis (time frame: 12-months follow-up). The study lists 4 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 17 Mar 2023.
