About this study

Official title: The Use of Hemodynamic Occlusive and Vascular Response (HOVR) Technology for the Measurement of Absorption of Light in Order to Derive Changes of Perfusion and Oxygen Levels in the Foot.

Feasibility, usability and safety clinical study that is aimed at testing of the non-invasive VOTIS PedCheck system for measurement of changes in absorption of light in order to derive changes in perfusion and oxygen levels in the foot.

Read the detailed description

Introduction:

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) affects 8-12 million people in the United States, and approximately 230 million worldwide. When linked with diabetes, PAD results in over 71,000 amputations annually.

Patients with PAD have decreased lower extremity arterial perfusion which is commonly referred to as "poor circulation." In most cases of PAD, atherosclerotic plaques narrow the arterial flow lumen which restricts blood flow to the distal extremity. This condition is characterized by progressive vessel obstructions, associated with cardiovascular (CV) events, including myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, limb ischemia, and CV death. Although PAD is a prevalent condition, it is still considered as an underdiagnosed manifestation of atherosclerosis. PAD is one of the most common vascular complications of diabetes, and can cause foot ischemia which is associated with non healing wounds, gangrene and amputations. At present there is no gold standard or test/device to identify, evaluate, and monitor the circulatory health of the foot in a reliable and precise way. In addition, calcification of blood vessels in patients with diabetes complicates the evaluation of perfusion in the foot. Since diabetes has reached epidemic proportions (60M people affected in Europe), there is an urgent need for additional measurement tools for assistance for the evaluation of PAD complications.

The current study is aimed at feasibility, usability and safety testing of the non-invasive VOTIS PedCheck system as an assessment tool of PAD. The protocol allows for 30 PAD patients and 30 self assessed healthy controls.

Objectives:

  • To assess the safety of the PedCheck device using HOVR technology
  • To calibrate the measurement of changes in absorption of light in order to derive relative perfusion and oxygen levels in the foot.
  • To compare between PAD and non-PAD populations using HOVR.

Secondary objective:

  • To collect data regarding the usability of the PedCheck device.

Description of investigational product:

Votis PedCheck portable device comprises patches affixed to the foot with encased laser diodes and photodetector sensors that automatically measure absorption of the light. Via lightweight leads, the patches link to a central control and display device. In addition an inflatable blood pressure cuff is placed above the knee. The control device sets the inflation and deflation of the cuff according to the protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Severe adverse device effects or serious adverse events that are recorded using standard adverse event report forms

    Observation of adverse skin changes or tissue damage or reports of discomfort.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

  2. PedCheck parameters that demonstrate correlation between HOVR and Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and Toe Brachial Index (TBI).

    HOVR score 0-100. 0-40 being no PAD, 40-100 being increasingly severe PAD.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of usability based on collected data using standard convenience scoring questionnaires.

    Usability will be evaluated by standard usability patient and operator questionnaires for scoring convenience. Convenience will be rated by numerical rating scale for scoring convenience 0-5 where 0 represents very hard and 5 very easy.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

  2. Evaluation of usability based on collected data using standard pain scoring questionnaires.

    Usability will be evaluated by Numerical rating scale for scoring pain. 0-10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 the most severe.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Disease and Diabetes Mellitus, run by Votis Subdermal Imaging Technologies LTD at 1 site in Israel.

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 3 inclusion and 14 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 27 Jun 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 Israel. 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?

Severe adverse device effects or serious adverse events that are recorded using standard adverse event report forms (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.). The study lists 2 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 27 Jun 2023.
