Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05132439RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin to improve walking in leg artery blockage
This Phase 3 study tests whether metformin can help people with intermittent claudication (leg pain when walking) walk farther. It compares how well metformin works on walking ability alongside standard (already recommended) heart and blood-vessel medicines.

Calf Stretching for Better Walking in PAD
This study tests whether a simple daily calf-stretching routine can improve walking ability and blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease. It offers a non-drug, non-surgical approach that you can do at home.

What taking part in a intermittent claudication study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there intermittent claudication clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 3 recruiting intermittent claudication studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a intermittent claudication study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a intermittent claudication trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
