Carnosine study for people with blocked leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether L-carnosine can improve symptoms or circulation in people with peripheral arterial disease (blocked arteries in the legs). You may be able to join if you’re in the right age range and have specific test results showing moderate artery blockage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have an ABI test number between 0.4 and 0.6 (a measure of leg blood flow)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a natural supplement called carnosine can improve walking distance and blood flow in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD is a narrowing of the leg arteries that can cause pain when walking.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with leg pain when walking caused by narrowed leg arteries. The goal is to see if exercise can improve walking ability and quality of life.
This study tests a new type of exercise that uses a blood-flow restriction cuff to see if it helps people with leg pain from blocked arteries. If you have stable claudication (leg pain when walking) and have been referred to cardiac rehab, you may qualify.
This trial tests a special balloon that releases medication to help keep leg arteries open. It's for people with narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg, either above or below the knee.
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
This trial tests whether a CT scan of your body composition can predict how well you respond to a supervised exercise program for peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help doctors personalize exercise plans for people with leg pain while walking.
