Study drug peptides for blocked leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how well a drug called Slavinorm® (regulatory polypeptides) works and is safe for adults with blocked arteries in the legs due to atherosclerosis. You might be considered if you have confirmed leg artery blockage and can safely do a treadmill walking test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult age 18 or older
- Have leg artery disease from atherosclerosis, confirmed by ultrasound or angiography
- Be able to complete the screening treadmill test by walking at least 2 mph (3.2 km/h) for at least 2 minutes
- Not have a history of severe allergy (anaphylaxis) to the drug or its ingredients, including animal proteins
- Not have serious heart rhythm/heart-lung limits that make treadmill testing unsafe (trial-related ECG and other contraindications)
- Not have major recent heart problems (like a heart attack/chest pain episode within the last 6 months), severe heart failure, or severe kidney/liver disease

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a new drug-coated stent for blocked arteries in the thigh or behind the knee. It may help people with moderate to severe leg pain or wounds by improving blood flow without needing surgery.
This study tests whether a special “drug-eluting” stent placed in a leg artery works safely and improves blood flow for people with peripheral artery disease. It may help reduce re-narrowing and improve walking, depending on your blockage details and overall health.
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 trial looks at whether using a scraping device (atherectomy) followed by a drug-coated balloon works better for long blockages in the thigh-to-knee artery. It may help improve blood flow symptoms and keep the artery from re-narrowing, but you must meet specific artery and health criteria.
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 if a supervised exercise program can improve walking ability in people with leg pain caused by blocked arteries (claudication). You may qualify if you have calf pain after walking short distances that goes away with rest.
