Biomarker study for peripheral arterial disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks for markers in the blood of people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition where leg arteries narrow and reduce blood flow. It aims to better understand the disease and improve future diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 50 years old.
- You must have symptoms of peripheral arterial disease, like leg pain when walking.
- Your ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) must be below 0.8, or your toe-brachial pressure index (TBPI) below 0.7.
- You must not have had prior surgery or a stent for PAD.
- You must not have an active cancer or a rheumatological condition (like rheumatoid arthritis).

This study looks at how blood flows in the legs of people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries) compared to healthy people. It uses CT scans to create 3D models, which may help doctors understand the disease better and could lead to better treatments.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This trial tests a new imaging device that measures oxygen levels in foot tissue to help evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). It could help doctors better assess blood flow problems without invasive tests.
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study collects information about people who had a procedure to improve blood flow in certain leg arteries. It helps researchers understand which treatments work best and what outcomes to expect.
This trial tests a personalized exercise program for people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition that causes leg pain when walking. The goal is to see if a tailored exercise plan can help reduce pain, improve walking distance, and boost quality of life.
