PAD biomarker study for people with leg symptoms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) to help find new biomarkers (clues in the blood) that can better detect or track the disease. It's a simple blood test and health check that could lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatment for PAD.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 50 years old
- You have symptoms of peripheral artery disease (like leg pain when walking that goes away with rest)
- Your ABPI test (ankle-brachial index) is less than 0.8, or your toe pressure test (TBPI) is less than 0.7
- You do not have a current cancer diagnosis
- You do not have a rheumatological condition (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)
- You have never had surgery or a procedure to treat blocked leg arteries for PAD

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study uses a noninvasive light scanner to measure oxygen levels in leg tissues. It may help detect blocked leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) more easily.
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.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
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 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.
