Imaging plaque activity in peripheral artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies plaque activity in leg arteries using a new imaging method to understand artery disease better. It may help people with peripheral artery disease get more targeted treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have peripheral artery disease (PAD) with symptoms like leg pain when walking, rest pain, or a leg wound
- You have had a blocked leg artery (at least 50% narrowed) or low ankle blood pressure
- You either have diabetes, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or plaque in more than one artery area
- You have not had a leg artery procedure in the last 6 weeks
- You are not allergic to colchicine or iodine dye

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses a special “radiotracer” scan to look at how well blood flows through the arteries in the legs. It may help researchers better understand circulation problems from peripheral artery disease.
This study tests a special dye that makes inflamed areas in artery plaques glow during surgery. It may help doctors see which plaques are dangerous and guide treatment.
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 Phase 1 study tests whether a special PET scan can detect a specific inflammation signal (CCR2) in atherosclerosis—fatty plaque buildup in blood vessels. It may help future doctors better see which plaques are more inflamed and potentially more dangerous.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look for inflammation in the artery walls of the heart. It will help doctors understand how inflammation relates to coronary artery disease and recent heart attacks.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at blood flow in the legs before and after you have a procedure to open blocked arteries. The goal is to see if this imaging can help doctors plan your treatment and improve your results.
