Walking and a vitamin B3 supplement for peripheral artery disease
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a vitamin B3 supplement (nicotinamide riboside) combined with a walking program to see if it helps improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (blocked leg arteries). If you qualify, you may get the supplement or a placebo along with supervised exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years or older.
- You must have peripheral artery disease (PAD), meaning narrowed leg arteries, confirmed by specific tests.
- You must be able to walk without a walker or wheelchair – using a cane is okay.
- You cannot have a current foot ulcer on the bottom of your foot.
- You cannot have had a leg amputation.
- You must be able to speak English and not be in another clinical trial in the past 3 months unless allowed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether beetroot juice, which contains natural nitrates that help blood vessels relax, combined with exercise, can improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You might be able to join if you have PAD, can walk without a walker, and are willing to avoid beet products for a while.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program is as effective as supervised exercise for improving walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and you may be asked to drink beetroot juice as part of the study.
This trial tests whether a drug called diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) can improve blood flow and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It compares people with PAD to healthy volunteers of the same age.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program or a special beetroot drink can help people walk better after having a procedure to improve blood flow in their legs. It aims to find ways to boost mobility and quality of life.
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve how well people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can function and walk. It’s looking at circulation-related measurements in the legs and how you do on walking tests.
This Phase 3 study tests whether cocoa extract (cocoa flavanols) can improve walking ability and circulation in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help people who have PAD-related walking limits and can safely avoid competing cocoa sources and caffeine.
