Clinical Trials

Drug, biologic and supplement trials (treatment or prevention) from ClinicalTrials.gov whose main condition is Peripheral Artery Disease: recruiting, active or completed, most recently updated first. Data retrieved 2026-10-28.

NCT07318610 Phase: 3 Started: 2026-07-10

This study is researching 2 different experimental drugs called REGN7508 and REGN9933. The study is focused on people who have Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), which means that the blood vessels in their arms and legs have become too narrow. People with PAD have a higher risk of getting blood clots ...

NCT06686121 Phase: 3 Started: 2025-08-04

Lower extremity revascularization combined with supervised exercise significantly improves walking performance compared to revascularization alone in people who have PAD without limb threatening ischemia. However, supervised exercise is inaccessible or burdensome for most PAD patients. Investigators...

NCT03054519 Phase: 3 Started: 2017-05-23

The PERMET trial will determine whether metformin daily for six months improves six-minute walk performance in individuals with peripheral artery disease compared to placebo.

NCT03304821 Phase: 2 Started: 2017-12-19

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a disease in which plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the head, organs, and limbs. PAD usually occurs in the arteries in the legs, but can affect any arteries. Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries which limits the flow of oxygen-ri...

NCT06319339 Phase: Early 1 Started: 2024-11-14

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with elevated oxidative stress, and oxidative stress has been implicated as the cause of reduced endothelial reactivity in individuals with PAD. Endothelial function is important because the endothelium contributes to the dilation of arteries during exer...

NCT04377126 Phase: 2 Started: 2020-07-08

GIFT is a pilot, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial that will examine the effects of unacylated ghrelin on walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) compared to placebo. Preliminary evidence suggests that unacylated ghrelin may improve blood flow to the extremities and pr...

NCT04794530 Phase: 3 Started: 2021-11-19

Among people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) age 55 and older, the investigators will test the hypothesis that PAD participants randomized to cocoa flavanols will have greater improvement or less decline in six-minute walk distance at six-month follow-up, compared to those randomized to placebo...

NCT04433572 Phase: 3 Started: 2025-07-30

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effect of Temsirolimus Perivascular Injection 0.1 mg/mL on the incidence of ischemia-driven major amputation, clinically driven target lesion revascularization, and clinically relevant target lesion occlusion after rev...

NCT03686306 Phase: 3 Started: 2021-11-24

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a highly debilitating disease that affects 202 million people around the world and about 7 million people in France. Morbi-mortality from cardiovascular events is increased in this population. Intermittent claudication is defined as a discomfort and/or pain in th...

NCT06231966 Phase: N/A Started: 2024-04-22

Patients with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease often have combined coronary artery disease or cerebral artery disease and show high rates of cardiovascular mortality and morbidities. Therefore, secondary prevention for these patients is of great clinical importance. Currently, Korean, US, a...

NCT02887859 Phase: 2 Started: 2016-12-20

This study will evaluate how well Humacyte's Human Acellular Vessel (HAV) works when surgically implanted into a leg to improve blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study will also evaluate how safe it is to use the HAV in this manner.

NCT03743636 Phase: 3 Started: 2018-10-01

NICE is a randomized clinical trial that will examine the effects of nicotinamide riboside (NR) both with and without resveratrol to test whether, among people with PAD, NR significantly improves walking performance more than placebo and whether NR combined with resveratrol significantly improves wa...

NCT02863926 Phase: 1 Started: 2017-01-06

Patients scheduled for major extremity lower amputation to receive bone marrow cells (cBMA) injected IM in the leg proximal to the amputation in the index limb to prevent ischemic wound complications after surgery.

NCT03064126 Phase: 3 Started: 2017-03-02

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Ranger™ Paclitaxel Coated Balloon for treating lesions located in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries (SFA/PPA). Long Balloon substudy: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Boston Scientific Corporation (BSC) Ranger™ Pacl...

NCT04853719 Phase: 4 Started: 2021-04-20

This trial is evaluating if rivaroxaban 2.5 mg BID and aspirin 100 mg OD compared to aspirin alone improves on intermittent claudication distance in PAD patients.


Agents Found By Disease-Level Search

Searched directly from “Peripheral Artery Disease” via ClinicalTrials.gov interventions and Open Targets' disease→drug data — independent of the 7-gene target panel above. This surfaces agents whose mechanism doesn't route through a curated gene (combination therapies, standard-of-care drugs, targets outside the panel).
