Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Population will be patients recruited from the University of Utah and Salt Lake City Veteran Affairs Medical Center. The intended gender distribution of the subjects will be approximately equal. There will be no gender based enrollment restrictions. The age range of the subjects is 18-95. No children will be recruited, as peripheral arterial disease is a disease of adulthood, with increased prevalence in the elderly population. There are no enrollment restrictions based upon race or ethnic origin. Patients with stents may be included.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with known or suspected periphery arterial disease will be recruited.
  • In the initial sequence optimization stage, healthy volunteers will also be recruited for magnetic resonance angiography

Who cannot join

  • Patients with moderate to end stage renal disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73m2). These patients will not be recruited as they will be unlikely to undergo routine contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography due to the risk of developing Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis.
  • Pregnant patients. Gadolinium chelates are a FDA Category C drug, and therefore should be avoided in pregnancy.
  • Claustrophobic healthy volunteers or any subject who is unable to lie flat for 60 minutes.
  • Glomerular filtration rate < 60ml/min/1.72m2 and coexisting history of pro inflammatory conditions such as recent surgery, sepsis or major infection, arterial or venous thrombosis.
  • Any history of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis
  • Unable/ unwilling to give informed consent

  • Medical contra-indications to magnetic resonance imaging: e.g. pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, cochlear implants, aneurysm clips, and prior/ current metal workers. Patients will be screened with a safety questionnaire.
  • Clinically unstable patients
  • Patients with newly placed stents will be excluded until 8 weeks post placement

About this study

To systematically develop, test, and refine peripheral vascular electrocardiography-gated fast spin echo magnetic resonance imaging for the accurate diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease without gadolinium contrast.

To test prospectively the accuracy of fast spin echo in peripheral arterial disease patients, compared with bolus-chase and time-resolved gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance angiography. Additionally, as a substudy of this project, we will compare our fast spin echo approach with alternative non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging methods such as time-of-flight and steady-state gradient echo imaging.

The overarching goals of our research are to develop and validate a peripheral magnetic resonance imaging technique that accurately depicts anatomy and disease without exposing patients to exogenous contrast material and its associated risks.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Magnetic Resonance AngiographyOther

    Subjects who agree to participate in the study and provide written informed consent will undergo three station (abdomen/pelvis, thighs, and calves/feet) contrast and non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography of the lower extremities. Study visits may be split into two imaging sessions to decrease the time the participant is in the scanner if necessary. For image quality review, several participant may undergo only abdomen/pelvis imaging.

    Performance of the non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography requires placement of magnetic resonance imaging compatible electrocardiography leads on the patient's chest, so that the heart rate can be monitored and images can be obtained timed to each individual patient's heart beat. Electrocardiography monitoring/gating is performed routinely, and is not investigational.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Image Analysis

    Image analysis of the non-contrast and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography images from each patient will be performed by experienced readers. Each regional endpoints will be provided by each of the independent readers using non-contrast and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography techniques. Each regional endpoint also will be provided by a consensus of the readers using all of the data from the magnetic resonance angiography techniques. Mixed model regression will be used to compare imaging methods in terms of overall image quality and reader confidence, with each endpoint analyzed separately and represented for each extremity as an average over readers.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Disease and Intermittent Claudication, run by University of Utah at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Image Analysis (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2023.
