Sonodynamic Therapy in the Treatment of Perivascular Adipose Tissue on Patients With PAD and Claudication

April 13, 2021 updated by: First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in reducing the inflammation of perivascular adipose tissue and increasing peak walking time (PWT) among peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients with symptom of intermittent claudication.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Atherosclerotic lower extremity PAD affects the living quality of more than 20 million people in the world. PAD is associated with a major decline in functional status and claudication is the most evident symptom. Current claudication therapies reveal significant limitations. Pharmacotherapy and exercise are recommended in 2016 AHA/ACC Guideline on the management of lower extremity PAD patients with claudication. However, they may not achieve an ideal clinical therapeutic effect. Furthermore, endovascular procedure may not be feasible, durable or cost-effective, especially in femoropopliteal arteries.

The aim of this trial is to verify the hypothesis that SDT can reduce the inflammation of PVAT and improve PWT among PAD patients with symptom of intermittent claudication.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

  • Phase 1

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Sonodynamic therapy(SDT)
Sonodynamic therapy(SDT) treatment is the combination of sonosensitizer administration and target atherosclerotic lesions ultrasound exposure.
Combination product: Sonodynamic therapy(SDT)
Sonodynamic Therapy (SDT) Sinoporphyrin Sodium (DVDMS) as sonosensitizer, is dissolved in 0.9% sodium solution for following skin test and intravenous injection. 0.01mg/ml DVDMS solution (0.1ml) is prepared for skin test followed by 0.04 mg/ml DVDMS solution intravenous injection(0.2mg/kg).The target atherosclerotic lesions are marked on the corresponding skin with ultrasound guidance and underwent ultrasound exposure after 4 hours incubation. The therapeutic ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the marked skin site for 15 min of each lesion. Ultrasound parameters included intensity of 2.1W/cm2 for each lesion, resonance frequency: 1.0 MHz and duty factor: 30%.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in PVAT Density, as assessed by CTA
Time Frame: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months
The changes in CT attenuation (HU) of perivascular adipose tissue(PVAT) as assessed by CTA.
Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in peak flow velocity, as assessed by doppler ultrasound
Time Frame: Measured at Baseline, 1, 3 months
The changes of the systolic and diastolic peak flow velocity of the affected segments by doppler ultrasound.
