Study summary

The Pedra Technologies' PedraTM device is a non-invasive, diagnostic device intended to measure foot perfusion by assessing blood flow. The PedraTM device comprises a compact instrument console connected to a sensor that is pasted onto the patient's foot during perfusion assessment. Through skin contact, the device is able to monitor tissue perfusion at depths of up to 7.5mm. The monitor console contains opto-electronic instrumentation including coherent infrared light sources, photo detectors, and display/control electronics. The sensor comprises passive fiber-optic conduits, which transfer infrared light from the console to the patient, and relays scattered light from the patient back to the console. The intensity of light emitted from the sensor is less than 3 mW, well within the safety envelope of Class I laser systems and comparable (or lower than) other commercially available devices such as laser Doppler systems. The sole point of contact with the patient is a layer of medical grade adhesive tape, which is used to paste the flat sensor onto intact skin.

Study population

The 3 distinct subjects groups are divided as such:

  • Critical Limb Ischaemia (CLI) Group with tibial arterial disease: Up to 20, but at least 8 subjects with a Rutherford grade 4 or 5 critically ischemic foot, where the primary intention is to treat at least one occluded tibial vessel or 2 severely stenosed tibial vessels. The treatment of SFA stenoses of less than 70%, as confirmed by duplex or CT, is acceptable in parallel in this group.
  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Group with SFA disease: Up to 20, but at least 8 subjects with a clinical diagnosis of claudication and duplex or CT-confirmed SFA stenoses greater than 70%, with no intention of primarily treating any tibial disease at this encounter.
  • PAD-free Group (Healthy Volunteer Group): Up to 20 subjects with no clinical diagnosis of peripheral vascular disease.

Eligibility criteria

General Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The patient is a male or non-pregnant female ≥ 40 to 90 years of age
  2. The patient is willing to comply with protocol-specified follow-up evaluations

  4. The absence of intact skin at suitable measurement sites on the foot.
  5. The presence of invasive soft tissue infection in the toes spreading into the forefoot.
  6. The presence of physical impediment to the method of measurements being completed (i.e. absent first two toes, extensive ulceration, excessive oedema, pressure dressings or heavy bandaging, etc.)
  7. The presence of a non-salvageable foot or a Rutherford 6 wound.
  8. The presence of other conditions, which in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the subject safety or comfort.
  9. The presence of other conditions, which in the opinion of the Investigator, may compromise the accuracy of the data obtained.
  10. The patient is a vulnerable or protected adult, or is unable to provide consent.
  11. The patient is unable to comply with the measurement protocol.
  12. Pregnant subjects
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Interventions

  • DevicePedra Tissue Perfusion Monitor

    This study is a prospective single-centre, device observational study designed to enroll up to 60 evaluable subjects at 1 investigational site in the United Kingdom. Eligible subjects, who meet the requirements for one of the 3 distinct subject groups: (1) Critical Limb Ischaemia group, (2) Peripheral artery disease with superficial femoral arterial (SFA) or popliteal artery disease and (3) PAD-free group. Subjects who meet study eligibility criteria will be enrolled consecutively until the total number of subjects is enrolled per each group as outlined in the protocol. All subjects at the investigational site will be enrolled in the presence of a member of the Sponsor or selected designee in order to assist with the device operation and to verify that all protocol assessments are completed appropriately at baseline.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Baseline safety endpoint: The absence of immediately observable skin reaction (rash; local oedema, blistering of the skin) in ≥ 90% of subjects after removal of the Pedra sensors.

    This observation assessment is completed by the physician post removal of the adhesive pads. It is either a "yes" or a "no" in observing if there is a skin reaction to the adhesive pads when they are removed from the skin and also documentation of what type of reaction (rash; local oedema, blistering of the skin).

    Time frame: Baseline visit: 30-60 minutes after pad removal

  2. During procedure safety endpoint: The absence of immediately observable skin reaction (rash; local oedema, blistering of the skin) in ≥ 90% of subjects after removal of the Pedra sensors.

    This observation assessment is completed by the physician post removal of the adhesive pads. It is either a "yes" or a "no" in observing if there is a skin reaction to the adhesive pads when they are removed from the skin and also documentation of what type of reaction (rash; local oedema, blistering of the skin).

    Time frame: During procedure visit: 30-60 minutes after pad removal

  3. 36-hrs post-procedure/ discharge visit safety endpoint: The absence of immediately observable skin reaction (rash; local oedema, blistering of the skin) in ≥ 90% of subjects after removal of the Pedra sensors.

    This observation assessment is completed by the physician post removal of the adhesive pads. It is either a "yes" or a "no" in observing if there is a skin reaction to the adhesive pads when they are removed from the skin and also documentation of what type of reaction (rash; local oedema, blistering of the skin).

    Time frame: 36-hrs post-procedure/ discharge visit: 30-60 minutes after pad removal

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from May 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2019, 19 months.

Of 58 industry-sponsored observational studies under Peripheral Arterial Disease, half reached primary completion within 31 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 39. This study's 19 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 196 studies reached it within 36 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 73.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
