Study summary

A randomized Multicentric open-label controlled trial. The primary objective of the study is to assess the improvement of endothelial function under sulodexide + conventional treatment or conventional treatment alone in patients with Leriche-Fontaine stage II peripheral arterial obstructive disease (systolic ankle brachial index ABI \< 0. 9).

Read the detailed description

A randomized Multicentric open-label controlled trial. The primary objective of the study is to assess the improvement of endothelial function under sulodexide + conventional treatment (antiplatelet therapy; plus ACE inhibitor; plus Statin in patients with cholesterol total level > 1,35 g/l) or conventional treatment alone in patients with Leriche-Fontaine stage II peripheral arterial obstructive disease (systolic ankle brachial index ABI \< 0. 9).

Criteria for efficacy evaluation are the assessement of the improvement of the Digital Thermal monitoring between base line (day 1) and day 180 measured by Vendys® and the measurement of the correlation between the Digital Thermal monitoring and the following parameters at base line, day 90 and day 180:

  • Von Willebrand factor blood level.
  • Clinical assessment as per pain free walking distance and maximum walking distance, as measured by walking machine.
  • Fibrinogen blood level. Also an assessment of the study medication observance (patient's compliance) will be done.

Safety assessment will be done through the collection of the adverse events occurred during the study.

Inclusion criteria

  • Intermittent claudication.
  • A systolic ankle brachial index ABI \< 0. 9

  • Evidence of a personally signed and dated document indicating that the patient (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • withdrawal of
  • participation in another clinical trial with drugs within the last 12 weeks or during the present trial period
  • history of to the investigational/conventional drugs
  • Non claudicating patients and patients with critical ischemia
  • Arteritis of non-atherosclerotic origin

  • Patients receiving other agents that alter the secretion of NO (such as Sildenafil and Tadalafil) less than 2 weeks before inclusion
  • Patients receiving a regimen based on nitrates or molsidomine or Bosentan
  • Patients receiving Anti Vitamin K medication (AVK)
  • Hemorrhagic accident dating less than 15 days before inclusion
  • Heparin treatment or any treatment by low molecular weight heparins during the study for a continuous period of more than 10 days or a cumulative time during the study for more than 21 days.
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.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline endothelial function after 6 months

    Assess the improvement of the Digital Thermal monitoring measured by Vendys®: evaluation of the improvement of Fingertip Digital Thermal Monitoring (DTM) and the detection of a significant change of the FT2 parameters as per Endothelix discriminative values provided by the manufacturer between day 1 and day 180 (±15 days).

    Time frame: between base line (day 1) and day 180

Secondary outcomes

  1. Metric change of the walking distance

    Metric variation of the walking distance: Clinical assessment as per pain free walking distance and maximum walking distance, measured by walking machine. A significant change for more than 30% of the walking distance at the assessment point, to consider it an improvement while analysing.

    Time frame: base line, day 90 and day 180:

  2. Change in Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) level

    Evidence of significant change in VWF level: Serum levels of Von Willebrand Factor will be measured by immunoturbidiometric method. An improvement of the level of VWF blood level by at least 10% in 1st assessment and 30% in last assessment compared to baseline values

    Time frame: base line, day 90 and day 180

  3. Assessment of the study medication observance patient's compliance

    Compliance will be stated in accordance to the results stated by the patients during remote monitoring at days, 30, 80, 170, and the drug accountability performed by doctors at days 90 and 180. It will be measured in % of the total destined dose expressed in number of intakes and days of treatment.

    Time frame: 180 days

  4. Assessment of safety

    Safety will be assessed by checklist questioning during visits and remote interactions, investigators will be responsible for collection and notification to the Sponsor and authorities in case of Serious Adverse Events.

    Time frame: 180 days

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 Dec 2, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
