Summary

This study is gathering information from 50 Canadians with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) who are treated in heart clinics and can still walk. Researchers want to measure inflammation levels and physical abilities to better understand the condition. The results will help doctors identify PAD earlier and design future treatments that target inflammation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \>/= 19 years of age * Ability to provide informed consent before any trial-related activities * Symptomatic PAD with intermittent claudication corresponding to Fontaine stage IIa meeting all of the following: 1. Stable symptoms of PAD with intermittent claudication in Fontaine stage IIa (able to walk without stopping more than 200 m/656 feet/2 blocks) for at least 90 days prior to the day of screening based on patient interview. 2. Ankle-brachial-index (ABI) equal to or below 0.90 (the leg with lowest index is chosen in case of bilateral disease) or ≥ 50% stenosis in peripheral artery (excluding carotid) documented by X-ray angiography, MR angiography, CT angiography or Doppler ultrasound, or a history of lower extremity revascularization Exclusion Criteria: * Current or previous treatment with any immunomodulating agent within 90 days prior to the day of screening. * Walking ability limited by conditions other than PAD * Planned orthopaedic surgery in the legs, or other major surgery known on the day of screening (surgery affecting walking ability). * Vascular revascularisation procedure for PAD of any kind 180 days prior to the day of screening. * Planned arterial revascularisation known on the day of screening. * Myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalisation for unstable angina pectoris or transient ischemic attack within 180 days prior to the day of screening. * Heart failure presently classified as being in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV. * Signs/symptoms of critical limb ischemia (leg gangrene, rest pain, ischemic wounds, etc)
