New drug etrinabdione tested for leg artery disease
NCT ID NCT06774040
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This Phase IIa trial tests the safety and tolerability of a new drug called etrinabdione in 30 adults with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Participants take the drug twice daily for 12 months, starting with a low dose and possibly moving to a higher dose if safe. Researchers will also check if the drug improves blood flow and walking ability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- etrinabdione
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for peripheral arterial disease that improves blood flow and walking ability.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small Phase IIa trial with only 30 participants. It primarily tests safety, not effectiveness, and the higher dose may be stopped if safety concerns arise.
