What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week telehealth-supervised exercise program can improve walking ability and quality of life in veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Participants exercise three times a week at a location of their choice. The study measures walking distance, pain onset, balance, and overall well-being at the 3-month mark.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
telehealth-facilitated supervised exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a convenient, home-based exercise option to help veterans with PAD walk farther and feel better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 73 participants, so results may not apply to all PAD patients. The program requires commitment to 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of PAD, defined as a history of an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.90, prior revascularization of a lower limb for symptomatic disease more than 30 days prior to presentation, or ABI \>0.90 with evidence of PAD based on noninvasive vascular laboratory testing or angiography * \[and presence of claudication, defined as fatigue, discomfort, cramping or pain of vascular origin in the muscles of the lower extremities that is consistently induced by exercise and consistently relieved by rest within 10 minutes.\] * In addition, participants will require access to cellular signal at place of residence and/or exercise location Exclusion Criteria: * Justification for exclusion criteria centers on inability to safely participate in the remote intervention. Specific exclusion criteria includes the following: * major lower extremity amputation * critical limb ischemia * inability to ambulate without a walker or wheelchair * significant visual or hearing impairment * individuals whose function is limited by severe conditions such as severe ischemic heart disease or \> Class II NYHA heart failure * individuals capable of ambulating at a level comparable to the amount of exercise to be prescribed at baseline * individuals currently enrolled in another exercise trial or cardiac rehab program * individuals with uncontrolled psychiatric illness or dementia * categorically vulnerable * pregnant women, prisoners, children, or persons who lack decision-making capacity
