Description
Abstract Text
This Contract is a part of a multicenter pilot study of peripheral
arterial disease. The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the
feasibility of a multifactorial therapeutic approach in patients with
peripheral arterial disease. The full-scale trial, if performed, is
intended to assess the effect of these interventions in reducing
cardiovascular mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
The primary objectives of the study are to: 1) determine the exact type
and dosage of drug combination which would result in an increase in the
HDL-C level in the treatment group and equivalent reductions in LDL-C
level in the treatment and comparison groups: 2) determine if
antioxidants in clinically appropriate doses alter plasma lipid
peroxidase and oxidized LDL levels in patients with PAD; 3) determine the
drug interactions and adverse effects of these various interventions: in
particular, the effects of lipid-modifying and antioxidant drugs on
coagulation parameters in patients on warfarin; 4) determine the
feasibility of identifying, recruiting and following patients with PAD
from a variety of medical clinics (i.e., stop smoking clinics, diabetic
clinics, peripheral vascular clinics). The study population shall
consist of 600 patients with PAD or approximately 100 participants in
each of six Clinical Centers. This contract action is for the
Coordinating Center effort.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
