Trial Outcomes & Findings for Metformin, Muscle Energetics, and Vascular Function in Older Adults With Peripheral Artery Disease (NCT NCT01901224)

NCT ID: NCT01901224

Last Updated: 2018-09-24

Results Overview

PCr recovery time, measured in seconds, is a measure of skeletal muscle metabolic function. PCr is a transport molecule and reservoir of high-energy phosphate bonds, which is important for cellular energetics. Phosphocreatine regeneration depends upon the skeletal muscle mitochondrial cells capacity for oxidative phosphorylation. We will measure PCr recovery time at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment with metformin or placebo as an in vivo measure of mitochondrial function. Higher Pcr relative to P(i) during recovery is better and shorter recovery times are better.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 12 weeks

Population: Study was not funded and was terminated prematurely. Randomization blind was never broken, and data was not collected on the outcome measures.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, 12 weeks

Population: Study was not funded and was terminated prematurely. Randomization blind was never broken, and data was not collected on the outcome measures.

Flow mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery is a measure of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Higher flow-mediated dilation (FMD), measured as the diameter of the brachial artery in millimeters, and reported as percent change after a flow stimulus compered to basal measurement, is better, indicative of better endothelial function.

Maximal treadmill walking time is measured in minutes or seconds. Higher values indicate a better outcome.

The 6-min walk test (6 MWT) is a submaximal exercise test that entails measurement of distance walked over a span of 6 minutes.The 6 MWT is measured in meters, and higher values indicate better outcomes.
