Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Endovascular interventions, such as balloon angioplasty and stenting, are commonly used for PAD due to their proven safety and effectiveness. However, traditional treatments for chronic non-healing wounds are often insufficient. Advances in cell biotechnology, particularly fibroblast therapy, show promise for enhancing wound healing, as fibroblasts play a crucial role in tissue repair and inflammation.

This study aims to develop, assess, and evaluate the safety of a combined treatment approach that incorporates fibroblast therapy with existing methods for managing chronic non-healing wounds in PAD patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Chronic obliterative diseases of the lower extremity arteries, or peripheral artery disease (PAD), result from systemic atherosclerosis and affect about 202 million adults globally. This condition, marked by progressive arterial stenosis or occlusion, is associated with significant risk factors such as diabetes, smoking, and hypertension. PAD can lead to symptoms ranging from pain and fatigue to severe complications like non-healing chronic wounds. These wounds impose a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems and significantly impact patients' quality of life.

In some countries, over 2.5 million people suffer from chronic non-healing ulcers, with high rates of recurrence and poor healing outcomes. Managing these wounds is costly, with significant indirect costs due to loss of productivity. Post-amputation survival rates are low, and traditional treatments often fail to fully address the issue.

Endovascular interventions, such as balloon angioplasty and stenting, are preferred for PAD due to their safety and effectiveness. However, current methods for treating chronic non-healing wounds remain insufficient. Recent advancements in cell biotechnology, particularly fibroblast therapy, show promise for improving wound healing. Fibroblasts play a key role in tissue repair and inflammation.

There is a need for more research on the effectiveness of combining fibroblast therapy with existing treatments for chronic non-healing wounds in PAD patients. Addressing this gap could lead to better treatment outcomes and improved quality of life for affected individuals.

The aim of this study is to develop, assess the effectiveness, and evaluate the safety of a combined treatment method for managing chronic non-healing wounds in patients with chronic obliterative disease of the lower extremity arteries.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This study will be a randomized controlled trial, adhering to the CONSORT checklist. Randomization will be conducted using the RandStuff online random number generator, where the number on the stationary card will correspond to the patient's number.

The study will include 116 participants with long-term non-healing wounds from chronic obliterating disease of the lower extremities across three cities in Kazakhstan.

Groups:

* Main: 58
* Control: 58
* Total: 116
* Main Group: Combined treatment (balloon angioplasty or stenting + fibroblast transplantation).
* Control Group: Endovascular interventions + traditional debridement. Procedures will include balloon angioplasty or stenting, followed by fibroblast transplantation.

combined treatment

Combined treatment (balloon angioplasty or stenting + fibroblast transplantation).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

balloon angioplasty and stenting of lower extremity vessels + fibroblasts

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

A balloon or a stent of the required size (according to the intrinsic diameter of the affected vessel) is delivered to the affected area, sequential balloon dilatation with exposure of up to 5 minutes or stenting of the vessel is performed. After completion, control angiography is performed with evaluation of the result. Instruments, introdjuncer are removed. Manual compression haemostasis (up to 20 minutes over the puncture site) followed by aseptic pressure dressing on the puncture site for 12 hours with bed rest. After surgery, fibroblasts will be applied to the wound for 24 hours.

Endovascular treatment

Endovascular interventions + traditional debridement.
