Study Description

Brief Summary

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a highly debilitating disease that affects 202 million people around the world and about 7 million people in France. Morbi-mortality from cardiovascular events is increased in this population. Intermittent claudication is the most common clinical feature of PAD.

Primary therapeutic approach is medical treatment and advice to walk. Sildenafil, a PDEi type 5, is well tolerated, largely used in impotence and has interesting clinical delay and duration of action in the concept of a potential use in claudication.

For patients agreeing and signing informed consent, randomisation of treatment (placebo/sildenafil) will be done. Treatment will be proposed in addition to usual treatment. The experimental drug will be delivered for a 1 month treatment. First follow up visit at month one will focus on tolerance, compliance and eventual side effects. If no major side effect is found the study drug will then be delivered for an additional 2 months. Patients will be evaluated at month 3 (second follow-up visit) for persistent or non-persistent indication for revascularisation and addressed for revascularization if needed. In parallel focus on tolerance, compliance and eventual side effects will be done. If no major side effect is found, the study drug will be delivered for an additional 3 months treatment. Third and fourth follow-up visit are scheduled at month 6 (end of treatment) and month 9 (3 months after the end of experimental drugs).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Sildenafil

Single Sildenafil oral morning intake (100mg/day) per day for a total duration of 6 months (Sildenafil 100 mg oral morning dose)

Drug: Sildenafil 100 mg oral morning dose
Measurement of maximal walking distance on a constant load treadmill test, SF-36 questionnaire, and Edimburg questionnaire at inclusion, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month. Events occurence questionnaires, Tolerance and adverse events questionnaire, Welch questionnaire and walk recommendation at inclusion, 7 days, 14 days, 1-2-3-4-5-6 and 9 months
Other Names:
  • Experimental: Sildenafil
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo

    Single Placebo oral morning intake per day for a total duration of 6 months (Placebo oral morning dose)

    Drug: Placebo oral morning dose
    Measurement of maximal walking distance on a constant load treadmill test, SF-36 questionnaire, and Edimburg questionnaire at inclusion, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month. Events occurence questionnaires, Tolerance and adverse events questionnaire, Welch questionnaire and walk recommendation at inclusion, 7 days, 14 days, 1-2-3-4-5-6 and 9 months
    Other Names:
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Improvement of Event free survival rate [6 months after the treatment begining]

      Event free survival is defined as the time between inclusion date and the date of event occurrence. If no event is observed at the follow-up period, event free survival is defined as the delay of follow-up
