Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in 6-minute walk distance | Baseline, Month 6 | Participants walk up and down a 100-foot hallway for 6 minutes to cover the maximum distance possible. The distance, measured in meters, completed after 6 minutes will be recorded. The primary outcome examines walking distance following two consecutive 3-monthly administrations of the study treatments. |
| Secondary | Change in Peak Walking Time (PWT) | Baseline, Month 6 | Graded treadmill exercise testing is performed using the Gardner protocol where the treadmill speed is kept at 2 mph and the grade starts at 0 and inclines by 2% every two minutes. The peak walking time (PWT) is the time (measured in seconds) until exercise is terminated because of severe claudication (pain in legs). Exercise testing is performed twice and longest time is used as the PWT for that study visit. |
| Secondary | Change in Peak Walking Time (PWT) From First Through Second Treatment | Month 3, Month 6 | To investigate whether there is further improvement with GM-CSF administered twice compared to a single administration, PWT at Month 6 compared to Month 3 is examined. Graded treadmill exercise testing is performed using the Gardner protocol where the treadmill speed is kept at 2 mph and the grade starts at 0 and inclines by 2% every two minutes. The peak walking time (PWT) is the time (in seconds) until exercise is terminated because of severe claudication (pain in legs). Exercise testing is performed twice and longest time is used as the PWT for that study visit. |
| Secondary | Change in Peak Walking Time (PWT) After Single Treatment | Baseline, Month 3 | To investigate whether there is improvement following a single treatment of GM-CSF, PWT at Month 3 compared to Baseline is examined. Graded treadmill exercise testing is performed using the Gardner protocol where the treadmill speed is kept at 2 mph and the grade starts at 0 and inclines by 2% every two minutes. The peak walking time (PWT) is the time (in seconds) until exercise is terminated because of severe claudication (pain in legs). Exercise testing is performed twice and longest time is used as the PWT for that study visit. |
| Secondary | Change in 6-minute Walk Distance From First Through Second Treatment | Month 3, Month 6 | To investigate whether there is further improvement with GM-CSF administered twice compared to a single administration, the examine walking distance at Month 6 compared to Month 3 is examined. Participants walk up and down a 100-foot hallway for 6 minutes to cover the maximum distance possible. The distance, measured in meters, completed after 6 minutes is recorded. |
| Secondary | Change in 6-minute Walk Distance After Single Treatment | Baseline, Month 3 | To investigate whether there is improvement following a single treatment of GM-CSF, the walking distance at Month 3 compared to Baseline is examined. Participants walk up and down a 100-foot hallway for 6 minutes to cover the maximum distance possible. The distance, measured in meters, completed after 6 minutes is recorded. |
| Secondary | Change in Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ): Walking Distance Score | Baseline, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Year 1 | The Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) domain of walking distance asks respondents to rate how difficult it is to walk around home, as well as distances of 50, 150, 300, 600, 900 and 1500 feet. Possible responses are: not hard (4), slightly difficult (3), somewhat difficult (2), very difficult (1), and unable to do (0). Total raw scores range from 0 to 28 with higher scores indicating increased ability to walk further distances. |
| Secondary | Change in Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ): Walking Speed Score | Baseline, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Year 1 | The Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) domain of walking speed asks respondents to rate how difficult it is to walk the distance of one block slowly, at an average speed, quickly, and running/jogging. Possible responses are: not hard (4), slightly difficult (3), somewhat difficult (2), very difficult (1), and unable to do (0). Total raw scores range from 0 to 16 with higher scores indicating increased ability to walk fast. |
| Secondary | Change in Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ): Stair Climbing Score | Baseline, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Year 1 | The Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) domain of stair climbing asks respondents to rate how difficult it is to climb 1, 2, and 3 flights of stairs. Possible responses are: not hard (4), slightly difficult (3), somewhat difficult (2), very difficult (1), and unable to do (0). Total raw scores range from 0 to 12 with higher scores indicating better ability to climb stairs. |
| Secondary | Change in 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) Score | Baseline, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9, Year 1 | 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) consists of eight scaled scores for the domains of: vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning, and mental health. The domains can be summarized to represent two distinct concepts for a Physical Component Summary (PCS) and a Mental Component Summary (MCS). Study participants respond to questions relating to their health and activity level by selecting from a variety of Likert scale and yes/no response options. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale and lower scores indicate more disability (a score of 0 equates to maximum disability while a score of 100 indicates no disability). This study examines the Physical Component Summary (PCS) score as well as all domains. |
