A group of patients with severe peripheral vascular disease has been treated with PGE1 alpha-ciclodestrina (as reported in the previous 9 articles) including 595 patients (mean age 64.52 +/- 12; 307 with intermittent claudication and 237 with critical limb ischemia, rest pain and gangrene). Also 51 diabetics were studied and treated (25% with claudication and the remaining group with critical ischemia and/or neuropathy). The mean dosage administered in most patients (83% were treated with the short-term protocol) had been 20 + 40 micrograms on the first day and 60 + 40 micrograms on the second day.
Subjects had been treated on average 2.6 times (cycles of short term treatment); 37% of patients had received at least 3 cycles of short term treatment. Clinically relevant side effects have been observed in 30 patients (5% of the 595 treated patients). Temporary suspension of treatment has reduced/abolished side effects in 18 out of 30 patients and only in 5 patients (0.8%) therapy had to be suspended. Clinical improvement was evaluated according to subjective improvement, objective improvement (as defined by the treating physician/surgeon) and one or more physiological parameters (flux, flow, treadmill test). Among patients with intermittent claudication (only considered endpoint was walking distance) 78% was significantly improved. In patients with critical ischemia (endpoints were pain control, decrease of ischemic areas and perfusion improvement, objectively measured) 66% of patients improved. In diabetics (including both claudicants and subjects with critical ischemia) 58% improved.
Global analysis of the previous 9 studies indicates that PGE1 alpha-ciclodestrina treatment is effective, there are few and controllable (in most patients) side effects and the treatment (particularly the short term protocol) is very cost effective.
一组患有严重外周血管疾病的患者接受了前列地尔α-环糊精治疗(如之前9篇文章所报道),包括595名患者(平均年龄64.52±12岁;307名间歇性跛行患者,237名严重肢体缺血、静息痛和坏疽患者)。还对51名糖尿病患者进行了研究和治疗(25%为间歇性跛行患者,其余为严重缺血和/或神经病变患者)。大多数患者(83%接受短期治疗方案)的平均给药剂量在第一天为20 + 40微克,第二天为60 + 40微克。
受试者平均接受了2.6次治疗(短期治疗周期);37%的患者接受了至少3个短期治疗周期。在30名患者(595名接受治疗患者中的5%)中观察到了临床相关副作用。30名患者中有18名通过暂时中止治疗减轻/消除了副作用,只有5名患者(0.8%)不得不中止治疗。根据主观改善、客观改善(由治疗医生/外科医生定义)以及一个或多个生理参数(通量、流量、跑步机测试)对临床改善情况进行评估。在间歇性跛行患者中(仅将行走距离视为终点),78%有显著改善。在严重缺血患者中(终点为疼痛控制、缺血区域减小和灌注改善,通过客观测量),66%的患者有所改善。在糖尿病患者中(包括间歇性跛行患者和严重缺血患者),58%有所改善。
对之前9项研究的综合分析表明,前列地尔α-环糊精治疗有效,副作用少且(大多数患者)可控,并且该治疗(尤其是短期治疗方案)性价比非常高。
