NCT04627688

Brief Summary

The overarching goal of this project is to assess whether a controlled short-term Time restricted feeding (TRF) intervention leads to metabolic benefits, improves recovery after vascular surgery and that TRF is safe. Participants suffering from intermittent claudication (Fontaine stage II peripheral artery disease, PAD) will be randomly assigned to a 2-week TRF or active control dietary advices before open surgical revascularization. Prior to the surgery, the investigators will assess the eating patterns of participants with an innovative smartphone application ('app') which is less intrusive and more reliable than food diaries/questionnaires to assess eating behavior and patterns. In the second part of the study, the investigators will investigate whether a short term TRF intervention improves surgical recovery, in the short-term (1 month, primary endpoint) and long-term (optional, up to 1 year), as part of the routine clinical follow-up. This proposal builds on established expertise in the biology of dietary intervention, surgery, and study of eating patterns in human.

Study Arms (2)

Standard dietary advices

ACTIVE COMPARATOR
Behavioral: Standard dietary advices

Time restricted feeding

EXPERIMENTAL
Behavioral: Time restricted feeding

Interventions

Participants will be advised to eat only during a selected window of 8 hours, and no later than 4pm, with no advice on nutrition quality, quantity or caloric intake. The intervention will include no medication, no medical device, and will last for 2 weeks prior to surgery.

Time restricted feeding

Participants will be given standard dietary advices, as recommended by the international nutrition guidelines, and thus are not different from common clinical practice.
