Study Summary

This study was designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ACZ885 on the leg artery structure and physical activity in patients with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease and leg pain from walking.

Primary Outcome

Peripheral artery wall area (superficial femoral artery) measured using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) cross-section slices. Mean vessel wall area (mm\^2) was derived by converting total plaque volume (TPV) (mL) of the vessel to mm\^3 by multiplying by 1000, dividing by the number of slices used for the volume calculation, and dividing by the thickness of a slice (3 mm). Least squares mean for ratio of 12 months to baseline was measured from repeated measures mixed effect model with visit, tre
