301 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The majority of the over one million annual AHF hospitalizations originate from the emergency department. Admitting and re-admitting lower risk AHF patients who don't need prolonged hospitalization may increase their risk for poor outcomes and decrease their quality of life: Safe alternatives to hospitalization from the ED are needed. We propose a strategy-of-care, short stay unit management of AHF (i.e. less than 24 hours), will lead to improved outcomes for lower risk AHF patients.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD9977 in combination with dapagliflozin compared with dapagliflozin alone and to assess the dose-response relationship, dapagliflozin alone and 3 doses of AZD9977 combined with dapagliflozin on urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR). The study will be conducted in participants with heart failure (HF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF \[below 60%\]) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR \[between ≥ 20 and ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, with at least 20% of participants with eGFR ≥ 20 to \<30 mL/min/1.73\^2 and a maximum of 35% of participants with eGFR ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m\^2\]).
For patients discharged with a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease coronary artery disease resulting in myocardial infarction and/or congestive heart failure, this study will evaluate if the addition of 12 virtual health coaching sessions over the course of 16 weeks will improve physiological, psychological, and social health outcomes, prove acceptable and satisfactory for these patients with CVD, decrease CVD-related questions and concerns sent to the provider via MyChart, and reduce hospital readmission rates over a 90-day period as compared to patients discharged with the same diagnosis who receive standard post-discharge care. The study will also evaluate the perceptions of physician and advanced practice providers related to the health coach as part of the interprofessional team and the amount of time spent addressing CVD-related patient questions and concerns via MyChart messages.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of IV SLV320 in acute heart failure patients with renal dysfunction.
The primary hypothesis is that patients with HFREF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) will demonstrate a markedly expanded intravascular volume which will correlate with elevated right heart hemodynamics and increased venous capacitance parameters, whereas patients with HFPEF(heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) will demonstrate euvolemia to mild volume expansion and a lack of correlation with hemodynamic and venous compliance parameters.
This is a prospective, double blinded randomized clinical study to evaluate the Effects of Pentoxifylline on left ventricular systolic function indices and circulating biomarkers in patients with chronic congestive heart failure. A few studies all focused in Africa have consistently shown marked beneficial effects of pentoxifylline in improvement of left ventricular size and systolic function along with marked decrease in biomarkers of heart failure and apoptosis markers on top of standard CHF therapy. Furthermore pentoxifylline was shown to have negligible effects on heart rate, blood pressure in those studies. Limitations of these studies are that they are largely single center originating in the African subcontinent and have never been tested in the North American population, particularly Caucasians. Despite major advances in medical therapy for congestive heart failure, it is still one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in North America. Most medications tested for improvement of Ejection Fraction with the exception of Beta-Blockers and Ace-Inhibitors have been associated with worsening mortality. Pentoxifylline is a medication that has negligible effects on myocardial oxygen consumption, yet promising effects on inflammatory markers seen in CHF with the possibility of improvement in LV systolic function and symptomology and may prove to be a useful addition for CHF patients. This would prove to be especially useful, particularly when associated with no major side effects.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of conivaptan and diuretics on renal blood flow and neurohormones.
The Company's proprietary products are based on Orqis Medical's hypothesis, supported by early clinical data, that increasing and maintaining continuous blood flow in the descending aorta, known as continuous aortic flow augmentation or CAFA, improves hemodynamics in heart failure patients. The clinical impact of the hemodynamic improvement is currently being evaluated to determine the effects of CAFA on stopping or reversing the progression of heart failure through three physiological effects: * VASCULAR - Reducing systemic vascular resistance * RENAL - Improving renal function * CARDIAC - Reducing cardiac workload
The purpose of this study is to determine if Coreg CR is as effective as Coreg IR in improving heart function in subjects with stable chronic heart failure.
Despite established clinical practice guidelines, wide variations exist in the care of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients in Veterans Health Administration. Previous randomized, controlled studies have suggested that a nurse case management model may improve the outcomes of care for patients with CHF. However, these studies involved selected groups of patients (i.e., those who agreed to participate in randomized trials) in selected settings (i.e., tertiary care facilities); so, the findings are not likely to be indicative of the true effectiveness of case management in a large population of CHF patients.
This Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter outpatient study is designed to test the safety and tolerability of AC2592 as well as examine the effect of AC2592 on oxygen consumption during maximal tolerated exercise in adult subjects with chronic congestive heart failure.
This study will examine the effect of antidepressant medication on rates of death and disease in depressed people with chronic heart failure.
Beta-blocker medications have been shown to improve heart function and prolong the lives of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Some people with advanced CHF have difficulty taking beta-blocker medications due to troublesome side effects, such as low blood pressure and/or low heart rate, severe tiredness, dizziness, or shortness of breath. In other words, they have difficulty tolerating beta-blocker medications. The purpose of this study is to determine if enoximone can improve a patient's ability to tolerate a beta-blocker medication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 24-hour infusion of levosimendan compared with placebo in the treatment of decompensated chronic heart failure.
The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug called omecamtiv mecarbil can reduce the risk of the effects of heart failure, like hospitalization, transplantation, or death in patients with heart failure and severely reduced ejection fraction.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of JK07 in participants aged 18-85 with heart failure. There will be 2 cohorts in this study: Cohort 1: Heart failure (HF) participants with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤ 40%. Cohort 2: Heart failure (HF) participants with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \> 40% and ≤ 65%.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are studied. In observational studies, only observations are made, without participants receiving any advice or any changes to healthcare. Chronic HFrEF is a long-term condition in which the heart becomes weak and cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body with each heartbeat. This leads to a reduced supply of oxygen, which the body requires to function properly. The study treatment, vericiguat, works by increasing the activity of an enzyme called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which relaxes the blood vessels and allows more blood to flow. As a result, the heart can pump better. It is already approved for doctors to prescribe to people with chronic HFrEF in the United States (US) who are stabilized after a recent "decompensation event". The treatment with vericiguat starts at a low dose, which should be increased gradually to the target dose based on how a patient tolerates the treatment. The participants in this study are already receiving treatment with vericiguat as part of their regular care from their doctors. The main purpose of the study is to learn more about the dosage pattern of vericiguat in people with chronic HFrEF in the US. To do this, researchers will collect the following information for 3 months after participants' first dose of vericiguat: * starting dose of vericiguat * daily changes in dosage pattern * time taken to reach the target dose * number and percentage of participants: * with specific changes in dosage pattern * reaching the target dose of vericiguat They will also collect information on how often low blood pressure or fainting occurs, which are well known events in people with chronic HFrEF. The data will come from the participants' information stored in a database called the HealthVerity HF dataset. Data collected will be from people with chronic HFrEF who started taking vericiguat between January 2021 and April 2023. Researchers will only look at the health records of participants in the US. Researchers will track participants' data and will collect information for a maximum of 6 months before and 3 months after their first dose of vericiguat. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the composition and function of the gut microbiome in adults with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How does the gut microbiome and its interactions with the host change over time in adults with chronic heart failure? 2. How do these changes relate to heart failure disease severity and complications?
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of AZD5462 on cardiac function in participants with chronic heart failure (HF).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tovinontrine compared to placebo to lower NT-proBNP in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a long-term condition that occurs when the heart is too weak to pump enough blood to the rest of the body. This results in a reduced supply of the oxygen that the body requires to function properly. The common symptoms of HFrEF include breathlessness, weakness, fatigue, and swelling in the ankles and legs. If left untreated, heart failure can lead to other serious health problems, including damage to other organs, which may result in hospital stays or even death. Vericiguat is an approved drug for use in people with chronic HFrEF. It works by activating a protein called soluble guanylate cyclase, which helps dilating the blood vessels and in turn improves heart function. Currently, treatment with vericiguat starts at a daily dose of 2.5 milligrams (mg), which increases to 5 mg after 2 weeks. The dose is then increased to the target dose of 10 mg after another 2 weeks. In this study, researchers are trying to learn how well participants can tolerate and how safe it is to start vericiguat at a dose of 5 mg. Starting directly at the 5 mg dose is expected to help reach the target dose of 10 mg faster. Participants will take vericiguat 5 mg as a tablet by mouth once daily along with their regular heart medications. At the start of the study, study doctors will check participants' medical history and perform full health check-ups to confirm if they can take part in the study. Throughout the study, study doctors will monitor participants' previous and current medications, their heart health, and their overall well-being. This will help researchers assess how safe the study drug is and if they experience adverse events. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective of whether they think they are related to the study treatment. Access to study treatment after the end of this study is not planned. Everyone, including study doctors and participants, will know what drug the participants receive during the study. Participants may be in the study for about 4 weeks. Participants may not benefit from the treatment as the study is designed to assess safety and tolerability: the duration of the study is very short and participants will be taking a low dose of vericiguat without moving to the target dose of 10 mg during the study. However, the findings of this study may enable people with chronic HFrEF to safely skip one initial dosing step and reach the target dose of vericiguat faster. Participants may experience medical problems such as low blood pressure, upset stomach, nausea, dizziness, and headache. Researchers will monitor and manage all these, and other, medical problems participants may have during the study.
The primary purpose for this study is to support the hypothesis (pilot data) that the use of the CardioPumonary Management (CPM) system reduces the rate of heart failure (HF) related events and the related healthcare cost. The study will also measure the impact on quality of care and patient satisfaction. In order to support the primary objective, the study will compare the outcomes and costs for patients using the CPM system against those who are not. This can either be done using institutions averages, if available, or through a control group.
