3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The proposed study is a sub-study of the CANTOS trial (A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event driven trial of quarterly subcutaneous canakinumab in the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events among stable post-myocardial infarction patients with elevated high sensitivity C-reaction protein (hsCRP) \[CACZ885M2301\]). The study proposes to perform serial Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests (CPX) to prospectively measure changes in aerobic exercise capacity in patients with prior myocardial infarction (MI), elevated C reactive protein plasma levels, and symptomatic heart failure with reduced systolic function, who are enrolled in the main CANTOS trial and are randomly assigned to Canakinumab (3 different doses) or Placebo. The subjects enrolled in this substudy will undergo repeated CPX and echocardiograms over the first 12 months of the CANTOS trial. The subjects will received the experimental treatment as randomized in the main CANTOS trial and they will not receive any additional experimental treatment as part of the sub-study. This study is a an Investigator-initiated (Dr. Abbate) single-center (Virginia Commonwealth University) sub-study of the CANTOS trial, supported by Novartis pharmaceuticals.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of long-term therapy with rosuvastatin compared with a placebo, and to evaluate whether treatment with rosuvastatin might be effective in reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and CRP-lowering effect of quarterly and monthly subcutaneous administration of TOUR006 (also known as pacibekitug) in participants with chronic kidney disease and elevated hs-CRP.
