208 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The proposed study aims to assess the antiplatelet effects of more potent oral P2Y12 inhibition with low-dose ticagrelor (60 mg bid) compared with standard of care clopidogrel in patients with a high ABCD-GENE score (≥10). We hypothesize that ticagrelor is associated with better pharmacodynamic effects (i.e., lower platelet reactivity and high platelet reactivity rates) compared with clopidogrel in stable coronary artery disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with a high ABCD-GENE score.
The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using smaller doses of contrast dye that are validated as being at low risk of causing injury to the kidneys, with the larger doses that are traditionally used contemporary practice.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous temanogrel is a safe and effective treatment for microvascular obstruction (MVO) in adult participants undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Prospective randomized non-blinded study to determine degree of vessel trauma and adverse remodeling of the proximal forearm radial artery following distal radial artery access (dTRA) for cardiac catheterization compared to standard forearm transradial access (fTRA).
The objective of this study is to evaluate angiographic confirmation of placement of any guidewire beyond the CTO, in the true vessel lumen, in patients undergoing CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in which at least one Teleflex guidewire and at least one Turnpike catheter are used.
The objective of this prospective, single-blind clinical investigation is to demonstrate the superiority of an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)-guided stent implantation strategy as compared to an angiography-guided stent implantation strategy in achieving larger post-PCI lumen dimensions and improving clinical cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high-risk clinical characteristics and/or with high-risk angiographic lesions.
During a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Fentanyl is commonly used for sedation. Ticagrelor is also routinely used as anti-platelet agent during PCI. However, a recent study has demonstrated the decrease in effectiveness of Ticagrelor when administered along with Fentanyl. Hence this study was designed to further assess the interaction between crushed vs non crushed Ticagrelor and Fentanyl given during PCI procedures.
Immediate potent inhibition of platelet function is critical for the prevention of periprocedural ischemic event occurrences in high risk N-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Currently, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and an oral P2Y12 receptor blocker (with loading doses) is widely used for PCI. However, immediate, potent and reversible inhibition of platelet aggregation is not possible even with the newer oral agents, prasugrel and ticagrelor. Therefore, an intravenously administered GPIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor (tirofiban) or P2Y12 receptor blocker (cangrelor) with fast onset and offset of actions will provide more desired antiplatelet effects in the setting of PCI. This study will measure and compare the anti-platelet effects of Tirofiban and Cangrelor in patients presenting with N-STEMI and undergoing PCI.
Inflammation in the arteries of the heart may increase the risk of cardiac death. The proposed research seeks to identify the potential beneficial role of a safe anti-inflammatory medication, colchicine, on reducing damage caused by opening up a blockage in the arteries of the heart. With its quick onset of action and excellent safety profile, colchicine may have the potential to reduce risk of major adverse events related to the heart. This research also seeks to better understand the role of neutrophils, the most common type of inflammatory white blood cell in the body, when there is damage to the heart.
The object of the study is to determine whether different doses of PZ-128, when added to standard medical care in persons undergoing cardiac catheterization/percutaneous coronary intervention, will increase the risk of bleeding. A secondary objective is to determine whether patients treated with PZ-128 have fewer cardiac events such as heart attack, bypass surgery or stroke compared with those persons treated with the standard of care.
This is a randomized, prospective, open label study to determine the cost-effectiveness of genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy. Patients undergoing percutaneous intervention (PCI) with stent implantation, will be randomized either to genotype guided dosing of antiplatelet therapy or usual care. The study utilizes a novel genotyping device, SpartanRx, to determine CYP2C19 genotypes from a buccal swab sample with 1 hour turnaround time.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the total costs of care associated with uncomplicated elective or low-risk urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through 30-day follow up are lower among patients who are randomly assigned to same day discharge (SDD) or overnight hospital stay (ON).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fractional flow reserve (FFR, (coronary pressure wire-based index for assessing the ischemic potential of a coronary lesion)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) will result in similar outcomes to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).
To collect data on the routine patterns of use, safety and effectiveness, including the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath 200 System, in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon catheters during PCI procedures.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety for 2 different rivaroxaban treatment strategies and one Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) treatment strategy utilizing various combinations of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or low-dose aspirin (ASA) or clopidogrel (or prasugrel or ticagrelor).
Plavix (clopidogrel) is a drug that is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to reduce the risk of having another heart attack by preventing platelets (blood cells that are important in forming blood clots) from sticking together and forming another clot. Platelet activity can be measured by a machine called VerifyNow. The purpose of this study is to see whether Hispanic women and White non-Hispanic women have the same platelet response to a commonly used drug, Plavix (clopidogrel). Recent studies have shown that platelets may be more active in Hispanics, making it more difficult to prevent clots from forming, even when using Plavix. In addition, studies have shown that women may also have more active platelets than men. There have been no studies of Hispanic women and the effect of Plavix on platelet activity.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamic effect of ticagrelor in ACS patients undergoing an Ad Hoc PCI
The purpose of this study is to assess the the 1-year rates of ischemic and bleeding complications in patients whose dual antiplatelet therapy regimen post-PCI has been determined with the use of a clinical algorithm that includes both clinical risks and platelet reactivity while on chronic clopidogrel therapy.
The purpose this study is to assess whether a tirofiban regimen of a high-dose bolus plus a shortened infusion duration compared to label-dosing eptifibatide in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a non-inferior composite rate of death, PCI-related myocardial infarction, urgent target vessel revascularization or in-hospital major bleeding within 48 hours following PCI or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
The objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Angiomax® (bivalirudin) versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients presenting with stable angina or silent ischemia (positive stress test without chest pain) that undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary endpoint of the study will be major and minor bleeding events, defined by the REPLACE-2 trial definition, during the index hospitalization and up to 30 days post discharge.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of ranolazine as compared with placebo when used as part of standard medical therapy in chronic angina subjects with incomplete revascularization post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; formerly known as angioplasty with stent) on the composite of ischemia-driven revascularization or ischemia-driven hospitalization without revascularization.
The primary objective of this prospective clinical registry is to determine the prevalence and level of thienopyridine resistance seen in a population undergoing contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
This study will assess relationship between ischemic time and the extent of myocardial infarction with cardiac magnetic resonance image in patients with STEMI (ST elevation myocardial infarction) and primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RO4905417 in patients with non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (Non-STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients will be randomized to receive an intravenous infusion of either 5 mg/kg RO4905417 or 20 mg/kg RO4905417 or placebo before PCI. Follow-up will be for 4 months.
The study investigates the safety and efficacy of PMX-60056 for the Reversal of Heparin in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
Subjects in this study have recently had or are scheduled for a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as part of their normal, routine medical care. This procedure should restore the blood flow in the vessels of the heart. One complication that can occur after a PCI procedure is blood clotting and narrowing of the artery in the area that was treated. This can result in a decrease in the blood flow to the heart. To avoid this complication, patients are given antiplatelet or "blood-thinning" drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel as part of their routine care after this procedure. For this research study, the investigators would like to take blood samples from subjects at 3 different time points while they are taking these antiplatelet drugs. The investigators will study the subjects' blood and medical history to help us further our understanding of how these drugs respond in individuals and in certain patient populations. Everyone responds a little differently to medications due to many reasons including our genetic make-up. Genes are passed down from our parents and determine our physical appearance such as the color of our hair and eyes. Differences in our genes may also help explain why some drugs work in some people, but not in others. By studying subjects' blood, medical history, genetic make-up and by recording how the subjects' blood responds over the course of their treatment, the investigators hope to learn more about how our bodies respond when taking these drugs. Additionally, the investigators hope to find better ways to predict who will respond more effectively to these drugs and better ways to monitor how these drugs are working in patients' bodies over time after PCI procedures.
Subjects in this study have recently had or are scheduled for a (percutaneous coronary intervention) PCI as part of their normal, routine medical care. This procedure should restore the blood flow in the vessels of the heart. Recent studies have shown that stable patients who undergo PCI and are discharged home after 4 hours of observation do not suffer any more complications compared to patients who stay in the hospital overnight. In addition, studies suggest that patients express increased satisfaction at being discharged after 4 hours. The University of Chicago is one of the first US medical centers to institute a formal program of same-day discharge after PCI. This study will seek, through a analysis of medical information and satisfaction questionnaires, to assess whether this particular same-day discharge program can improve patient satisfaction and preserve patient safety.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath® 200 System in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon systems for use in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a home-based program to improve weight reduction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (either a cardiac stent or angioplasty procedure).
The study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety profile of cangrelor to standard of care in patients require percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
