25 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of human allogeneic mesenchymal bone marrow cells (aMBMC) administered intravenously to subjects with ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
This is an international, randomized, controlled, parallel group study in which patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) will be allocated to one of the following: Manual aspiration thrombectomy with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) or PCI alone.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether hemodynamic support with an Impella-based treatment strategy initiated prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)-Cardiogenic Shock (CS) improves survival and functional outcomes compared to a non-Impella-based treatment strategy.
Coronary microcirculatory dysfunction has been known to be prevalent even after successful revascularization of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Microvascular obstruction (MVO) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is significant prognostic indicator in STEMI patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although current gold-standard method to assess microvascular damage or dysfunction in STEMI patients is CMR and assessment of MVO, previous study presented that index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) in culprit vessel of STEMI patients showed significant association with the presence of MVO in CMR and the risk of cardiac death or heart failure admission. Nevertheless, the need for pressure-temperature sensor wire and hyperemic agents significantly limits adoption of IMR in daily practice. Recent technical development enabled angiographic derivation of IMR without pressure wire, hyperemic agents, or thermodilution method. In this regard, the current study will evaluate the feasibility of functional angiography-derived IMR (angio-IMR) in the evaluation of MVO after successful primary PCI for STEMI.
The purpose of this implementation trial is to execute a nurse-led, home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) program, evaluate the program's impact on patient outcomes over 6 months; and compare outcomes of HeartHome (HH) participants to a group of participants in traditional cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
The study will evaluate the effect of BB3 to preserve myocardial (heart) tissue and function following myocardial infarction (heart attack).
The size of a heart attack will be decreased by the use of timed balloon inflations to open the blocked blood vessel.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the efficacy of cangrelor is superior, or at least non-inferior, to that of clopidogrel in subjects requiring PCI.
This study will determine the impact of Transcutaneous Vagus Stimulation(TVNS) and autonomic modulation of inflammation in patients admitted with " acute heart attack." After admission for "acute heart attack" or "myocardial infarction" patients will be randomized to either TVNS or placebo and their blood samples will be collected at different time points during admission and post discharge. Blood samples will be analyzed for various markers of inflammation.
In STEMI patients undergoing PPCI there is a delayed onset of action of oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, including prasugrel and ticagrelor. Crushing prasugrel and ticagrelor improves their PK and PD profiles as it favors drug absorption and onset of antiplatelet effects and because of this, it is commonly used in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. However, despite the use of crushed tablets, up to one-third of patients may still have high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) within the first 2 hours after loading dose (LD) administration of these oral agents. Cangrelor is a potent intravenous P2Y12 receptor inhibitor with rapid onset and offset of action associated with a greater reduction in ischemic events compared with clopidogrel in P2Y12 receptor naïve patients undergoing PCI. To date most studies have explored cangrelor in the setting of PCI subjects treated with clopidogrel. The PD effects of cangrelor in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI treated with a newer generation P2Y12 receptor inhibitor and how this compares with a crushed formulation of the oral drug is unexplored. The aim of this prospective randomized study is to investigate the PD effects of cangrelor in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI treated with crushed ticagrelor.
The purposes of the study are to 1) study alterations in the metabolomic profile of patients exposed to post-ischemic conditions and 2) study alterations in myocardial infarction size of patients exposed to post-ischemic conditioning.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of intracoronary artery administered autologous bone marrow derived stem cells in subjects post ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This will be assessed by evaluating and comparing the autologous stem cell treatment group to the control group in terms of the occurrence of AE's, SAE's and Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), by the change in myocardial perfusion (RTSS) measured quantitatively by gated single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (gated SPECT MPI), and other secondary endpoints such as LVEF measured by cardiac MRI in addition to other endpoints.
The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of single administration of RPH-104 at 80 mg and 160 mg on parameters of systemic inflammation and outcomes of the disease in subjects with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
This study involves doing platelet function testing in patients who have undergone fibrinolysis. Fibrinolysis (Use of clot busting medicine in heart attack) is the standard of care to restore blood flow in blocked arteries as soon as possible after the "Heart attack" in rural health center where access to cardiac catheterization is one hour away. Fibrinolysis is done by the emergency room physician in a timely fashion to minimize the damage of the myocardium. Additionally anti-platelet regimen as adjuvant for patient undergoing fibrinolysis has been well studied in many trials. In this study investigators will use clopidogrel or ticagrelor in randomized fashion to evaluate anti- platelet effect by measuring efficacy in vivo (pharmacodynamics) and blood levels of both drugs (Pharmacokinetics).
The objective of this research study is to test the accuracy of preexisting criteria versus expert interpretation for the diagnosis of acute coronary occlusion (major heart attack due to a completely blocked blood vessel). If our hypothesis proves to be true, this would provide a significant improvement in the care for patients who present to the hospital with possible symptoms of coronary ischemia (symptoms due to lack of blood flow to the heart). The primary analysis will be designed as a multi-center, retrospective case-control study.
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.
The EMBRACE-STEMI trial was a Phase 2a prospective, multicenter, multinational randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IV administered elamipretide (also known as MTP-131, or Bendavia) on a background of standard-of-care therapy for reduction of reperfusion injury in patients with first time acute, anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
While troponin is not detectable until several hours after an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), copeptin is expected to be elevated very early after an AMI. A combination of both markers for the diagnosis of AMI early after the event is therefore expected to be advantageous.
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The primary objectives of this study are to examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravenous MCC-135 in limiting final infarct size, as measured by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), in patients who require percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a first-documented ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
The CERAMICS study is designed to more clearly delineate the current care of acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (AMICS) patients who are treated with mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices in the United States with significant experience in MCS, all of whom have the capability of MCS escalation on-site. Study enrollment is targeted at 120 patients at 20 hospital sites, evaluating clinical outcomes, and focusing on outcomes MCS escalation decision making and ICU level management.
The study aims to determine the feasibility and clinical utility of incorporating precision medicine approaches, incorporating both cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) genotyping and platelet reactivity phenotyping, with standard of care for patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), post PCI.
This study evaluates the use of early mechanical circulatory support in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock. Patients are treated according to the National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative protocol, which emphasizes early identification of cardiogenic shock and rapid delivery of mechanical circulatory support based on invasive hemodynamics. All patients treated in this manner are enrolled in the National Cardiogenic Shock registry.
This is a prospective, open label, randomized trial of 100 patients who present to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with an ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction for primary PCI. Patients may receive up-front unfractionated heparin or low molecular weight heparin, but not glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors or thrombolytics. Patients will be consented prior to the diagnostic catheterization and will be randomized once the patient is deemed amenable to PCI to receive eptifibatide or no eptifibatide just prior to or at the time of primary angioplasty. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion. All patients will be assessed for the primary endpoint of ST resolution at 60 minutes post PCI and followed throughout the duration of the hospitalization and up to 30 days for secondary endpoint evaluation.
