NCT05443321
Sub-optimal transfer of clinical information during inter-hospital transfer (IHT, the transfer of patients between acute care hospitals) is common and can lead to patient harm. To address this problem, the investigators will use key stakeholder input to refine and implement an interoperable health information exchange platform that integrates with the electronic health record and improves the reliability of and access to necessary clinical information in three use cases involving transfer of patients between sending and receiving hospitals with varying levels of affiliation and health record integration. The investigators will assess the effect of this intervention on frequency of medical errors, evaluate the use and usability of this platform from the perspective of those that interact with it, and use these results to develop a dissemination plan to spread implementation and use of this platform across other similar institutions.
NCT05755711
Post-market, prospective, multi-center, single-arm observational study to generate real-world clinical evidence associated with coronary IVL in a population of female subjects with calcified coronary artery disease.
NCT02714881
The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between inflammation, lipids, and cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis. The central hypothesis is that reducing inflammation will reduce cardiovascular risk as measured by coronary flow reserve. Additionally, we hypothesized that lipid levels may have a weaker correlation with CV risk compared to the general population.
NCT05064709
The AIM HIGHer Clinical Trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) therapy in patients with heart failure with LVEF ≥40% and ≤70%.
NCT06358508
A prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm, observational study designed to evaluate the acute safety and device performance of the Sapphire 3 0.85, 1.0 and 1.25mm diameter coronary dilatation catheter in predilatation of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions during percutaneous coronary intervention. One hundred seventy (170) subjects will be enrolled with a target of one hundred fifty-three (153) evaluable subjects by the angiographic core laboratory at up to 15 clinical sites with the Sapphire 3 0.85, 1.0 and 1.25mm diameter PTCA dilatation catheter to pre-dilate CTO lesions in coronary arteries during their index procedure. All subjects will be screened according to the protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria and will be followed through study completion, which is defined as 24-hours post-procedure or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
NCT05291884
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, early feasibility study that aims to evaluate the safety of the Impella BTR™ in adult patients requiring left-ventricular hemodynamic support, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Impella BTR™ in supporting patients to recovery or their next therapy.
NCT05268094
COMPASS is a prospective multicenter randomized interventional trial. Participants with ductal-dependent pulmonary blood flow will be randomized to receive either a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt or ductal artery stent. Block randomization will be performed by center and by single vs. two ventricle status. Participants will be followed through the first year of life.
NCT06118281
The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. The participant will need to inject the study medicine into a flat skin surface in there stomach, thigh, or upper arm once every month. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.
NCT05388019
Current standard of care for ventricular-assist device (VAD) patients is composed of a multidisciplinary team (MDT), which is required in pre-implant and implant hospitalization care but is lacking in post-implant care. Post-implant care is currently centered around the avoidance of complications of VAD support, including cerebrovascular insult (CVA/TIA), gastrointestinal bleeding and infection. Despite major improvements in survival for VAD patients, quality of life and physical functioning measures have not seen significant improvements. This study will include two prospective interventional cohorts and a retrospective control cohort. The first prospective interventional cohort will consist of patients who recently underwent LVAD implantation at Massachusetts General Hospital, and their caregivers. These patients will receive only multidisciplinary team care from the time of their implant. The second prospective interventional cohort will consist of patients who have previously undergone LVAD implantation at Massachusetts General Hospital who are being followed-up with standard-of-care VAD clinic visits, and their caregivers. These patients will receive a hybrid of multidisciplinary team care and standard-of-care visits. The historical control cohort will consist of retrospective data collection on patients who have undergone LVAD implantation in the past and no longer have an LVAD implanted (due to transplant, death, explant, etc.), and will be matched with the prospective interventional patients. The purpose of this study is to characterize the impact of routine MDT care on health-related quality of life, caregiver burnout and functional capacity of outpatient VAD patients, and to determine if implementation of MDT care is associated with a reduction in complications and readmissions in VAD patients at one- and two-years post implant. The investigators hypothesize that the MDT clinic model in addition to standard of care VAD management will positively impact the quality of life and functional status of VAD patients. Subjects who consent to this study will be seen by the MDT providers and complete Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests (CPET), six-minute-walk-tests, and quality of life questionnaires. The primary caregivers of these subjects will complete a Caregiver Self-Assessment at two timepoints. We anticipate to enroll 20 newly-implanted VAD patients in the pure-MDT arm, 35 pre-existing VAD patients in hybrid-MDT/SOC arm, and 55 primary caregivers.

This prospective, global, multi-center, randomized 2:1, single blind study will enroll up to 1632 subjects at up to 130 investigational sites in North America, Japan, and Europe. Subjects will have clinical follow-up in-hospital and at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 years.
NCT07000123
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AZD0780 in adults with clinical ASCVD or who are at risk for a first ASCVD event and who have elevated LDL-C. AZD0780 is a small molecule that reduces the amount of LDL-C in the blood. Placebo will be used for comparison, and neither the participants nor the Investigators will know who is receiving the AZD0780 medication and who is receiving the placebo until the end of study. The total length of the study for an individual participant will be up to approximately 56 weeks, including a screening period of up to 14 days, treatment with AZD0780 or placebo for 52 weeks, and a safety follow-up period of 10 days.
NCT05253677
Computed tomography (CT) has become an established tool in the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The availability of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) before the invasive procedure allows stratifying case complexity and can be used to improve patient selection for PCI, to plan and guide therapeutic interventions. Beyond the diagnostic and therapeutic phase, it helps to better organize the catheterization laboratory workflow. The P4 study is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, randomized study with a non-inferiority design of patients with an indication for PCI aiming at comparing clinical outcomes between two imaging strategies to guide PCI, being coronary CT-guided PCI strategy (investigational technology) and IVUS-guided PCI strategy (comparator). After identifying the presence of a significant coronary stenosis, the patient will be randomized either to CT- or IVUS-guided PCI groups. Both CT and IVUS-guided PCI will be performed following the P4 trial protocol. When the procedure is completed, post-PCI FFR will be measured. All patients will be followed in hospital, at 30 days (±15 days), 12 months (±1 month) and yearly until 5 year.
NCT06590467
The Abbott Structural Heart (SH) Registry is being conducted to confirm the safety and performance of Abbott's SH devices in a post-market, real-world setting. The Registry primarily involves gathering data from routine hospital practices and standard-of-care (SOC) procedures administered to patients. All devices used in these procedures must be commercially available to the participating site. A list of specific devices covered by the Registry are available upon request from the Sponsor. Data generated by the Registry will be used to meet regulatory requirements, such as the European Union Medical Device Regulations 2017/745, that require active post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) for all commercially available devices.
NCT05134012
This a Phase 3, prospective, open-label, multicenter study of \[15-O\]-H2O injection for PET imaging of subjects with suspected CAD. Approximately 182 evaluable participants with suspected CAD referred for testing will be included in the study at approximately 10 study sites in the United States and Europe. Approximately 215 participants will be enrolled to account for an estimated 15% drop-out rate. Screening assessments will occur prior to enrollment to confirm eligibility. All participants will receive two doses of \[15-O\]-H2O as part of a single PET imaging session (one dose at rest and one during pharmacological stress with adenosine). A safety follow-up phone call will occur 24 ± 8 hrs after completion of the \[15-O\]-H2O scan.
