NCT00289302
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. In certain heart failure cases, when the two lower chambers of the heart no longer beat in a coordinated manner, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be prescribed. CRT is similar to a pacemaker. It is placed (implanted) under the skin of the upper chest. CRT is delivered as tiny electrical pulses to the right and left ventricles through three or four leads (soft insulated wires) that are inserted through the veins to the heart. People who have a dangerously fast heart beat, or whose heart is at risk of stopping beating, may be in need of an electronic device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). An ICD is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area and it sends a strong electrical impulse, or shock, to the heart to return it to a normal rhythm. If the heart is beating too slowly or at an abnormal rhythm, an ICD can also pace the heart to return the heart to its normal rhythm. The InSync ICD device can change the timing of when the left and right ventricles of the heart are paced to beat. The purpose of this study is to monitor the long-term performance of the InSync ICD Model 7272 and the InSync Marquis 7277 systems for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
NCT00327691
The primary objective of this study is to determine the degree of additional reduction in cardiovascular risk that was accrued to patients by lowering their LDL-C beyond the currently accepted minimum target level for patients with pre-existing CHD. Secondary objectives include the safety profile of this treatment strategy, its cost-effectiveness, effect on other atherosclerotic-related events and procedures, and total mortality.
NCT00066898
To assess the safety and efficacy of AGI-1067, as compared to placebo, in the treatment of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis by assessing the reduction in cardiovascular events.
NCT00351559
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a leukocyte gene expression profiling method in the monitoring of asymptomatic heart transplant patients for acute rejection.
NCT00185042
The purpose of this study is to learn if CS-505 is safe and effective for slowing down or possibly reversing the buildup of tissue, cells and fatty deposits (plaque) in the blood vessels of the heart (coronary artery atherosclerosis).
NCT00557921
The purpose of the COGENT-1 clinical trial is to determine whether CGT-2168 (clopidogrel and omeprazole) compared to clopidogrel is safe and effective in reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding and symptomatic ulcer disease, in the setting of concomitant aspirin therapy. Antiplatelet therapy is an essential element of care for patients with atherothrombotic disease. Bleeding is a fundamental adverse effect of all antiplatelet drugs including aspirin, clopidogrel and dual antiplatelet regimens. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common site of bleeding related to antiplatelet therapy, typically in connection with peptic ulcer disease. Recently published studies suggest the use of clopidogrel carries a gastrointestinal bleeding risk similar to that of aspirin or non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients taking any two of these drugs (clopidogrel, aspirin and/or non-aspirin NSAIDs) are exposed to an even higher risk of bleeding and ulcer disease. Cogentus Pharmaceuticals is launching phase 3 trials of a novel combination product, CGT-2168, which has the potential to significantly reduce this problem and increase patient safety. CGT-2168 combines a standard dosage of clopidogrel and a gastroprotectant (omeprazole) in a once-daily pill that may reduce the likelihood of adverse gastrointestinal events.
NCT00283361
The main purpose of this study is to see if the experimental drug ZP120, when given with the approved drug furosemide to patients with acute or sub-acute heart failure, can reduce the amount of fluid in the patients' lungs and make breathing easier.
NCT00048425
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.
NCT00455546
The study will be conducted at up to 80 centers worldwide and will be a double-blind randomized parallel group placebo controlled study among subjects with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo tablets or one of 4 orally active doses of A-002. The duration of study drug therapy will be 8 weeks.
NCT00595673
This trial is to compare PB127 echocardiography to other heart imaging studies.
NCT00525954
The study will be conducted at up to 25 U.S. centers and will be a double-blind randomized parallel group placebo controlled study among subjects with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo tablets or one of 2 orally active doses of A-002. The duration of study drug therapy will be 8 weeks.
NCT00180466
PROSPECT is a multi-center prospective registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) patients with single or double vessel coronary artery disease. Approximately 700 patients with ACS will be enrolled into the study at sites in the United States and European Union.
NCT00662116
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of alagebrium in subjects diagnosed with diastolic heart failure. The primary assessment for effectiveness is the assessment of exercise tolerance.
NCT00584896
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of PB127 with cardiac ultrasound assists in the diagnosis or exclusion of coronary artery disease.
NCT00584714
The purpose of this study is to collect longer term follow-up information concerning health and survival on selected patients who received PB127 for injectable suspension in the pivotal trial (127-014).
NCT00568009
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, sequential cohort study in subjects with congestive heart failure (CHF) and impaired renal function who are on stable furosemide treatment (³ 40 mg daily). A total of 50 subjects will be randomized to each increasing dose level of SLV320 or placebo in a sequential fashion.
NCT00269230
People who have abnormal heart beats, or whose heart does not beat on its own, may need an electronic device called a pacemaker or a defibrillator. Furthermore, people whose hearts have a reduced pumping ability may need a device are called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. A CRT device is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area. This device then helps the heart beat at a regular rhythm by sending electrical signals (pacing) directly to the heart tissue through flexible wires called leads. The device may also be able to stop the heart from beating too fast. Three leads are implanted into the chambers of your heart. Two of the leads will be placed on the right side of your heart. The third lead is placed on the left side of your heart and is the lead being studied. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Attain StarFixTM Model 4195 Left Ventricular (LV) Lead. This particular model lead has special characteristics that may help to better keep it in position once it is implanted into the left ventricle. It is also "steroid-eluting" which means that over time it slowly releases a small amount of medication into the heart tissue to help prevent too much swelling around the area it is implanted.
NCT00159627
