Active clinical trials for "Heart and Blood Diseases"

This study is a single-arm, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT combined with cardonilizumab and lenvastinib in the treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombus

This phase I trial studies the safety, side effects, best dose and effectiveness of mezigdomide (CC-92480) when given after idecabtagene vicleucel (Abecma chimeric antigen receptor [CAR] T-cell therapy) in patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed). CC-92480 works by binding to a protein called CRBN that triggers the breakdown of proteins: Ikaros and Aiolos, leading to cell death in multiple myeloma cells. Giving mezigdomide after Abecma CAR T cell therapy may extending the amount of time that the CAR T cells persist in the body in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

This study consists of two parts. Part I (phase Ia) is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending dose study in healthy adult subjects. Part II (phase Ib) is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open label, multiple ascending dose study in patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

A problem with breathing during sleep, called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), likely increases the risk of stroke and is common in people who have had a stroke, present in about 2/3 of stroke survivors. There is also evidence that OSA predicts worse outcome after stroke. The question being addressed in the Stroke and CPAP Outcome Study 3 (SCOUTS3) is how to improve use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to treat OSA when started during intensive stroke rehabilitation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of limb occlusion therapy (remote ischemic conditioning, RIC) in subjects with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The main question it aims to answer is whether RIC can improve long-term recovery in participants with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Researchers will compare levels of functional independence in participants in the RIC-group to participants in the sham-group.

To evaluate the effect of applying a hybrid protocol (face-to-face and via call center) of breastfeeding assistance and guidance on the duration of breast milk supply to babies with congenital heart disease for 6 months.

Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is a life threatening heart rhythm that comes from the bottom chambers of the heart (the ventricles) and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. The majority of patients that are at risk of VT or suffer a cardiac arrest will have an Internal Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) in situ to treat the abnormal heart rhythm. The ICD can deliver a painful shock to restore normal heart rhythm but importantly does not treat the underlying cause. Current treatment for the prevention of recurrent VT include catheter ablation (CA) or medication. Long-term results with global 12 month VT-free survival rates with CA are around 50%. The trial is to compare 2 different types of ablation catheter that are used to cauterise small areas of unhealthy tissue within the heart that are responsible for VT: Diamond Temp (DT) and Tacticath/Tactiflex (TF). Our hypothesis is that the DT ablation catheter will provide comparable efficacy and safety for the treatment of VT as the current industry gold standard (TF).

This Phase 2a clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of increasing dose strengths of an oral daily medication, DFV890, administered for 12 weeks, to reduce key markers of inflammation related to CVD risk, such as IL-6 and IL-18, in approximately 24 people with known heart disease and an elevated marker of inflammation, hsCRP.

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-group study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Alveo HP Balloon Dilatation Catheter for balloon dilatation of coronary artery stenosis. Pre-dilation with Alveo balloon dilatation catheter followed by conventional PCI, and follow-up will be carried out. During the trial, the enrollment, treatment and follow-up of the subjects will be recorded, and the safety and efficacy of the investigational device will be evaluated.

Heart failure (HF) is a condition in which the heart does not contract ("pump") or relax well, leading to insufficient perfusion of vital organs. Ankle swelling, fatigue, and breathlessness are some of the features of this syndrome. There are different causes for HF (e.g., infarct and hypertension) and two distinct types: HFpEF - HF with preserved ejection fraction - the heart "pumps" but does not relax well and HFrEF/HFmrEF - HF with reduced or mildly reduced ejection fraction - where the heart does not "pump" properly. Patients with HFrEF experience substantially shorter life expectancies compared with people in the general population of similar age. Compared to the different available therapeutics for HFrEF patients, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor (ARNi), sacubitril/valsartan, has shown superiority for improving clinical outcomes. Furthermore, the new recently drug sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) was proven to reduce mortality and morbidity on top of well-adapted background therapy. This work aims to test the safety of ARNi and SGLT2i initiation by comparing a strategy of simultaneous initiation of ARNi and SGLT2i versus sequential initiation of a SGLT2i first followed by an ARNi.
