Active clinical trials for "Angina Pectoris"

Purpose Objectives To evaluate the anti-oxidant effect of long-term Vitamin C+E therapy on coronary vasospasm improvement. To evaluate the anti-oxidant effect of long-term statin therapy on coronary vasospasm improvement. To evaluate the effect of long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on regression of atheroma in target coronary vessels via intravascular ultrasound. To find out the role of vascular endothelium in variant angina via evaluating long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on improvement in vascular endothelial function by assessing brachial arterial expansion capability. To find out the role of vascular endothelium in variant angina via evaluating long-term Vitamin C+E and statin therapy on improvement in arterial stiffness by assessing pulse wave velocity(PWV)

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive clinical trial, which will assess the effect of DanshenDuofensuanyan[Danshen (a kind of Chinese herbal drug) extract] treatment on Lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 level in patients with stable angina pectoris.

This study aim is to evaluate the additional effect of eicosapentaenoic acid and dose up effect of rosuvastatin for neoatherosclerosis in coronary artery disease patients.

The study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of low dose of ticagrelor therapy for Chinese unstable angina patients treated with non-urgent coronary stent implantation, to examine whether lower dose ticagrelor (45 mg twice-daily) is not inferior to standard dose (90 mg twice-daily) for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, as well as will reduce the incidence of bleeding during long-term treatment.

This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3 clinical study to confirm the safety and efficacy of T89 in patients with stable angina pectoris, with an extended open-label period to evaluate the long-term safety of T89. This study includes three main periods: the first study period is a 3-week single-blind qualifying run-in period to screen eligible stable angina patients by exercise tolerance test (ETT). The second study period is a 8-week double-blind treatment period to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T89 in patients with stable angina by ETT. And, the last study period is a 44-week open-label period to observe long-term use safety of T89.

Clinical research to justify effectiveness of the Extracorporeal Shockwave Myocardial Revascularization (ESMR) Therapy for treatment of patients with reversible myocardial ischemia secondary to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and therapy resistant stable angina pectoris.

Rationale: The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity but there are further demands on DES performance. Such demands are an optimized performance in very challenging coronary lesions; third generation DES were developed in an effort to further improve DES performance in such challenging lesions. Two CE-certified third generation DES (Resolute Integrity and Promus Element stents) are currently available; there are no data that indicate an advantage of one of these DES over the other. Objective: To investigate whether the clinical outcome is similar after implantation of the Promus Element versus the Resolute Integrity stent (non-inferiority hypothesis). Study design: Multicenter, prospective, randomized single-blinded study. Study population: Patients who require percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) for the treatment of coronary stenoses with an indication for DES use, according to current guidelines and/or the operators clinical judgement. All clinical syndromes will be included. Intervention: In patients who are eligible for DES implantation, the type of DES implanted will be randomized (Resolute Integrity stent versus Promus Element stent). At the start of the study, both DES will also be used in routine clinical practice. Main study endpoints: The primary endpoint is the incidence of target vessel failure at one year follow-up. Target vessel failure (TVF) is a composite endpoint consisting of cardiac death, target vessel MI, or clinically driven target vessel revascularization. Further secondary clinical and angiographic endpoints will be investigated, defined in accordance with suggestions of the Academic Research Consortium (ARC). Of note, the angiographic assessment is based on clinically indicated projections only and results in no additional x-ray exposure. There is no routine angiographic follow-up. If angiographic data are available in patients who undergo symptom-driven re-catheterization, we will analyze these data to get insight into the mechanisms of potential DES restenosis. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Patients will receive the routine clinical treatment. As a consequence, the risks of this trial do not exceed the risks of any routine PCI procedure.

This study is to determine the anti-anginal and anti-ischemic effect of k-channel opener, nicorandil in patients of chronic stable angina.

The purpose of this study is to identify whether exposure to ambient levels of air pollution during normal daily activities has a functional impact on patients with coronary heart disease

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of pravastatin and rosuvastatin on coronary plaque characteristics in patients with stable angina pectoris.
