Active clinical trials for "Angina Pectoris"

This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of the famous prescription in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris. All of the patients will be divided into 4 arms according to their syndrome type. One of the arms will be treated by conventional western medicine, the other three will be treated by different Chinese herbal medicine prescription at the base of conventional western medicine.

The purpose of this study is to determine that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is safe and effective for the treatment of refractory angina pectoris.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a one-time intracoronary infusion of Ad5FGF-4 is effective in reducing the time to onset myocardial ischemia as measured by exercise treadmill testing and improving myocardial blood flow as measured by SPECT imaging. Exercise capacity, angina functional class, patient symptoms and quality of life will also be evaluated to characterize the efficacy of Ad5FGF-4. Short-term and long-term safety of Ad5FGF-4 will also be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a single intracoronary infusion of Ad5FGF-4 is effective in improving exercise capacity measured by exercise treadmill testing, angina functional class, patient symptoms, quality of life, and cardiovascular outcomes. To doses are to be studied, 2.87x10(8) and 2.87x10(9) viral particles, to evaluate the dose-response of Ad5FGF-4. Short-term and long-term safety of Ad5FGF-4 will also be evaluated.

The objective of this study is to evaluate effect of statin treatment for vasospastic angina.

Evaluation of an intracoronary injection of ex-vivo generated autologous Angiogenic Cells Precursors (ACPs) to treat patients suffering from severe angina not responsive to maximal drug treatment or not willing or without option of undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The use of ACPs aims to promote the formation of new vascularization and thus viable myocardial tissue.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimum effective dose of recombinant plasmid DNA [pVGI.1(VEGF2)] gene therapy administered using an experimental cardiac direct injection catheter (Stiletto™) system needed to benefit patients with severe Angina Pectoris.

The study aims at assessing safety and efficacy of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) for the treatment of refractory angina pectoris in a single blind, prospective, multicenter study. Sixty patients with refractory angina with new SCS device implantation will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: paresthesic SCS; subliminal SCS; low (non effective) stimulation (control). Clinical follow-up will be done at 1 and 3 months. Control group patients will then be randomized to paresthesic SCS or subliminal SCS for another 3 months and the 2 groups will be reassessed at 6 months.

The study evaluate the absorption rate of different sublingual formulation of nitroglycerine (NTG) either in the form of available tablets or a new rapid absorbable gelation capsule formulation "NTG1523" by determining T-max and area under the response curve of nitoglycerine in blood concentration as well as from clinical effects after intake. Data is entered on data sheet in anonymous form and processed. The results are presented in anonymous form by publication and lecture. Experts are given the supplement: "The applicant's rights in a biomedical research project

Despite numerous advances in medical treatment and revascularization procedures for the treatment of patients with stable angina, debilitating symptoms that are unresponsive to conventional therapy may occur in patients unsuitable for revascularization, a condition known as refractory angina. Allopurinol, a methylxanthine oxidase inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia. On the other hand, the anti-ischemic effects of allopurinol have been the subject of increasing interest. Therefore, the investigators will study the safety and efficacy of allopurinol in alleviating ischemic symptoms in patients with refractory angina already on optimal medical therapy.
