Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

ABSORB IV is a prospective, randomized (1:1, Absorb BVS to XIENCE), single-blind, multi-center study, registering approximately 2610 subjects from approximately 140 sites in the United States and outside the United States. ABSORB IV is a continuation of ABSORB III (NCT01751906) trial which are maintained under one protocol because both trial designs are related. The data from ABSORB III and ABSORB IV will be pooled to support the ABSORB IV primary endpoint. Both the trials will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Absorb BVS. The ABSORB IV Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is designed to continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness as well as the potential short and long-term benefits of Abbott Vascular Absorb™ Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) System, and the Absorb GT1™ BVS System (once commercially available), as compared to the commercially approved, control stent XIENCE.

The purpose of this study is to develop a tai-chi based exercise program designed for patients who recently had a heart attack and do not wish, or are unable, to attend traditional cardiac rehabilitation.

This was a mechanistic study in patients with coronary artery disease on the effects of Serelaxin on micro- and macrovascular function.

Prospective, Randomized (2:1), active control, single-blind, non-inferiority, multicenter, Japanese Clinical Trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Absorb™ BVS (AVJ-301) in the treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo native coronary artery lesions in Japanese population by comparing to approved metallic drug eluting stent.

Recently, two P2Y12 receptor inhibitors have been approved for clinical use: prasugrel and ticagrelor. Both prasugrel and ticagrelor have shown to be associated with more potent antiplatelet effects compared with clopidogrel and are associated with an improved net clinical benefit. However, to date there are limited head-to-head comparisons of these two new agents.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exercise for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) aged 80 years and older, with special reference to maximum aerobic capacity, muscle endurance, physical functioning, level of physical activity, health related quality of life, anxiety, depression and endothelial function, compared to a control group.

To evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the DESolve Novolimus Eluting Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single arm clinical trial that will be conducted at up to 40 sites in the United States and Outside United States (OUS). This study will enroll patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to a single de novo lesion contained within a native coronary artery with reference vessel diameter between 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm and lesion length ≤ 24 mm that is amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent deployment. All patients will be followed at 30 days, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and annually for 5 years post index stenting procedure.

Ticagrelor is a reversible direct acting P2Y12 antagonist, which has shown to be superior to clopidogrel, in adjunct to aspirin, in preventing recurrent ischemic events. Ticagrelor is considered a first line therapy to be administered as soon as possible in ACS patients. However, the pharmacodynamic effects of ticagrelor at the recommended 180mg loading dose are delayed in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The use of higher loading dose regimens of ticagrelor has therefore been advocated. The proposed investigation will have a prospective, randomized, parallel design in which STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI will be randomized to receive three different loading dose of ticagrelor (180 mg, 270 mg and 360 mg). Pharmacodynamic testing will be performed at several time points to test our study hypothesis that a higher loading dose regiment will achieve more promptly enhanced platelet inhibitory effects.
