Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, triple-dummy, parallel-controled, dose-exploration phase II trial. Patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and planned percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） will be randomized after informed consent, in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to the following treatment groups: Experimental group 1 : Vicagrel 20mg loading followed by 5mg/day for 28 days; Experimental group 2 : Vicagrel 24mg loading followed by 6mg/day for 28 days; Experimental group 3 : Vicagrel 30mg loading followed by 7.5mg/day for 28 days; Control group : Clopidogrel 300mg loading followed by 75mg/day for 28 days. The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety of vicagrel antiplatelet therapy and explore dose in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease during and after PCI compared with clopidogrel.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a public health care challenge. There are three types of treatment for CHD, medication, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). However, some end-stage CHD patients lost the chance to get those treatment. Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is a new developed therapy for these patients, which is used in tens of countries all over the world. Safety, invasiveness, effectiveness is its advantage. Ischemia condition can be improved after CSWT. There are only three cities in China run the program of CSWT, which are Kunming, Beijing and Shanghai. The investigators designed a randomized double-blind study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CSWT.

The purpose of the study is to learn which treatment option is better for patients who have multi-vessel coronary artery disease (blockages in more than one vessel supplying blood to the heart muscle). The treatment options this study will compare are: (1) Hybrid Coronary Revascularization [HCR] (a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries) and (2) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PCI] (catheter procedures alone to open up clogged heart arteries). There are no new or "experimental" procedures being tested in this study: both HCR and PCI are well-established procedures and are regularly performed in patients who have coronary artery disease. But, the FDA has not approved the drug-eluting stents used in PCI for all types of coronary artery disease. We have received an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA to use the drug-eluting stents in this trial in the same way that they are used in clinical practice. The study being proposed here will use rigorous scientific methods and should result in a very high level of certainty about which procedure is best for patients with coronary artery disease.

The TUXEDO-India is a prospective, single blind, multi-center randomized clinical trial to assess the TAXUS Element™ in a consecutive population of diabetic patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary revascularization. Approximately 1,830 patients with single or multi lesion, multi vessel coronary artery or saphenous vein graft disease ranging in vessels ranging from 2.25 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate will be enrolled in a 1:1 randomization to TAXUS Element™ vs. XIENCE™ Prime in India at up to 50 clinical sites, to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of TAXUS Element™ in an unrestricted population. Procedural Endpoints: Device success, defined as attainment of < 30% residual stenosis of the target lesion (visual assessment) using the TAXUS Element™ or XIENCE™ Prime stent. Lesion success defined as attainment of < 30% residual stenosis (visual assessment) using any percutaneous method. Procedure success defined as lesion success without the occurrence of in-hospital MACE. Procedure complication rate including composite and individual angiographic occurrence of dissection ≥B, distal embolization, no reflow, slow flow, abrupt closure, or perforation.

Investigators try to assess the safety of 6-months or 12-months maintenance of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, aspirin + clopidogrel) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention using the Zotarolimus-eluting, Resolute Integrity™ stent (Medtronic Vascular Inc, Santa Rosa, CA) or the BioMatrix™ stent (Biosensors. Singapore).

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of atherothrombotic events. Clopidogrel is the most widely used platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, despite its benefits, many patients still experience recurrent atherothrombotic events. The proposed study will test the central hypothesis that in DM patients the presence of CKD reduces clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12 inhibitory effects through synergistic mechanisms, which include upregulation of the P2Y12 signaling pathway and impaired clopidogrel metabolism.

The objective of this study is to determine ventricular loading conditions during and after PulseCath® iVAC2L support, and assess its impact on specific load dependent humoral factors and cardiac enzymes. These specific patterns are so far unknown and will be evaluated invasively.

This trial evaluates the effects of Empagliflozin versus Sitagliptin, in addition to standard of care, on global myocardial perfusion reserve using dynamic single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images.

This is a Prospective, Open label, Non-randomized, Single-Arm, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Procedural Safety and Efficacy of ELCA® in Treatment of Patients with Single or Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Up to 30 patients will be enrolled at up to 05 Indian study sites. Patients will be followed from enrollment through 30 days ± 7 days for the effectiveness and safety endpoints at the study centre.

To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of a new Medtronic Coronary Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter in the treatment of de novo lesions, small vessel disease or In-Stent Restenosis with coronary lesions previously treated with drug-eluting or bare metal stents in native coronary arteries.
