Active clinical trials for "Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic"

The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MYK-224 in participants with obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (oHCM)

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, the safety and the efficacy of the transapical beating-heart septal myectomy for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center, first-in-man study.

Aim: To compare treatment effects of Bisoprolol and Verapamil in 140 patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The overall clinical purpose is to reduce the symptomatic burden and arrhythmic complications. Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by hypertrophy of the left ventricular wall and a hypercontracted state of the sarcomeres. This narrows the left ventricular cavity, but though the left ejection fraction is increased the stroke volume and the cardiac output cannot be fully compensated. The disease manifestations can be mild or develop into severe functional limitations and devastating complications at early age. Dyspnea, chest pain, palpitations and syncope are the most common symptoms, and patients are at risk of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Arrhythmias and sudden cardiac deaths may precede heart failure symptoms. Patients with symptomatic HCM are treated initially with beta blockers and calcium channel blockers. However, there is limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of this guideline-recommended treatment in HCM. Methods: The study is a multicenter, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled cross-over trial. Patients are randomized in to three 35-days treatment periods with Bisoprolol, Verapamil and Placebo. Each treatment period includes a 7-days up titration period, a 21-days target dose period and a 7-days down titration period. Between treatment periods 1-30 days treatment pause is allowed. End point will be evaluated at day 21 +/- 4 days. Patients will be evaluated by cardiopulmonary exercise test, echocardiography, 7 day Holter-monitoring, biomarkers and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). A subgroup of patients will also be evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Hypotheses: Three equal independent primary effect parameters will be analyzed between treatment with Bisoprolol and Verapamil: The incidence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is different between treatment in non-obstructive HCM patients. The left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) time velocity integral (VTI) is different between treatment in non-obstructive HCM patients. The maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) is different between treatments in non-obstructive HCM patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of mavacamten compared with placebo in participants with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM).

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important clinical sequela in patients with structural heart disease. VT generally occurs as a result of electrical re-entry in the presence of arrhythmogenic substrate (scar). Scar tissue forms due to an ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) from prior coronary obstructive disease or a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) from an inflammatory or genetic disease. AADs can reduce VT recurrence, but have significant limitations in treatment of VT. For example, amiodarone has high rates of side effects/toxicities and a finite effective usage before recurrence. ICDs prevent cardiac arrest and sudden death from VT, but do not stop VT occurring. Recurrent VT and ICD therapies decrease QOL, increase hospital visits, mortality, morbidity and risk of death. Improvement in techniques for mapping and ablation of VT have made CA an alternative. Currently, there is limited evidence to guide clinicians either toward AAD therapy or CA in patients with NICM. This data shows significant benefit of CA over medical therapy in terms of VT free survival, survival free of VT storm and VT burden. Observational studies suggest that CA is effective in eliminating VT in NICM patients who have failed AADs, resulting in reduction of VT burden and AAD use over long term follow up. Furthermore, there is limited data on the efficacy of CA in early ICM with VT, or advanced ICM with VT. RCT data is almost exclusively on patients with modest ICM with VT, and this is not representative of the real-world scenario of patients with structural heart disease presenting with VT. Therefore the primary objective is to determine in all patients with structural heart disease and spontaneous or inducible VT, if catheter ablation compared to standard medical therapy with anti-arrhythmic drugs results in a reduction of a composite endpoint of recurrent VT, VT storm and death at a median follow up of 18 months.

The purpose of this phase Ⅰ study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of HRS-1893 in healthy volunteers and patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, the safety and the efficacy of the transapical beating-heart myectomy for the treatment of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center study.

Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is an inherited cardiac condition which causes the heart muscle to become abnormally thick causing obstruction of blood flow in the heart. This causes debilitating symptoms including shortness of breath, blackouts and chest pain. Current treatments are not ideal as the medication is often poorly tolerated or ineffective. People with HOCM can often have an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) to shock them out of dangerous arrhythmias. ICD's can also be used as pacemakers and are a promising treatment option, since they can alter the sequence of the heart muscle contraction thereby relieving the obstruction to the blood flow, making it easier for the heart to pump. The study will recruit patients who already have an ICD/pacemaker or who are scheduled to have an ICD / pacemaker implanted. For patients who are due to have a device implanted we will use high precision haemodynamic, echocardiographic and electrical measurement techniques to assess whether adjusting the position of the pacing lead (at the time of implant) can bring about changes in LVOT gradient and blood pressure. These patients with a new device and also patients who already have a device in situ will then go on to have atrioventricular delay (AV Delay) optimisation so we can assess what the optimum AV delay should be programmed at in order to bring about the most improvement in LVOT gradient and blood pressure. Patients will then be recruited into a medium term double blinded randomised crossover study. They will have optimum RV pacing settings turned on for 3 months. They will then return and be crossed over and have optimum RV pacing turned off for a further 3 months. The primary outcome will be to see if optimum RV pacing being turned on is effective in improving symptoms and quality of life.

This clinical trial will study the effects of aficamten (versus placebo) on the quality of life, exercise capacity, and clinical outcomes of patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of aficamten (CK-3773274) compared with metoprolol succinate in adults with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction
