Safety and Efficacy Study of the DANUBIO Paclitaxel Eluting Balloon in Side Branches of de Novo...
Coronary DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Danubio Paclitaxel Eluting Balloon for the treatment of side branches of de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries.
Effect of ACP-501 on Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Subjects With...
Coronary Artery DiseaseAtherosclerosisThis study is a phase 1, intravenous, open-label, single-dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ACP-501 (recombinant human Lecithin Cholesterol Acyl Transferase (rhLCAT)) in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD). Four cohorts consisting of 4 subjects each will receive one dose of ACP-501. The dose will be escalated by cohort.
Comparison of Drug Eluting Balloon and Drug Eluting Stent
Coronary Artery DiseaseStable Angina2 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Drug-Eluting Balloon first and then bare metal stent compared with drug-eluting stent for treatment of de novo lesions (DEB first).
Extracorporeal Cardiac Shock Wave Therapy (CSWT) for Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) for the treatment of severe coronary artery disease (CAD) in a Chinese cohort.
Effects of Vildagliptin/Metformin Combination on Markers of Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Inflammation...
Type 2 Diabetes MellitusIschemic Heart DiseaseThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate that combined vildagliptin-metformin therapy is associated with clinically significant reductions in biological markers of inflammation, pro-thrombogenicity, and atherosclerosis as compared to metformin mono-therapy in a population of diabetic patients with coronary artery disease who undergo cardiac rehabilitation. The pre-specified established biological markers of inflammation, pro-thrombogenicity, and atherosclerosis will include: interleukin-6 (IL-6 - primary biological marker), hs-CRP, platelet reactivity testing, MMP-9, Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) and adiponectin levels.
Slowing HEART diSease With Lifestyle and Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Coronary Heart DiseaseMetabolic SyndromeThe purpose of the study is to target inflammation to reduce progression of noncalcified plaque in the coronary arteries using omega-3 fatty acid supplementation compared to standard of care.
Randomized Trial of Coronary Angioplasty for de Novo Lesions in sMall vesSElS With Drug Eluting...
Coronary DiseaseSignificant lesions in small coronary arteries are frequently found (35%-50%) in patients with coronary artery disease. Independently of the type of coronary angioplasty the restenosis and the need for repeat revascularization remains the main limitation, representing a challenging problem even in the DES (drug eluting stent) era. Recently has been developed drug eluting balloons (DEBs), which have been successfully tested in small series on in-stent restenosis, but few evidence is available in the context of small vessels disease. The current study has been designed to know, in one hand, the clinical efficacy of the Drug elluting balloon IN.PACT FALCON and, in other hand, the effectiveness, and the cost-effectiveness incremental analysis of DEBs (IN.PACT FALCON vs. DES ( RESOLUTE INTEGRITY) in patients with de novo lesions in small vessels.
