Active clinical trials for "Coronary Disease"

As a result of the implementation of Protocol Am3.0, the design and objective of the NEVO II trial were changed to focus on the safety follow-up of the 103 NEVO™ subjects. Although this trial started interventional, the remainder of the study will be observational. The objective of this prospective, observational study is to ensure the safety and the wellbeing of subjects treated with the NEVO™ SES.

The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To demonstrate if torcetrapib/atorvastatin can reduce the risk for major cardiovascular disease events, when compared to atorvastatin alone, in patients with coronary heart disease or risk equivalents

To determine the natural history of atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and hypertension in children and adults from birth through mid-life in a total biracial community.

To determine the extent to which known risk factors predict coronary heart disease and stroke in the elderly, to assess the precipitants of coronary heart disease and stroke in the elderly, and to identify the predictors of mortality and functional impairments in clinical coronary disease or stroke.

Drug eluting stents (DES) are widely used for treatment of coronary artery lesions. The Xience Sierra stent has a refined design of the metal stent backbone and is used in patients with various clinical syndromes and in different lesions. Clinical outcome of patients with previously unknown (silent) diabetes and prediabetes is of increasing interest since the latter group has recently shown to be associated with a significant risk of adverse cardiovascular events after treatment with contemporary DES. Outcome data in a population of high-risk all-comer patients, including many patients with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes, would be of great interest, but such data are not available yet. In addition, there is a lack of data in a general all-comer population. Therefore, the COASTLINE study will primarily assess the safety and efficacy of the Xience Sierra stent in a general all-comer population as well as a high-risk all-comer population.

Based on the clinical data of patients, a machine learning model for coronary heart disease diagnosis was established to evaluate whether the model could improve the accuracy of coronary heart disease diagnosis, and to evaluate its authenticity, reliability and benefits.

Drug-eluting stents (DES) have long been recommended as the default device for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty is similar to plain old balloon angioplasty procedurally, but there is an anti-proliferative medication paclitaxel-coated on the balloon. DCB angioplasty has the following advantages compared to DES implantation: Firstly, the drug in DCB is uniformly distributed and released, whereas the drug release of DES via the stent platform is uneven -85% of the vascular wall is not covered by the stent strut. Secondly, there is no alloy in the vessel after DCB angioplasty, while the coronary stent platform and polymer might cause temporal or persistent inflammatory response leading to intimal hyperplasia. Finally, there is no metal cage restraining vessel motion after DCB, and the physiological function of coronary arteries would be maintained. Currently, DCB constitutes an important treatment option in ISR, which is endorsed by the 2018 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on myocardial revascularization. In addition, some interventional cardiologist has also applied DCB in de novo lesions in their clinical practice. Diabetes is associated with worse outcomes after coronary revascularization and has been identified as an independent predictor of adverse events in patients with cardiovascular disease. Although some small sample size RCTs and observational studies have suggested that the clinical prognosis of DCB is non-inferior to the drug-eluting stent (DES), there is still a lack of evidence comparing the DCB versus DES for de novo or ISR coronary lesions in diabetic patients. The current study aims to compare the long-term efficacy of DCB to DES in de novo or ISR coronary lesions in diabetic patients.

Comparatively analyze the safety and validity of Amplazter Cardiac Plug (ACP) device-using percutaneous left atrial appendage closure, and the medical treatment with dabigatran plus aspirin or dabigatran plus clopidogrel after 3months triple therapy (Dabigatran plus DAPT (dual-antiplatelet therapy)) in patient with coronary artery disease treated with drug-eluting stent, accompanying atrial fibrillation. Total of 670 patients [left atrial appendage occlusion registry with 100 ACP/ 570 anti-coagulation registry: (285 Dabigatran plus aspirin) and (285 Dabigatran plus clopidogrel) therapy)] will be comparatively analyzed the safety and efficacy. Primary endpoints were a composite of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, systemic embolism, and GUSTO bleeding (moderate to severe).

The registry will investigate the clinical performance and long-term safety of Magmaris in a real world setting

The DECREASE-PCI trial is a prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind, phase 4 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of triple anti-platelet therapy compared with dual antiplatelet therapy in patients treated with DES for Coronary Artery Disease. The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of triple antiplatelet therapy versus dual (standard) antiplatelet therapy in patients treated with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for the treatment of coronary artery disease.
