XIENCE 28 USA Study
Bleeding DisorderIschemic Stroke7 moreThe XIENCE 28 USA Study is prospective, single arm, multi-center, open label, non-randomized trial to evaluate safety of 1-month (as short as 28 days) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in subjects at high risk of bleeding (HBR) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the approved XIENCE family (XIENCE Xpedition Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System [EECSS], XIENCE Alpine EECSS and XIENCE Sierra EECSS) of coronary drug-eluting stents.
Efficacy and Safety Study of Ezetimibe (SCH 58235, MK-0653) in Addition to Atorvastatin in Participants...
HypercholesterolemiaThe overall objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ezetimibe (SCH 058235/MK-0653) 10 mg administered daily in conjunction with atorvastatin in participants with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) or in participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) or multiple cardiovascular risk factors (≥2 risk factors) and primary hypercholesterolemia not controlled by a starting dose (10 mg/day) of atorvastatin. The primary hypothesis is that the coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg/day with atorvastatin therapy will result in a significantly greater proportion of participants achieving target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (≤100 mg/dL) when compared to the atorvastatin administered alone.
Ticagrelor China Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Study
Stable Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)open label, single centre, randomised, Phase IV, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety study to evaluate single and multiple doses of 45, 60, and 90 mg of ticagrelor in Chinese patients with stable coronary heart disease
The Effects of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Its Intervention on Coronary Heart Disease
HypertensionMetabolic DisorderObstructive sleep apnea(OSA) is an important identifiable cause of hypertension. Previous study has suggested that OSA significantly increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.The standardized treatment of moderate/severe OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Most of short-term trials indicated that CPAP treatment reduced BP in patients with OSA. But relevant studies have a relative short duration with only but few more than one year. In our opinion, they are not sufficient to detect the real effect of CPAP on reduction in BP. Besides, the impact of OSA on metabolic disorder is still unclear.We hypothesized that long-term CPAP treatment could reduce blood pressure and improve metabolic disorder in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD)and OSA.
Absorb IV Randomized Controlled Trial
Coronary Artery DiseaseCoronary Artery Stenosis2 moreABSORB 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 Gentle Cardiac Rehabilitation Study
Secondary Prevention of Coronary Heart DiseaseThe 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.
Study of the Vascular Effects of Serelaxin
Coronary Artery DiseaseThis was a mechanistic study in patients with coronary artery disease on the effects of Serelaxin on micro- and macrovascular function.
AVJ-301 Clinical Trial: A Clinical Evaluation of AVJ-301 (Absorb™ BVS) in Japanese Population
Coronary Artery DiseaseMyocardial IschemiaProspective, 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.
Pharmacodynamic Effects of Prasugrel Compared With Ticagrelor in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease...
Coronary Artery DiseaseRecently, 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.
Effects of Exercise in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Aged 80 Years or Older
Coronary Artery DiseaseThe 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.
