Active clinical trials for "Coronary Restenosis"

The PACCOCATH ISR study is a randomized, double-blinded German multicenter trial on the efficacy and tolerance of a paclitaxel coated balloon catheter in coronary in-stent restenosis.

The purpose of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of the Danubio Paclitaxel Eluting Balloon for the treatment of In-Stent Restenosis lesions in native coronary arteries.

This study is divided into 5 arms: Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT): Prospective, randomized, active-controlled, single blind, parallel two-arm multi-center clinical trial in the United States (US) comparing XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (CSS) (2.5, 3.0, 3.5 mm diameter stents) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved commercially available active control TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent (TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ PECS) System US 2.25 mm non-randomized arm using 2.25 mm diameter XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS US 4.0 mm non-randomized arm using 4.0 mm diameter XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS US 38 mm non-randomized arm using 38 mm in length XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS Japanese non-randomized arm using XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 mm diameter stents) in Japan The TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System is Manufactured by Boston Scientific.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ZoMaxx drug-eluting stent in patients with blockage of native coronary arteries. The study is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority to the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent that has proven superior to bare metal stents and is a recognized standard of care.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AVJ-09-385 Small Vessel Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) (2.25 mm diameter stent) in treatment of subjects with ischemic heart disease caused by de novo lesions.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Rapamycin- and Zotarolimus-Eluting stents for the reduction of Coronary Restenosis

Despite recent advances in interventional cardiology including the success of drug-eluting stents in de-novo coronary lesions, the treatment of in-stent restenosis remains a challenging clinical issue. Given the efficacy of the systemic sirolimus administration to prevent neointimal hyperplasia in animal models and to halt and even reverse the progression of allograft vasculopathy, the aim of the present double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to evaluate the efficacy of a 10-day oral sirolimus treatment with two different loading regimens for the prevention of recurrent restenosis in patients with in-stent restenosis.

Coronary artery disease is a process that results in "hardening of the arteries". When the arteries that supply blood and oxygen to your heart muscle become clogged or narrowed, a heart attack may result, or you may feel chest discomfort (angina) - sometimes even while resting. One approach to treating this condition is a balloon procedure known as coronary angioplasty. The major limitation of coronary angioplasty is renarrowing of the artery (restenosis) in the first six months following the procedure requiring either repeat angioplasty or referral for bypass surgery. Patients with diabetes have always been identified as having higher rates of restenosis and poor outcomes following angioplasty, despite some important scientific advances. We think that the level of blood sugar control at the time of angioplasty and in the following months may be related to the extent of restenosis. We expect that a reduction in blood sugar with insulin may, in turn, reduce the restenosis process and improve your long-term outcome.

The PACCOCATH ISR II study is a randomized, double-blinded German multicenter trial on the efficacy and tolerance of a paclitaxel coated balloon catheter in coronary in-stent restenosis.

The process of re-narrowing of a coronary artery following a revascularization procedure such as angioplasty, begins at the time of the procedure. Restenosis has long been considered a major problem for effective long-term interventional success. This often results in repeated procedures to deal with recurrent stenosis (or restenosis) of the original targeted vessel. There is a substantial body of literature suggesting that local MYC protein production in the injured coronary artery is a major stimulus and potential cause of restenosis that appears after stent placement. This study is based upon the hypothesis that stopping MYC protein production in the vessel will help reduce restenosis (vessel re-narrowing). AVI BioPharma Inc., has utilized its proprietary antisense chemistry to design a drug that interferes with MYC production. This study will evaluate the safety and potential effectiveness of RESTEN-MP to reduce in-stent restenosis following balloon angioplasty and stent placement. The post-dose follow-up period is up to six-months. RESTEN-MP is administered at the time a stent is successfully placed in a coronary artery, and again 24 hours later, via slow-push intravenous administration.
