Active clinical trials for "Ischemia"

The study objective is to examine and compare clinical outcomes, as measured by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days (± 15 days) post treatment, and related performance characteristics of the Envi™-SR and concurrent parallel Control Devices currently cleared by the U.S. FDA for treatment of stroke.

The goal of this clinical trial is investigate the efficacy of a neuro/vascular-protective treatment with the drug Cerebrolysin in patients with acute ischemic stroke. starting immediately after completion of a EVT therapy. The main question the study aims to answer is: If a 10 days treatment with the neuro/vascularprotective drug Cerebrolysin (30 ml/day as intravenous infusion) is able to increase the overall outcome of EVT therapy? Participants will receive intravenous treatment with Cerebrolysin (30 ml/day) starting immediately after thrombolytic therapy and being continued for 10 consecutive days as one single daily infusion. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 90 days after onset of symptoms will be investigated, but also the improvement in other ratings as well as the time course of the improvement. In addition to the clinical outcome measures the study will assess neuroimaging perfusion CT-Perfusion parameters to evaluate possible direct improvement in microcirculation that might be an additional mechanism of action of cerebrolysin. CT-Perfusion being done immediately after EVT will provide ability to stratify the data according to non-favorable CT-Perfusion parameters after EVT versus favoravle.

The study investigates whether Cerebrolysin stabilizes blood-brain barrier integrity in a manner that can be monitored using serum levels of the principal tight junction proteins, e.g., occludin (OCL), claudin-5 (CLN), and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), or other molecules known to be involved in BBB degradation, e.g., S100B and whether it protects against hemorrhagic transformation in ischemic stroke patients after reperfusion therapy (i.e. thrombolysis and/or mechanical thrombectomy).

The Ischemia-IMT (Ischemia-Intensive Medical Treatment Reduces Events in Women with Non-Obstructive CAD), subtitle: Women's Ischemia Trial to Reduce Events in Non-Obstructive CAD (WARRIOR) trial is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded outcome evaluation (PROBE design) evaluating intensive statin/ACE-I (or ARB)/aspirin treatment (IMT) vs. usual care (UC) in 4,422 symptomatic women patients with symptoms and/or signs of ischemia but no obstructive CAD. The hypothesis is that IMT will reduce major adverse coronary events (MACE) 20% vs. UC. The primary outcome is first occurrence of MACE as death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) or hospitalization for heart failure or angina. Secondary outcomes include quality of life, time to "return to duty"/work, health resource consumption, angina, cardiovascular (CV) death and primary outcome components. Events will be adjudicated by an experienced Clinical Events Committee (CEC). Follow-up will be 3-years using 50 sites: primarily VA and Active Duty Military Hospitals/Clinics and a National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) clinical data research network (CDRN)(OneFlorida Consortium). This study is being conducted to determine whether intensive medication treatment to modify risk factors and vascular function in women patients with coronary arteries showing no flow limit obstruction but with cardiac symptoms (i.e., chest pain, shortness of breath) will reduce the patient's likelihood of dying, having a heart attack, stroke/TIA or being hospitalized for cardiac reasons. The results will provide evidence data necessary to inform future guidelines regarding how best to treat this growing population of patients, and ultimately improve the patient's cardiac health and quality of life and reduce health-care costs.

RESILIENT is a phase II, multi-center, prospective, pragmatic randomized clinical trial with blinded assessment of the primary endpoint. This study aims to evaluate whether mHealth-CR improves functional capacity in older adults (age ≥65) with IHD compared with standard traditional cardiac rehabilitation care. A total of 400 eligible patients will be randomized in 3:1 manner to mHealth-CR versus usual care for assessment of primary endpoint. Enrollment will occur over approximately 42 months with an expected minimum of 3 months follow-up per participant.

This is a pilot randomized control trial (RCT) to explore the possible beneficial effect of a novel combination therapy consisting of molecular hydrogen H2 plus minocycline ("H2M"), on neurological recovery after acute ischemic stroke.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy is a dramatic perinatal complication due to brain asphyxia. Neurological and neurosensory sequelae are frequent in survivors, due to neuronal damage and loss. Currently, only total or partial body hypothermia can partially prevent cell loss. However, no treatment exists to restore neuronal functions. Cord blood stem cells are a promising treatment for the near future. The primary objective of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of a curative treatment with autologous cord blood stem cell in neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. The secondary objectives are to test the efficacy of this curative treatment with cell with neurogenic potential on the prevention of neurologic sequelae, as well as to test the optimum timing of cell preparation administration

This is an initial Phase1/2 dose-finding, randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NCS-01 in patients with acute ischemic stroke. All patients will be randomized within 48 hours of stroke onset. This study will be conducted in 2 stages.

The investigators propose a robust therapeutic intervention to ameliorate myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury and significantly decrease morbidity and mortality in patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), by direct injection of autogeneic mitochondria into the ischemic myocardium.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of single injection of it-hMSC in patients with ischemic stroke in a multicenter, blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial
