Active clinical trials for "Cardiomyopathies"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a larger dose of the aldosterone antagonist spironolactone combined with a lower dose of an ACE inhibitor is more effective in reverse left ventricular remodeling in severe congestive heart failure in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

In this prospective cohort study the investigators aim to evaluate the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation on sleep quality. Disturbed sleep is associated with, frequent exacerbations, increase in the severity of disease and increased mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Sleep quality is a good predictor of quality of life in patients with stable COPD. However, there has been little investigation into non-pharmacological methods to improve sleep quality in patients with COPD and heart failure. It is also uncertain, how long the beneficial effects of cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation on sleep quality, if any, usually last. Due to lack of robust data, the investigators sought to find the effect of cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation on sleep quality.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential, 5-day treatment, ascending dose study in subjects with obstructive HCM aged 18-70 years. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CT-G20.

This project aims to investigate cardiac function in patients with cirrhosis in the acute setting. Acute decompensation and acute-on-chronic liver failure are major events in the life of a patient as they herald disease progression and negative prognosis. Cardiocirculatory function will be assessed by serial assessments in patients admitted for acute decompensation of cirrhosis.

This is a Phase 1/2, multinational, open-label, ascending-dose, delayed-treatment concurrent control clinical study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of AT342 in subjects with Crigler-Najjar aged ≥1 year. Subjects will receive a single dose of AT342 and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 5 years.

When a patient is newly diagnosed of systolic dysfunction without obvious etiology (such as rhythmic, ischemic, or valvular disease), most of the time a coronary angiography is performed. In this situation, the investigators aim to evaluate a strategy with CMR as the front line exam, and invasive coronary angiography performed only in case of ischemic scar on CMR

The purpose of this phase 1/2 clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic human umbilical cordstroma derived multipotent stem cells (hUCS-MSCs) in myocardial infarction (MI). All subjects will be taken into the bypass coronary surgery prior to the cell administration. This 2-year study comprise three independent groups, where the first group (n=20) will take no cells, second group will take autologous BM-MNCs (n=20), and third group (n=39) will be receiving allogeneic hUCS-MSCs. In all transplantations cells will be administered to the approximately 10 peri-infarct areas at one time. The infarct zone will be determined by the MR, SPECT and PET imaging. Only male subjects between 30-80 years of age. The efficiency of the therapy will be evaluated according to the parameters measured by MR, SPECT, and Echocardiography. All subject were taken into those measurements prior and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the operation.

Clinical trial phase IIb, double-blind, randomized, controlled with placebo. There is sufficient preliminary evidence to consider intracoronary injection of bone marrow progenitor cells as a viable, safe and beneficial treatment in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, although the biological mechanism of action of bone marrow cells in the myocardium is not known. In this project we propose to investigate comparatively and from a biological and clinical point of view the applicability of regenerative therapy with autologous bone marrow cells in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of eleclazine (GS-6615) on exercise capacity as measured by Peak oxygen uptake (VO2) achieved during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), in participants with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a 10 week program of Stress Management versus control Patient Education sessions on cardiac responses to mental stress in veterans with Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
