(PREDICT) A Multi-Center Study in Patients Undergoing Anthracycline-Based Chemotherapy to Assess the Effectiveness of Using Biomarkers to Detect and Identify Cardiotoxicity and Describe Treatment
Over the past 2 decades, there has been a significant increase in life span of patients with cancer so that now, there are more than 10 million cancer survivors in the U.S. [1]. There is a growing recognition that although survival has improved, many long-term side effects including cardiac complications …
UPCC 34810 The Cardiovascular Effects of Sunitinib Therapy: Off-Target Changes in Cardiac Metabolism and Ventricular-Vascular Mechanics (CREST)
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sunitinib are used in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and have significant off-target effects with cardiac toxicity and resultant ventricular cardiac dysfunction being a major concern. However, the mechanisms of these effects in humans remains poorly defined, as are the clinical methods to risk …
GENETICS MECHANISMS AND CLINICAL PHENOTYPES OF ARRHYTHMOGENIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
The well-established, consistent and precise phenotyping developed in the previous ARVC Registry (and published as the Modified Task Force Criteria), with a comprehensive primary genotyping approach, search for genetic modifiers, and biomarker analysis will fulfill the long-term goals of this proposal to identify the genetic basis of all forms of …
A Phase II Randomized Double-Blind Multicenter Multinational Placebo-Controlled Parallel-Groups Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Intramuscular Injections of Allogeneic PLX-PAD Cells for the Treatment of Subjects with Intermittent Claudication (IC)
In this research study an investigational product called PLX-PAD will be tested to see if it helps claudication. PLX-PAD is made up of mesenchymal-like stromal cells (MSCs), which are similar to stem cells. These cells come from a human placenta (afterbirth) from chosen female donor volunteers. From animal experiments it …
Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial (CIRT): A randomized double-blind placebo controlled event-driven trial of weekly low-dose methotrexate (LDM) in the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events among stable post-myocardial infarction patients with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome
This is an event-driven, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to determine whether methotrexate reduces heart attacks, strokes, or death in people who have already had at least one heart attack and have type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is defined as a combination of problems including a large …
Safety of Oral Anticoagulation Therapy Withdrawal after Successful Pulmonary Vein Antrum Isolation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Associated High Risk Factors for Embolic Events (OAT Pilot Study)
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of stopping oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) in patients who have undergone a successful ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. A successful ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation is defined by the protocol as being arrhythmia free 3 months after the procedure. The …
A Randomized OPen-label Active controlled Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Safety of Rivaroxaban and Vitamin K Antagonists in Subjects Undergoing Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
In order to achieve 200 per-protocol subjects, approximately 250 eligible subjects, age 18 years or older, with a history of paroxysmal or persistent NVAF who are scheduled to undergo an elective catheter ablation procedure will randomize in a 1:1 ratio to receive either rivaroxaban 20 mg orally, once-daily, preferably administered …
Clinical Evaluation of the Blazer Open-Irrigated Ablation Catheter for the Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this research study is to determine how safe and effective the investigational device is when compared to what is currently FDA approved. The device under study is the Blazer Open-Irrigated Catheter. The catheter is used to treat patients who have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and have major inclusion …
Attain StarFix Model 4195 LV Lead Extraction Study
The purpose of this study is to characterize the removability of the Attain StarFix®Model 4195 Left Ventricular (LV) Lead (StarFix®). The goal of the trial is to evaluate the lead removal success in patients that are indicated for left ventricular lead removal. This study is required by the Food and …
Medtronic Evaluation of Multi-Electrode Phased RF Technology in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
The study is expected to be conducted at approximately 40 centers located in Europe, Canada and the United States to support US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marketing application. A maximum of 350 subjects will be enrolled in the study to ensure 300 subjects can be evaluated for the primary …
