NCT00557921
The purpose of the COGENT-1 clinical trial is to determine whether CGT-2168 (clopidogrel and omeprazole) compared to clopidogrel is safe and effective in reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding and symptomatic ulcer disease, in the setting of concomitant aspirin therapy. Antiplatelet therapy is an essential element of care for patients with atherothrombotic disease. Bleeding is a fundamental adverse effect of all antiplatelet drugs including aspirin, clopidogrel and dual antiplatelet regimens. The gastrointestinal tract is the most common site of bleeding related to antiplatelet therapy, typically in connection with peptic ulcer disease. Recently published studies suggest the use of clopidogrel carries a gastrointestinal bleeding risk similar to that of aspirin or non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Patients taking any two of these drugs (clopidogrel, aspirin and/or non-aspirin NSAIDs) are exposed to an even higher risk of bleeding and ulcer disease. Cogentus Pharmaceuticals is launching phase 3 trials of a novel combination product, CGT-2168, which has the potential to significantly reduce this problem and increase patient safety. CGT-2168 combines a standard dosage of clopidogrel and a gastroprotectant (omeprazole) in a once-daily pill that may reduce the likelihood of adverse gastrointestinal events.
NCT00568009
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, sequential cohort study in subjects with congestive heart failure (CHF) and impaired renal function who are on stable furosemide treatment (³ 40 mg daily). A total of 50 subjects will be randomized to each increasing dose level of SLV320 or placebo in a sequential fashion.
NCT00289302
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. In certain heart failure cases, when the two lower chambers of the heart no longer beat in a coordinated manner, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be prescribed. CRT is similar to a pacemaker. It is placed (implanted) under the skin of the upper chest. CRT is delivered as tiny electrical pulses to the right and left ventricles through three or four leads (soft insulated wires) that are inserted through the veins to the heart. People who have a dangerously fast heart beat, or whose heart is at risk of stopping beating, may be in need of an electronic device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). An ICD is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area and it sends a strong electrical impulse, or shock, to the heart to return it to a normal rhythm. If the heart is beating too slowly or at an abnormal rhythm, an ICD can also pace the heart to return the heart to its normal rhythm. The InSync ICD device can change the timing of when the left and right ventricles of the heart are paced to beat. The purpose of this study is to monitor the long-term performance of the InSync ICD Model 7272 and the InSync Marquis 7277 systems for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
NCT00839007
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of IV administration of CD-NP and the dose relationship of CD-NP on improvement of clinical symptoms and renal function in ADHF patients.
NCT00673075
This study is being done to see if the blood pressure lowering effect of an approved drug nebivolol is comparable to that of another approved drug carvedilol for the treatment of hypertension in patients who have coronary artery disease.
NCT00206856
To determine the clinical utility of using the Triage® BNP Test to guide therapy in outpatients with heart failure
NCT00132886
This study will look at how a single dose of study medication (tolvaptan) versus an inactive sugar pill (placebo) effect pressures in the heart in patients with congestive heart failure. Higher than normal pressures can be related to symptoms of heart failure (shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.).
NCT00455546
The study will be conducted at up to 80 centers worldwide and will be a double-blind randomized parallel group placebo controlled study among subjects with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo tablets or one of 4 orally active doses of A-002. The duration of study drug therapy will be 8 weeks.
NCT00054678
The MyoCell™ implantation using the MyoCath™ delivery catheter system may have the potential to add a new dimension to the management of post-infarct deterioration of cardiac function in subjects with congestive heart failure. Based on pre-clinical studies, implantation of autologous skeletal myoblasts may lead to replacement of non-functioning myocardial scar with functioning muscle and improvement in myocardial performance. Preliminary data in human subjects suggest skeletal myoblast implantation at the time of CABG may lead to the same effects. In principal, myoblast implantation by catheter delivery may offer the same therapeutic benefit. The present clinical study is to be conducted primarily to evaluate the safety of MyoCell™ implantation using the MyoCath™ delivery system and secondarily to evaluate the effect on regional myocardial function post treatment.
NCT00990964
The purpose of the study is to assess lead implant success and complication rate using the Medtronic Attain Family of left-heart leads and delivery catheters.
NCT00371423
TAXUS ATLAS Direct Stent is a global, multi-center, single-arm, noninferiority trial comparing results from patients in whom the TAXUS Liberté stent was directly implanted (direct stenting) versus results from patients in whom implantation with the TAXUS Liberté stent was preceded by balloon angioplasty (pre-dilatation). The Control group consists of patients in the main TAXUS ATLAS trial, in which pre-dilatation was mandatory. The primary objective is to compare outcomes of direct stenting with balloon catheter pre-dilatation. The primary hypothesis is that late outcomes with direct stenting of the TAXUS™ Liberté Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System will be non-inferior to conventional implantation with balloon catheter pre-dilatation
NCT00371709
TAXUS ATLAS is a global, multi-center, single-arm, non-inferiority trial comparing results from patients treated with the TAXUS Liberté stent to an historical TAXUS Express control. The control group is a case-matched, blended population of TAXUS Express patients from the TAXUS IV and TAXUS V de novo clinical trials. The objective of the study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of TAXUS Liberté-SR stent in de novo lesions and to assess the non-inferiority of TAXUS Liberté versus TAXUS Express. The TAXUS Liberté-SR stent is hypothesized to have comparable safety and efficacy to the TAXUS Express stent.
NCT00785954
