Filter by:The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a new non-invasive ultrasound therapy (NIUT) with Valvosoft in the treatment of Calified Aortic Stenosis
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics PD) of multiple ascending doses of INZ-701, an ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) recombinant fusion protein, for the treatment of ABCC6 Deficiency. The goal of the study is to identify a dose regimen for further clinical development in the treatment of ABCC6 Deficiency.
The goal of this study is to determine whether hemodialysis with citrate slows the progression of vascular calcification. Participants will be dialyzed with one of two standard dialysis solutions, one with and one without citrate, for 12 months and then switched to the other solution for 12 months. Vascular calcification will be measured on mammograms that will be performed at 6-month intervals and additional blood samples will be obtained at 6-month intervals.
The overarching objective is to evaluate the relationship between diet and coronary artery calcification in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). We will recruit adults with HeFH. They will have to complete questionnaires on diet, medication and lifestyle. Coronary artery calcification will be measured in each patient using a CT scan. Physiological and biochemical data will be collected.
This early phase I pilot trial studies how well 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging work in localizing and characterizing breast calcifications (small calcium deposits) in participants before undergoing mastectomy. Diagnostic procedures, such 64Cu-DOTA-alendronate PET, may detect calcification and help doctors predict cancer associated calcification within breast tissue.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center feasibility clinical study of the Tendyne Mitral Valve System for the treatment of eligible subjects with symptomatic, severe mitral regurgitation and severe mitral annular calcification (MAC). Subjects satisfying the study inclusion/exclusion criteria will undergo a procedure to implant the Tendyne mitral valve replacement device.
Systemic sclerosis is a rare pathology characterized by fibrosis and vascular lesion with skin, pulmonary, digestive and cardiac localisation. Calcinosis cutis is commonly described, but its prevalence and appear few documented in literature. Moreover, this studies used clinical observation to determine presence or absence of calcification, and rarely radiography, in particular for feet localisation. In the same way, skin calcification and organ injury association appear unclear. The aim of the study is firstly to determine prevalence of calcinosis cutis, with hand and feet radiography realisation in a cohort of systemic sclerosis patient. Secondly, will be determine the correlation between calcinosis and organ injury.
Aim: To investigate whether cholecalciferol (4800 U/daily) or placebo for 16 weeks reduces proteins levels associated with vascular calcification (osteoprotegerin, osteopontin, osteocalcin) in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis and 25(OH) vitamin D deficiency.
The blood concentration of the protein RANKL could be predictive of the calcification of the leg arteries, which is a major complication occurring during diabetes. The objective of the DIACART study is to show that blood RANKL concentration predict the progression of calcification of the leg arteries in diabetic patients, independently of other cardiovascular risk factors.
The aims of the present study are to investigate the effect of vitamin K2 on bone turnover, bone mass, bone structure, glucose metabolism, and arteriosclerosis. Osteoporosis, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease are common diseases that affect large groups of people in the Western world. Our hypotheses is that vitamin K2 (MK-7) reduces undercarboxylated osteocalcin in postmenopausal women and reduces bone turnover and increases bone mineral density; increases insulin sensitivity and decreases indices of arterial calcification.
