NCT ID: NCT04972279 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Risk Factor

Precision Assignment of Intervention Messages to Promote Physical Activity - Precision AIM

Start date: January 2, 2022
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Our goal is to develop personalized decision rules for selecting the frequency, timing, and content of messages to promote physical activity. The objective of this project is to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of two strategies for calibrating decision rules used to send those messages. Participants will wear an activity monitor for the collection of PA data and be randomly assigned to one of two adaptive intervention strategies. The decision rule for each participant will be refined on a monthly basis throughout the 6-month study based upon the accumulating data on how each participant is responding to different messages under different conditions. Our hypothesis is that more intensive intervention strategies will offer a better user experience because the resulting treatments will be experienced as more personalized.

NCT ID: NCT04806893 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Study of Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of LIB003 in CVD or High Risk for CVD Patients Needing Further LDL-C Reduction

LIBerate-HR
Start date: April 22, 2021
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study is to assess LDL-C reductions at Week 52 with monthly (Q4W [≤31 days]) dosing of LIB003 (lerodalcibep) 300 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) compared to placebo in patients with CVD, or at high risk for CVD, on a stable diet and oral LDL-C lowering drug therapy

NCT ID: NCT04763772 Active, not recruiting - Type 2 Diabetes Clinical Trials

Clinical Effectiveness of Body Fat Distribution Imaging in Real-World Practice: The BODY-REAL Study

BODY-REAL
Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall goal is to determine the real-world feasibility and utility of body fat imaging using rapid MRI to enhance risk perception, induce behavioral change, and improve clinical outcomes in overweight and obese individuals. Here, the investigators will perform a pragmatic clinical effectiveness pilot trial using a 2x2 factorial design to test the hypothesis that provision of a detailed individualized visual report of body fat distribution directly to patients will translate into changes in patient risk perception, behavior, and improved clinical outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT04743856 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

The Clinical Referral to Activity Study

Start date: March 29, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main aim of this effort is to test a physical activity intervention, for adult clinical care patients at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The intervention includes social-cognitive theory-based sessions, remote coaching, a body worn physical activity tracker (PAT), and is delivered online over one year. The investigators hypothesis that this intervention will be more successful at increasing physical activity (defined as objectively measured step counts and % of individuals meeting the moderate-vigorous physical activity goal) as an active control group who receives a body worn PAT and information on the CDC activity recommendations. The proposed intervention will be aligned with efforts by the US Centers for Disease Control to increase population physical activity levels and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to increase physical activity prescription in primary care.

NCT ID: NCT04731363 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Risk Factor

Consumption of Oral Artificial Sweeteners on Platelet Aggregation and Polyol Excretion

COSETTE
Start date: March 10, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The principal goal for the study is to examine whether ingestion of a beverage containing artificial sweeteners alters in vitro platelet aggregation. Because of the increasing number of cardiometabolic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, in the population, the use of artificial sweeteners to replace free sugars has been gaining popularity. Two popular artificial sweeteners are erythritol and xylitol. Erythritol and xylitol are both naturally occurring polyols found in fruits and vegetables. They are potent artificial sweeteners with a higher sweetening intensity and lower calorie content than table sugar. Previous research has shown that the higher levels of sugar alcohols, like those used as artificial sweeteners, in the blood are related to a higher risk of cardiovascular complications, like heart attacks and strokes, and death. This may be because higher levels of sugar alcohols in one's blood may increase the activity of platelets, which would then increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. The investigators therefore want to find if consuming a single beverage that contains an artificial sweetener can raise the levels of sugar alcohols in the blood and if it can alter platelet function or aggregation.

Mediterranean Enriched Diet for Tackling Youth Obesity

MED4Youth
Start date: May 25, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The prevalence of obesity is one of the main public health problems worldwide, reaching 18% among young people between 5 and 19 years of age in 2016. One possibility of effective treatment can be the Mediterranean diet (MD). Therefore, it is proposed to carry out a nutritional intervention based on this diet to more effectively reduce obesity in adolescents. The main purpose of this multicentre study is to assess whether an energy-restricted Mediterranean-style diet (MD) intervention including healthy products from the Mediterranean basin (mixed nuts, pomegranate and hummus) and sourdough bread is more effective against obesity and associated CVD risk factors than a conventional low-fat diet carrying out a multicentre nutritional and clinical intervention study specifically targeting obese/overweight adolescents (13-17y) from different Mediterranean countries; all combined with an educational web-application designed to encourage healthy behaviours. It is a multicenter, randomized, controlled intervention study conducted with adolescents with obesity/overweight ≥90 percentile who do not suffer from any chronic disease. 240 subjects will be recruited from three Mediterranean countries: Italy (Parma), Portugal (Coimbra) and Spain (Reus), specifically 80 participants per country, 40 adolescents as an intervention group and 40 as a control group, in Reus. The intervention study is scheduled to begin in January 2021. The intervention group will receive a diet based on the characteristics of MD, and will be reinforced with satisfying and healthy Mediterranean foods such as sourdough bread (2 servings of 50-60g / day), squeezed pomegranate (4 servings of 200ml / week), hummus/chickpeas (2 portions of chickpeas of 150-200g / week, one in hummus format) and mixed nuts (4 servings of 30g / week); and the control group will receive a recommended diet based on the consumption of low-fat foods. A caloric restriction of 20% of the total energy requirements will be applied to both groups in adolescents with BMI ≥95 percentile (obesity) and a caloric restriction <20% of the total energy requirements will be applied in adolescents with BMI ≥90 to <95th percentile according to overweight (gender/age / physical activity). The diet will be applied for 4 months in both groups. Adolescents from both groups will be given a motivational interview and will be provided with an educational website that will be used during the intervention, through which they will learn.

Southampton Women's Survey

SWS
Start date: April 6, 1998
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Southampton Women's Survey was established to assess the influence of factors operating before conception and during pregnancy on the health and development of the offspring. 12,583 non-pregnant young women were recruited, and 3,158 were followed through pregnancy, with their offspring followed-up at 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6-7, 8-9 and 12-13 years. The 17-19 year follow-up has been piloted and is about to start.

NCT ID: NCT04693884 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Risk Factor

Cannabis Inhalation: Effects on Cardiovascular Function During Rest and Exercise

Start date: September 1, 2021
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This two-phase project seeks to examine the cardiovascular response to consumption of cannabis variants of different cannabinoid composition through different methods (smoking vs. vaporizing), at rest and during aerobic exercise. Multiple measures that have been shown to predict risk factors for chronic-disease and negative health outcomes will be assessed following cannabis consumption at rest or in combination with exercise. These techniques will examine arterial stiffness, vascular function, and cardiac function. In phase I and II, subjects will visit the lab on 6 different occasions; with 1 visit acting as an introductory visit, 1 as an exercise control visit, 2 as resting cannabis visits, and 2 as cannabis + exercise visits. Cannabis used in phase I of this study will consist of approximately 10% THC. On all visits, pulse wave velocity, flow mediated dilation, and echocardiography measures will be performed following cannabis consumption by smoking or vaporizing, and cannabis consumption by smoking or vaporizing followed by 20 minutes of exercise on a cycle ergometer. Phase II of the study will implore a similar design. In favor of altering method of consumption, in all visits cannabis will be consumed by vaporization and will be either a high cannabidiol (CBD: (~10%)) and low delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC: (<1%)), or a high THC (~10%) and low CBD (<1%) variant.

NCT ID: NCT04471636 Active, not recruiting - Covid-19 Clinical Trials

Telemedicine in Outpatient Covid-19 Patients

COVID-SMART
Start date: September 18, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Covid-19, a commonly severe respiratory tract infection caused by the SARS-CoV2 Coronavirus, poses an increasing threat to individual health and health care systems. The individual disease course ranges from mild to life threatening, the pandemic spread leads to a shortage of health care resources including intensive care availability. It should be the overarching goal to allocate sparse health care resources to those most at need and to simultaneously avoid unnecessary blocking of resources by clinically unjustified hospitalizations. Individuals with preexisting cardiovascular conditions are at the highest risk of health deterioration, even at younger age. Objective criteria for hospitalization are not immediately available in a outpatient settings. Hence, hospitalization and emergency medical contact is often triggered by subjectively interpreted symptoms. The goal of this project is thus to improve the availability of objective measurements in the outpatient setting by means of an innovative, smartwatch mediated telemedicine approach. To achieve this goal, the investigators will conduct a randomized clinical trial comparing a smartwatch based telemedicine intervention with standard of care. The intervention group will receive regular objective measurements of heart rate, ECG, and SpO2 and will get access to a 24/7 medical care hotline for consultation. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will benefit by a significant reduction in unnecessary hospitalizations and unplanned emergency medicine contacts.

Long-term Effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 on the Cardiovascular System: CV COVID-19 Registry

CV-COVID-19
Start date: April 20, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Patients presenting with the coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) have a very high risk of cardiovascular adverse events, including death from cardiovascular causes. Unfortunately, there are no reliable statistics on the frequency and severity of these complications during the index hospitalization. Moreover, the long-term cardiovascular outcomes of these patients are entirely unknown. The investigators aim to perform a registry of patients who have undergone a diagnostic nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 and determine their long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
