Filter by:This study will evaluate the potential of RO4607381 to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in stable coronary heart disease patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and evaluate the long term safety profile of the drug. Eligible patients in stable condition will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po or placebo po, daily, together with a background of standard medication for ACS (including aspirin, antihypertensives and statins). The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 15,600 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with 40mg of Rosuvastatin for 8 weeks will reduce the number of episodes of myocardial ischaemia suffered in subjects with coronary artery disease.
The purpose of the study is the evaluation of multiple biomarkers related to acute coronary syndromes, including myeloid-related protein 8/14 (MRP 8/14), along with established clinical markers, for early diagnosis and risk stratification in patients presenting with acute chest pain at the emergency department. Study hypothesis: MRP 8/14, alone or together with other established or new biomarkers, increases the earliness, sensitivity, and specificity of diagnosing acute coronary syndromes.
In this study, we want to find out if laughing gas (nitrous oxide) leads to a higher rate of cardiac complications after surgery in patients with a specific genetic profile (mutations in the MTHFR gene) and if this risk can be prevented by giving patients vitamin B12 and folate during surgery.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RO4607381 in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk equivalents. Patients will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po daily or placebo po daily. Endothelial function will be measured by flow mediated dilatation and blood pressure monitoring will be assessed. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 12 months, and the target sample size is up to 500 individuals.
This study will assess the effect of RO4607381, compared to placebo, on atherosclerotic plaque in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) including patients with other CHD risk factors. After a pre-randomisation period during which positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) and MRI will be conducted, patients will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 600mg po daily, or placebo po daily. PET/CT and MRI scans will be taken at intervals during the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2 years, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
At the time of hysterectomy for benign disease, the overall health benefits of preserving ovarian function in a large population of women have not been established.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 8 weeks of treatment with Rosuvastatin with 8 weeks of treatment with Atorvastatin on low density lipoprotein cholesterol level in subjects with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease (CHD) or at high risk of CHD..
The purpose of this study is to compare 6 weeks of treatment with rosuvastatin alone compared with 6 weeks of treatment of rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe in achieving low density lipoprotein level goals.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of nesiritide compared to placebo when given with standard of care therapies, on kidney function, heart function and the need of other treatments in heart failure patients undergoing heart bypass graft surgery that requires the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB pump or heart-lung machine).
