Filter by:This study will be a proof of concept, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial in participants with a recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, disease progression measures by IVUS, and pharmacodynamics of MDCO-216 infusion. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive 5 infusions of MDCO-216 20 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.
The purpose of the study is to assess short and long term outcomes of acute coronary syndrome in patients with non obstructive coronary atherosclerosis, to optimize the algorithm for diagnosis and to evaluate its effectiveness
The optimal antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with a CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥1 with concomitant acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or revascularisation by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting, is still unknown. For these patients current North American and European guidelines recommend a triple therapy strategy, including vitamin K antagonists (VKA), aspirin and clopidogrel. A major drawback of this triple therapy strategy is a significant increase in the risk of major bleeding. Furthermore, the ommitance of aspirin and the introduction of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors as well as the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC), created numerous new antithrombotic treatment strategies for these patients with overlapping conditions. To date, evidence on the risks and benefits of these new antithrombotic treatment strategies is lacking. The WOEST 2 Registry aims to improve medical care for patients with AF and/or a heart valve prosthesis ánd undergoing coronary revascularisation through a better understanding of their demographics, antithrombotic management and related in-hospital and long-term outcomes. The WOEST 2 Registry will provide data to support benchmarking of antithrombotic treatment patterns and patient outcomes. Objective: To assess the different management patterns and related in-hospital and long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of combined use of chronic oral anticoagulation and a P2Y12 inhibitor in patients with atrial fibrillation and/or a heart valve prosthesis undergoing coronary revascularisation.
Current drug-eluting stents (DES) has demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. However, a continued risk of clinical events even several years after the procedure is reported. Stent platform or polymer-associated inflammation may play a role. Bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) is known to disappear 2 to 3 years after the implantation, which may result in the more favorable very long-term clinical outcomes compared with metallic stents. The initial clinical experiences of BRS in relatively simple lesion subsets were comparable to DESs. BRS, however, is limited by the disadvantageous mechanical characteristics such as thick strut and the risk of fracture by overdilation. There is concern that BRS is less optimal for complex lesion subsets such as bifurcation lesions, calcified tortuous lesions, or diffuse long lesions. Real world registry is needed to test the feasibility and safety of BRS in these complex lesion subsets.
This is a randomized, single blind, controlled study of intracoronary cocktail injection before fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement when guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The NIA algorithm is similar to the traditional 12-lead ECG equipment. By analyzing patient data, NIA algorithm provides more detailed results compared to traditional 12-lead ECG. Patients with suspected coronary artery disease are conventionally diagnosed and treated by cardiac catheterization. However, cardiac catheterization is invasive procedure. Unless clinical diagnosis is evident before cardiac catheterization, a treadmill exercise test, a nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion test, or a multi-direction coronary CT angiogram is usually performed to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. But these examinations are not accessible to all patients, and are time-consuming and costly.
Ticagrelor, a new P2Y12 receptor antagonist, achieve faster, consistent and higher platelet inhibition than clopidogrel, which was considered more noticeable in patients with ACS combining chronic kidney disease(CKD). Nonetheless, the pharmacokinetic properties of ticagrelor in the patients with CKD and NSTE-ACS has not been thoroughly studied. This study was designed to provide PK and PD data of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel, in order to estimate that ticagrelor is superior to clopidogrel in getting better inhibition of platelet in patients with CKD and NSTE-ACS. P2Y12 inhibitor naïve patients with CKD (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 ) and NSTE-ACS will be enrolled in this single-center, prospective, randomized, parallel-control study and randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to receive ticagrelor or clopidogrel on top of chronic aspirin treatment. The primary endpoint was the PRU by Verify Now at 30 days after loading dose.
Impaired thrombotic status is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of the study is to determine the usefulness of thrombotic status assessment in a large cohort of ACS patients, managed with contemporary treatments, to identify patients at risk of thrombosis and those at risk of bleeding complications.
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) require platelet inhibition after treatment. P2Y12 receptor blockage is a well-known, proved method of urgent and effective blockade of the platelet activation, and is applied to the current practice protocol. Ticagrelor is a well-performing P2Y12 receptor blocking agent which is used in these patients. In the same matter, it is essential to prescribe the exact dosage to optimize efficacy within the safety limits. However current studies are based on Western countries, whereas there has been no Ticagrelor patient registry in East-Asia. Thus it is reasonable to study the use of Ticagrelor in a large registry of Korean ACS patients. The BK registry is a Prospective, Open-label, Multi-center, Real world, Registry, with prospective registration of patients receiving the medication, Ticagrelor. All subjects are to be followed up for 18 months after diagnosis and treatment for ACS. The purpose of this study is to observe and register clinical data including Major Adverse Cardiovascular Endpoints and any total bleeding occurrence in Korean ACS patients treated with Ticagrelor during 18 month follow-up. Also, the purpose includes to determine compliance of Ticagrelor during post-approval commercial use and to determine prescription pattern of Ticagrelor during post-approval commercial use.
To compare the clinical outcomes of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticagrelor vs. ticagrelor monotherapy at 3 months after PCI in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
