Filter by:Study CKJX839B12302 is a pivotal Phase III trial to evaluate the benefits of inclisiran on major adverse cardiovascular (MACE) events in participants with established cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The aim of this study is to look at how the study medicine works in the body and how it is removed from the body. We are testing the study medicine to make a medicine that can help people lower their cholesterol level. Participants will either get 1. NNC0385-0434 (a potential new medicine) in one of three different doses: 15 mg, 40 mg, or 100 mg. 2. placebo (a dummy medicine which looks like the study medicine but without any medicine). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. NNC0385-0434 is a new medicine and has not been approved by the Health Authorities (Centre for Drug Evaluation). Participants will get 1 tablet per day for 10 days. The tablet will be handed out by a study doctor or site staff at the clinic and the study will last between 62 and 98 days. Participants will have 7 clinic visits. One of these visits will be a 13-day, 12-night stay (V2) and the rest will be 1-day visits (V1 and V3 to V7). At all visits, except the information visit, participants will have blood drawn along with other clinical checks. Participants will be asked about their health, medical history and habits including mental health.
This study will evaluate whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) lowering with alirocumab results in greater change from baseline in intracranial atherosclerotic plaque at week 26 than control in adults with acute ischemic stroke from intracranial atherosclerosis taking lipid lowering therapy.
This study looks at how well a new medicine, NNC0385-0434, works to lower blood cholesterol levels. Participants will either get NNC0385-0434 as a tablet (a potential new medicine), or placebo as a tablet (a dummy medicine that looks like NNC0385-0434 but has no effect on the body), or evolocumab as an injection (a medicine that doctors can already prescribe). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. If participants get NNC0385-0434 or placebo participants will need to take 1 tablet every morning. If participants get evolocumab participants will need to take 1 injection every 2 weeks. The study will last for about 22 weeks. About 255 people will participate in the study. Participants will have 9 visits to the clinic and 2 phone calls with the study doctor. Some people will be invited to participate in a sub-study and will have 4 extra visits (13 visits in total). Participants will have blood samples taken at all visits to the clinic (except visit 0). At 4 clinic visits, participants will have an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a test to check your heart. Women can only take part in the study if they are not able to become pregnant.
In acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion, rescue intracranial stenting has been recently a treatment option to achieve recanalization in patients with the failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Nevertheless, there are few studies supporting this beneficial treatment in two cerebral circulations. We aimed to analyse whether the use of rescue intracranial stenting would improve prognosis of patients at 3 months.
The purpose of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of a "one-stop" comprehensive coronary artery anatomy and function assessment for CAD.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability-adjusted life-years worldwide. Carotid high-risk atherosclerotic plaques are considered to be one of the major sources of ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of carotid plaque characteristics with brain perfusion and cognitive function in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
Coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction have become a major threat to the health of our people. Their incidence rate and mortality rate are still rising. Dyslipidemia is one of the important risk factors. However, little is known about the genetic information of myocardial infarction and dyslipidemia, especially in Chinese population. This project aims to identify new loci related to myocardial infarction and blood lipid level in Chinese population, compare these gene variations with 94 gene variations related to myocardial infarction and blood lipid level in European population, and extract gene variations related to myocardial infarction and blood lipid level in Chinese population. In this case-control study, 3998 blood samples and 702 new blood samples were collected from the sample bank of Peking University Third Hospital and first hospital, respectively. The blood samples were collected from Asian heart disease hospital, Taiyuan cardiovascular disease hospital, Beijing Third Hospital and Shijingshan community follow-up population According to the results of carotid ultrasound or treadmill exercise test, the samples were divided into myocardial infarction group and control group, and the corresponding blood lipid levels were collected. The samples were genotyped by the metabochip gene chip of Illumina company. The data were processed by the calling algorithm of BeadStudio Gentrain 1.0 and the GenoSNP software. The related genes of myocardial infarction were analyzed by logistic regression, and the related genes of blood lipid level were analyzed by linear regression.
This is a trial designed to test the efficacy and safety of the Neurovascular Drug-Eluting Balloon Dilatation Catheter.
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid stenting (CAS) are often performed for subgroups of patients for whom procedural benefit has not been established in randomised trials and despite evidence of serious procedural risk. In some places, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult or impossible to perform CEA and CAS in time. This study aims to measure the rate of ipsilateral stroke and other complications in individuals with symptomatic carotid stenosis, whom for any reason are managed using current best medical intervention alone. The investigators expect at least 50% lowering of the ipsilateral stroke rate compared to that seen with medical intervention alone in past randomised trials.
