Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a particular substance involved in inflammation, called leukotrienes, is involved in causing heart disease to occur or to progress.
This 2 arm study will investigate the efficacy and safety of RO4607381 in patients with coronary heart disease, or CHD risk equivalent. After a pre-randomization phase of 5-12 weeks, patients will be randomized to receive either RO4607381 (900mg po) or placebo po daily for 24 weeks, with concomitant atorvastatin 10-80mg daily, and changes in cholesterol level and lipoprotein metabolism will be measured. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 3 different rapamycin-eluting-stent platforms to reduce coronary artery reblockage after stent implantation
Objectives: A prospective investigation of the effect of omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, on the anti-platelet action of clopidogrel. The main decision criterion will concern change in VASP protein phosphorylation under treatment. Phosphorylation will be measured before and after administration of omeprazole versus placebo in patients undergoing clopidogrel treatment. Type of study: Single center, double blind, randomized parallel group study versus placebo, comparing two treatment groups: - clopidogrel + omeprazole + standard regime (beta-blockers, atorvastatin, IEC, aspirin) - clopidogrel + placebo+ standard regime (beta-blockers, atorvastatin, IEC, aspirin) Study population: 120 patients from the Cardiology Department of Brest University hospital, Brest (France), receiving a standard treatment comprising a loading dose of clopidogrel followed by a daily dose of 75 mg associated to 75 mg aspirin, will be randomized between 20 mg/day omeprazole and 20 mg/day placebo treatment groups. The efficacy of clopidogrel will be assessed by inter-group comparison on the VASP test. Study period: 7 days' treatment per patient. Total study period estimated at 6 months. Expected findings: The results should confirm the suspected negative effect of omeprazole on clopidogrel's impact on arterial thrombosis risk, secondarily allowing new recommendations to be drawn up for this association.
This is a sixteen-week follow-on and 28 week single-blind extension study for patients who participated in study NK-104-304.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the degree of additional reduction in cardiovascular risk that was accrued to patients by lowering their LDL-C beyond the currently accepted minimum target level for patients with pre-existing CHD. Secondary objectives include the safety profile of this treatment strategy, its cost-effectiveness, effect on other atherosclerotic-related events and procedures, and total mortality.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether hormone replacement therapy in post menopausal women with coronary artery disease prevents future heart attacks or death from coronary heart disease.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of fenofibric acid (ABT-335) + rosuvastatin calcium combination therapy with ABT-335 and rosuvastatin calcium monotherapy in subjects with multiple abnormal lipid levels in the blood.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of fenofibric acid (ABT-335) + atorvastatin combination therapy with ABT-335 and atorvastatin monotherapy in subjects with multiple abnormal lipid levels in the blood.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of fenofibric acid (ABT-335) + simvastatin combination therapy with ABT-335 and simvastatin monotherapy in subjects with multiple abnormal lipid levels in the blood.
