NCT ID: NCT05643573 Terminated - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

A Study to Learn How Well the Study Treatment Asundexian Works and How Safe it is Compared to Apixaban to Prevent Stroke or Systemic Embolism in People With Irregular and Often Rapid Heartbeat (Atrial Fibrillation), and at Risk for Stroke

OCEANIC-AF
Start date: December 5, 2022
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people with atrial fibrillation and prevent stroke or systemic embolism (blood clots travelling through the blood stream to plug another vessel). Atrial fibrillation is a condition of having irregular and often rapid heartbeat. It can lead to the formation of blood clots in the heart which can travel through the blood stream to plug another vessel, and like this lead to serious and life-threatening conditions, such as a stroke. A stroke occurs because the brain tissue beyond the blockage no longer receives nutrients and oxygen so that brain cells die. As strokes arising from atrial fibrillation can involve extensive areas of the brain, it is important to prevent them. Blood clots are formed in a process known as coagulation. Medications are already available to prevent the formation of blood clots. When taken by mouth (orally), they are known as oral anticoagulants (OACs) including apixaban. OACs decrease the risk of the above-mentioned serious and life-threatening conditions. The main side effect of OACs is an increase of the risk of bleeding. The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care with regard to the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to collect more data about how well asundexian works to prevent stroke and systemic embolism and how safe it is compared to apixaban in people with atrial fibrillation and at high risk for stroke. To see how well the study treatment asundexian works researchers compare: - how long asundexian works well and - how long apixaban works well after the start of the treatment. Working well means that the treatments can prevent the following from happening: - stroke and/or - systemic embolism. The study will keep collecting data until a certain number of strokes or embolisms happen in the study. To see how safe asundexian is, the researchers will compare how often major bleedings occur after taking the study treatments asundexian and apixaban, respectively. Major bleedings are bleedings that have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. The study participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups, A and B. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take the study treatment asundexian by mouth once a day or apixaban by mouth twice a day for approximately 9 - 33 months. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 9 - 34 months. There will be visits to the study site every 3 to 6 months and up to 7 phone calls. Those participants who do not want or are unable to have visits to the study site may join the study remotely in selected locations. The location name contains the abbreviation - DCT in such cases. During the study, the study team will: - take blood samples - do physical examinations - examine heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - do pregnancy tests - ask the participants questions about their quality of life - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.

NCT ID: NCT05623709 Terminated - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Health Outcomes With CPAP or NIV in Patients With COPD and a Sleep Related Breathing Disorder

Start date: July 26, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease affecting an estimated 1 in 10 Canadians. Symptoms include persistent shortness of breath, cough and sputum production. The symptoms can be serious when people with COPD experience a flare of their disease and may lead to hospitalization or death. Improving other conditions that affect COPD control is one way to improve the health of people with COPD. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common breathing problem during sleep, and commonly co-exists with COPD. Although diagnosing and treating OSA is encouraged, it has not been highlighted in guidelines that recommend ideal COPD care. People with COPD and OSA have lower sleep quality and lower oxygen levels during sleep compared to people with OSA. Despite these differences, treatment of OSA in people with COPD is modeled after treatment of OSA in the general population, generally using treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with the possible addition of oxygen through the CPAP machine. There are few studies looking at other types of treatment including noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in people with COPD and OSA. The majority of studies of NIV in COPD has been for people with other reasons to use NIV including acute respiratory failure or chronic hypercarbic respiratory failure and did not include people with risk factors for OSA or who had undergone overnight sleep studies. In Alberta, NIV is provided province wide for people who have both OSA who do not meet certain physiologic targets in their oxygen levels or breathing patterns after CPAP is applied on an overnight sleep study. NIV is provided preferentially to CPAP and oxygen, providing an opportunity to look at health outcomes when NIV is used instead of CPAP for the treatment of patients with COPD. Through this study, we will measure whether people with COPD and a sleep related breathing disorder such as OSA have fewer severe flares of COPD after starting CPAP or NIV. We will evaluate whether the number of Emergency Department visits, hospitalizations or deaths lowers after starting CPAP or NIV.

NCT ID: NCT05518474 Terminated - COVID-19 Clinical Trials

Self-proning and Repositioning in COVID-19 Outpatients at Risk of Complicated Illness

Start date: October 15, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The rapid development of safe and effective COVID-19 treatment is a global health priority. Numerous studies evaluating therapies for this disease are currently underway, but the majority of these are in hospitalized patients with severe illness. Consequently, there is an urgent need to identify therapies that prevent mild COVID-19 cases in the community from becoming more severe. "Proning" or lying face down in bed has been shown to improve breathing and oxygen levels in COVID-19 patients, reducing the need for breathing tubes and ventilators and increasing survival. The current study will investigate whether proning and repositioning (lying on one's side or sitting up) can prevent mild cases of COVID-19 from becoming more severe resulting in fewer hospitalizations and death. A randomized controlled trial will be used to reduce the risk of bias when testing this intervention. Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated adult patients with a positive COVID-19 test willing to participate and well enough to be treated outside the hospital will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a home-proning intervention group with instructions and daily reminders to prone and reposition during the day and at night, and a standard care group. Our goal is to assess whether home-proning/repositioning leads to fewer hospitalizations and death when compared with standard care. We'll also compare recovery time, use of antibiotics and follow up emergency department visits between these two groups. The current pilot study will assess the feasibility of a larger investigation or "main trial", meaning it will be small scale test of methods and procedures to be used on a larger scale.
