Filter by:This is a Phase 1 study to determine the safety and efficacy of allogeneic neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) for the treatment of Dilated Cardiomyopathy. The purpose of the study is to help doctors and scientists learn if allogeneic neonatal mesenchymal stromal cells (nMSCs) infusions are a safe and effective way to improve cardiac function and left ventricular ejection fraction.
IntelliStent is intended to achieve reduction of pulmonary hypertension, improvements in symptoms and quality of life in pediatric, adolescent and adult patients with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension or left ventricular dilated cardiomyopathy.
The aim of this study is to detect effect of allopurinol supplementation in pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
Clinical evaluation of the CIRCULATE catheter involves intracoronary administration of a typical medical agent (nitroglycerin) and a shown-to-be-safe cell-based agent (CardioCell) in patients with a diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
CMR GUIDE DCM is a randomized controlled trial with a registry for non-randomized patients. Patients enrolled will have non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) with mild to severe Left Ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction with replacement fibrosis identified on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR). 954 patients will be randomised from 50 sites across 4-6 countries worldwide to receive an implantable defibrillator (ICD) or implantable loop recorder (ILR). Device and clinical follow-up will be performed at 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months and at end of study.
AUGMENT-HF II is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Algisyl device. The purpose of this study is to investigate Algisyl employed as a method of left ventricular augmentation and restoration in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Algisyl will be injected into the myocardium under direct visualization during the surgical procedure. Structural abnormalities in the heart are known to play a central role in HF, and clinical evidence supports a strong causal relationship between cardiac chamber dilation and heart failure. Because dilation, and not contractile dysfunction, appears to be responsible for the severity of the disease, the mitigation or prevention of the deleterious structural abnormalities of the left ventricle appears to be an important therapeutic target for patients with this life threatening illness. Hence, a therapy that specifically reduces LV wall stress, targets LV dilatation and LV remodeling may offer an important new alternative in the treatment of heart failure. Algisyl is being investigated based on evidence that suggests an ability of the implants to reduce wall stress, reshape the LV chamber and reduce the LV chamber size as well as prevent the progressive ventricular dilation and remodeling associated with HF. The physiologic response to progressive exercise using direct measures of ventilation and gas exchange via the cardiopulmonary exercise test is an important diagnostic tool in the management of the patient with HF, quantifying responses to therapy, and as a reliable prognostic utility for predicting outcomes in patients with HF. Numerous studies have established the strong association of peak VO2 with mortality and morbidity risk in HF. Peak VO2 conceptually is considered an overall global marker of cardiopulmonary health and is a reflection of the degree of impairment in ventricular function ( the heart's pumping capacity), oxygen delivery and oxygen utilization. Hence, employing the change in peak VO2 as a primary endpoint in this clinical study provides a strong objective measure that can be interpreted in independent blinded fashion, to evaluate the result of the therapeutic intervention and provide an equally strong assessment of the prognostic implications for patients in the study. This clinical evaluation is intended to provide confirmatory evidence of the effectiveness and safety of the device Algisyl in patients with advanced heart failure.
Paediatric long-term safety follow-up clinical trial in maximum 100 children with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy or congenital heart disease, from 1 day to less than 12 years of age at recruitment into the preceding short-term pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) trials. Pharmacodynamic measurements and renal monitoring in all children after 1 , 4, 7 and 10 months of follow-up; in addition PK assessments as well as acceptability and palatability assessments in children still under enalapril Orodispersible Minitablet (ODMT) treatment.
Paediatric clinical trial in 50 children, from 1 month to less than 12 years of age, suffering from heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy, to obtain paediatric pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of enalapril and its active metabolite enalaprilat while treated for 8 weeks with enalapril in form of Orodispersible Minitablets (ODMTs), to describe the dose exposure in this patient population.
The main aim of the study is to determine whether intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can improve the ventricular function of children with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDCM); Secondary end-points will be: 1)To explore the possible mechanism of the improvement of ventricular function in children with IDCM and 2) to evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell.
The purpose of this study is evaluation of expression of desmin in cardiomyocytes of patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Analysis of relationship between desmin expression and activities of mitochondrium and expression of ubiquitin.
