Cardioverter DefIbriIlator PlacEMent for priMary Prevention of Sudden cArdiac Death in Patients Older Than 75 Years
The primary objective of DILEMMA study is to assess whether the "heart failure optimal therapy alone (HFOT)" strategy is non inferior to the "HFOT+ICD" strategy in terms of overall survival 48 months after randomization, in patients ≥ 75 years with an ICD indication for primary prevention of SCD whether there …
Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of Vericiguat in Pediatric Participants With Heart Failure Due to Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (MK-1242-036)
This study aims to compare the efficacy of vericiguat versus placebo on change in n-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) from baseline to Week 16 of the Base Period. The primary hypothesis is that vericiguat is superior to placebo in reducing NT-proBNP at Week 16 of the Base Period.
Further Lipid-Lowering With PCSK9 Inhibitors for Cardiovascular Outcomes in High-Risk Coronary Plaques Assessed by CT Angiography
The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of PCSK9 inhibitors in addition to the background lipid-modifying therapy (LMT), compared with placebo plus background LMT in terms of clinical outcomes in patients with coronary CT angiography (CCTA)-detected high-risk plaques.
AMEND-CRT: Mechanical Dyssynchrony as Selection Criterion for CRT
Previous experience with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) candidates suggests that selection of these patients can be improved. Current clinical guideline approaches are mainly too unspecific and lead to a high non-responder rate of 30-40%, which causes a burden on health care systems and puts patients at risk of an unnecessary …
Algorithm-based Tailoring of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy to Improve Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Interventions
The use of aspirin combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor (dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT) represents the standard of care for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. The TAILOR-DAPT trial aims to investigate the benefits of a score-based decision-making algorithm to guide DAPT duration compared to a standard-of-care DAPT …
Effect of Dalcetrapib on CV Risk in a Genetically Defined Population With a Recent ACS
This is a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, phase 3 multicenter study in subjects recently hospitalized for ACS and with the appropriate genetic profile. Subjects will provide informed consent before any study-specific procedures are performed. A separate informed consent will be allowed for an initial pre-screening genetic testing. Subjects meeting …
DCS Versus DES for One-month DAPT in Patients With ACS: ONE-PASS Trial
To test whether the polymer-free drug-coated stent (DCS) BioFreedom is noninferior to the biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent (DES) Ultimaster in terms of 1-year patient-oriented composite endpoint (POCE, composite of all-cause mortality, any MI, or any revascularization) in a setting of 1-month dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) strategy (1-month DAPT followed ticagrelor monotherapy) …
Preventive Drug-coated Balloon Angioplasty in Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque (RESTORE Trial)
The objective of this multicenter, prospective, open-label, controlled, randomized trial is to demonstrate the superiority of drug-coated balloon (DCB) treatment on non-flow limited vulnerable plaque as compared to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in improving clinical cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
PEEP vs. ZEEP in Out-of-Hospital-Cardiac-Arrest
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major cause of mortality, with low survival probabilities to hospital discharge. Despite the frequent use of airway management and mechanical ventilation during resuscitation, there is limited evidence regarding the optimal ventilation strategy to improve oxygen delivery and patient outcomes. The present study aims to …
OPT-CAD Score GUIded Dual ANtiplatelet De-esCalation Time
Monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor after a minimum period of DAPT following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is an emerging de-escalation antiplatelet strategy in recent years. However, the optimal timing for de-escalating DAPT in ACS patients undergoing PCI remains debated. The OPT-CAD score is a risk stratification tool derived from Chinese …
