Below are current clinical trials.

Filter this list of studies by location, status and more.

1. A Study to Evaluate Sex and Age Differences in Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Patients

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine whether serum biomarkers and comorbidities differ between subjects with hEDS/HSD vs. other non-hypermobile EDS subtypes and whether sex and/or age differences exist, and to determine whether serum biomarkers and comorbidities differ between subjects with hEDS vs. HSD and whether sex and/or age differences exist.

2. A Study of Long-Term Outcomes of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Recipients with Congestive Heart Failure

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term outcome of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) recipients with congestive heart failure and any indications for CRT at Mayo Clinic.   

3. A Study to Evaluate Long-term Outcomes of Alcohol Septal Ablation for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine long term vital status, symptoms, and need for repeat procedure after alcohol septal ablation, to determine patient and procedural factors associated with successful alcohol septal ablation and need for repeat procedure, and to determine the impact of conduction abnormalities after alcohol septal ablation on long-term outcomes.

4. A Study to Evaluate NT-proBNP Levels in the Prediction of Intrapartum and Postpartum Events in Adult Congenital Heart Disease Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the relationship between NT-proBNP levels obtained at time of admission for delivery and subsequent cardiovascular events in ACHD patients, and to describe normative values for NT-proBNP at time of admission for delivery in an uncomplicated obstetric population.

5. Epicardial Delivery Of XC001 Gene Therapy To Promote Angiogenesis In CAD Patients Undergoing Treatment With CABG

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   This is a 26-week (with a 26-week extension) multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of XC001 versus placebo. Approximately 116 participants who have CAD and have been referred for revascularization by CABG and who have, according to assessment by stress imaging multiple myocardial segments that are substantially ischemic, and that are unlikely to be fully revascularized during CABG for technical reasons, including diffuse atherosclerosis, lack of conduits, or insufficient target vessels.
   
   Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 to XC001 or placebo injections during the final stages of the CABG procedure. Patients will have a baseline CMR at day 4-6 post CABG and additional assessments in the primary study period will be performed on Day 14, and Weeks 4, 12, and 26, (and during the extension period at 52 weeks).

6. Anticoagulation For New-Onset Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation After CABG

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (prevention of thromboembolic events) and safety (major bleeding) of adding oral anticoagulation (OAC) to background antiplatelet therapy in patients who develop new-onset post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.  

7. Phase 2/3 Study Of Participants With Recurrent Pericarditis Evaluating The Efficacy And Safety Of KPL-387

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.

   This study is being done to demonstrate whether KPL-387 is an effective and safe treatment for recurrent pericarditis.

8. A Study to Evaluate Potential Myocardial Injury in Patients with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Undergoing Defibrillation Threshold Testing

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine if defibrillation threshold testing (DFT) results in myocardial injury as assessed by changes in high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT). This will be done by comparing pre-and-post DFT hs-cTnT levels in these patients.

9. Is Our Microbiome a Predictor of Cardiac Risk

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to compare the fecal microbiota of patients with mild, moderate and severe Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) by collecting stool and blood samples from patients undergoing coronary angiograms.

    

10. A Study to Evaluate Decision-support Interventions for Atrial Fibrillation (RED-AF)

    Rochester, Minn.

    1. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the comparative effectiveness of the following 4 approaches to promote high-quality SDM for at-risk patients with AF:  a PDA alone, (2) an EDA alone, (3) a combination of a PDA and an EDA, and (4) control with neither a PDA nor an EDA.
