Pacemaker (ICD) Clinical Trials

Medtronic, Inc. is sponsoring the World-wide Randomized Antibiotic EnveloPe Infection PrevenTion Trial (WRAP-IT), a randomized, prospective, multi-center, single blinded, post market, interventional clinical study. The study has three purposes. First, the WRAP-IT study will serve as a post-approval study for those geographies requiring a post-approval study to facilitate collection of ...

Studies have shown that patients who have large areas of cardiac muscle damage also have a clear correlation in the ST shifts in their ECGs. St. Jude Medical has developed a device that will perform continuous monitoring of the ST segment. This device is attached to the right ventricular tip ...

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To collect preliminary information to help design a study to look at longitudinal changes in markers of ovarian reserve and menstruation in premenopausal women undergoing tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in patients who elect to undergo in ...

The effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for heart failure patients was heterogeneous. Candidate selection was important before intervention. The underlying mechanical dyssynchrony of left ventricular bundle branch block was insufficiently descripted. Earlier study of investigators found novel imaging methods such as cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging including T1 Mapping and ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a five-fold increased risk of cerebrovascular stroke. While the risk of stroke in patients with known AF can be calculated via AF stroke prediction risk scores, the prediction of AF occurrence per se in individual patients remains difficult. We will recruit 250 patients with ...

The integrated Cancer Repository for Cancer Research (iCaRe2 http://icare2project.org) is a unique sociotechnical resource for the collection and management of cancer and health-related data at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center at University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). The iCaRe2 is a multi-center, semantically-interoperable and easily-customizable cancer data resource ...

During the study, blood samples will be obtained from participants, as well as medical and family histories. When possible, leftover tumor samples will also be collected. If participants agree to be re-contacted in the future, they will be asked about once each year to update their health information and family ...

Registry Purpose This registry is a prospective single institution study of MRI examinations in patients with pacemakers or ICD's who will undergo an MRI that is ordered for routine clinical care. The purpose of the registry is to accumulate pre-and post-scan device interrogation data for the purpose of determining the ...

OBJECTIVES: Primary - To describe the safety and toxicity of the combination of dasatinib and bevacizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors that have progressed on standard therapy. - To find the maximum tolerated dose or recommended phase II dose of this combination. - To describe the biochemical changes in ...

Recent publications have suggested the use of 11C-acetate as another PET tracer for tumor imaging. The accumulation of 11C-acetate in tumor cells is related to the highly active lipid metabolism in the cell membrane associated with tumor growth. 11C-acetate is channeled into the tricarboxylic acid cycle via acetyl coenzyme A ...
