Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Delivery Guided Non-Invasive Electrical and Venous Anatomy Assessment
NCT05327062
Recruiting
The objective of this prospective, multicenter controlled study is to assess the feasibility of a patient-tailored implantation by creating a cloud-based pre-procedural multimodality CRT-roadmap by integration of 3D images from 3D activation sequence from ECG, and coronary venous anatomy from cardiac computed tomography. This CRT-roadmap will be used to guide LV lead placement to a coronary vein in an electrically late-activated region. Study Hypothesis: At least 75% of patients undergoing a CR... Read More

Spironolactone Initiation Registry Randomized Interventional Trial in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
NCT02901184
Recruiting
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is common and deadly but without therapy. Inconclusive studies such as TOPCAT (Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist) suggest spironolactone may be effective in HFPEF, but it is generic and will not be studied by industry. SPIRRIT is a unique Registry-Randomized Clinical Trial (RRCT) that will test the hypothesis that spironolactone plus standard of care compared to standard of care alone reduc... Read More

Antiangiogenic Therapy for Children with Recurrent Medulloblastoma, Ependymoma and ATRT
NCT01356290
Recruiting
Patients with relapsed medulloblastoma, ependymoma and ATRT have a very poor prognosis whether treated with conventional chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue, irradiation or combinations of these modalities. Antiangiogenetic therapy has emerged as new treatment option in solid malignancies. The frequent, metronomic schedule targets both proliferating tumor cells and endothelial cells, and minimizes toxicity. In this study the investigators will evaluate the use of biweekly... Read More

The PREDICTOR Study: Assessing Diagnostic Predictors of Airway Collapse in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
NCT05428839
Recruiting
This study is an exploratory, multicenter study of up to 300 subjects diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who are being evaluated for airway surgery. Subjects will undergo standard evaluation for airway surgery as part of standard of care. In addition to the standard airway assessment, a simple, non-invasive measurement of the width of the inside of each subjects mouth will be performed. This measurement takes 2-3 minutes to perform.
