EVEREST II – REALISM

  • Sponsor: Abbott Vascular/Evalve Inc
  • Study Overview: The purpose of the study is to continue evaluation and monitoring of the safety and effectiveness of an investigational device that repairs the mitral valve. The device is called the MitraClip® System. Evalve, Inc. of Menlo Park, CA is the company that makes this device. The device consists of a delivery catheter and an implantable Clip (called the MitraClip device). The delivery catheter guides the MitraClip device into place so that it can be attached to the leaflets of your mitral valve. Once the MitraClip device is in place on your mitral valve, the delivery catheter is removed.

ALLSTAR

PRESERVE AMI TRIAL

  • Sponsor: Amorcyte, Inc./Neostem
  • Sponsor Link: http://www.neostem.com/research-and-development/overview/
  • Study Overview: This study is being done to find out if putting specialized cells collected from your bone marrow (AMR-001) can preserve heart muscle function after being injected into the coronary (heart) artery that caused your heart attack. Studies have shown that people who have had a moderate or severe heart attack like the one you had, are significantly more likely to have chronic heart problems such as heart failure, than people who have had a mild heart attack. Heart failure is a serious disease and is a leading cause of death according to the American Heart Association. Studies performed with animals and a small number of humans have demonstrated that infusion of AMR-001 may preserve the performance of the heart after a heart attack.
  • Target Population: Patients who have recently suffered a heart attack
  • Study Status: Closed for new enrollment
