The research study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat people who were admitted to hospital because of a heart attack. Ziltivekimab might reduce development of heart disease, thereby preventing new heart attacks or strokes. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (a dummy medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. The participant will need to inject the study medicine into a flat skin surface in there stomach, thigh, or upper arm once every month. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study will last for about 2 years.

ICM Implantation for Heart Attack

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Patients post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have a high risk of mortality but the use of an implantable defibrillator in the early aftermath of an AMI has not been shown to improve patients' survival. The VEST trial recently demonstrated an improved overall survival in post AMI patients with the use of a wearable defibrillator. The same improvement was not demonstrated for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Monitoring patients after AMI using an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) may document findings that can impact patient management and eventually improve their outcomes. We are therefore conducting the AID MI trial to examine the impact of ICM on patient management in the post AMI setting.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically recommended program for patients with certain heart conditions. It includes exercise training, health education, and counseling. Unfortunately, many patients do not participate in cardiac rehabilitation. Some find it challenging to attend the in-person sessions. This study aims to compare two methods of delivering cardiac rehabilitation: in-person and through telehealth. The investigators want to know if the effects of these two programs are alike and if certain individuals benefit more from one program over the other.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have a known blockage developing in lower left main 50%, which my doctors are watching. We've considered surgery, but I'd like to rule out all possible other options first. I've done some research, which brought me to clinical trials."

PA
Artery Disease PatientAge: 38

"My ejection fraction is now 20-25%, quite low. Trying to optimize my medications at this time. I have had Biventricular pacemaker/ICD since 2007. I am doing everything I can to improve my health. Following a diet, exercising 30 minutes every day. Most days my systolic blood pressure is < 100. I had a L/R Cath in December and do not have any problems with my coronary arteries. I'm hoping to learn more about the latest research and drugs by participating in a trial. "

WB
Heart Failure PatientAge: 38

"I have gasteroparesis which causes me extreme bloating, pain, acid reflux, occasional vomiting, nausea, and constipation. Most standard medications have not helped. I did some research to learn about investigational drugs, which I'd be excited to get to access through a trial."

BW
Gasteroparesis PatientAge: 38

"In December 2023 I had a stent placed in an artery. I was so glad that the blockage was found before I had either a heart attack, stroke, or both. I have been on Pravastatin for as long as I can remember but I continue to have elevated cholesterol levels. I'm trying to get ahead of my condition by learning more about the latest research and drugs available."

AQ
Hypercholesterolemia PatientAge: 38

"I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since 2000. I was on the highest dose of metformin, which didn't work for me. In 2022, I tried Ozempic, which had bad side effects. I'm not currently on anything to treat my diabetes, given my experiences (as well as some insurance denials). I'm glad that clinical trials exist to help me try to access the latest research. I'm frustrated but also motivated."

PL
Diabetes PatientAge: 38
This trial is testing whether using an Impella device to help the heart pump blood before opening blocked arteries improves survival in patients with severe heart attacks and heart failure. The Impella device temporarily assists the heart, allowing it to rest while maintaining blood flow. The goal is to see if this approach reduces deaths compared to other treatments. The Impella device has been shown to improve blood flow in the heart and is used as a last-resort treatment in patients with severe heart conditions.

This research study is being performed to begin to determine the effectiveness of two dominant bariatric surgery procedures versus an intensive lifestyle intervention to induce weight loss in patients and promote improvements in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in moderately obese patients. T2DM is currently the 6th leading cause of mortality in the United States and is a major cause of kidney failure, blindness, amputations, heart attack, and other vascular and gastro-intestinal dysfunctions. Traditionally, treatments include intensive lifestyle modifications with or without glucose lowering agents. Neither treatment alone, or in combination, results in complete resolution of diabetes and its potential long-term complications. Bariatric surgery has been proven as an effective treatment to accomplish sustained and significant weight loss for those with severe obesity and has been shown to induce long-term remission of T2DM. However, despite enthusiasm for these potential treatment options, it is not clear whether diabetes is influenced by the type of surgery or by the amount of weight lost or if bariatric surgery is more effective than non-surgical weight loss induced by diet and physical activity in T2DM patients with moderate BMIs (30-40kg/m2; Class I and Class II obesity, or approximately 65-95 pounds overweight depending on your height). More well-controlled studies are needed to more completely inform health care decision making and clinical practice in this area. This research study aims to obtain preliminary information regarding the effectiveness of two major types of bariatric surgery, Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding versus an intensive lifestyle intervention to induce weight loss with diet and increased physical activity.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of coronary CT angiogram (CCTA) as a superior guide for the assessment of coronary artery plaque and guiding treatment decisions. The investigators also assess the impact of preventive cardiovascular drugs on the plaque to improve patient outcomes. Participants aged 18-80 years, at intermediate or high-risk for coronary artery disease, with non-obstructive plaque on initial CCTA, will be enrolled in this study. They will be randomized into Standard of Care (SOC) vs. Aggressive Therapy (AT) groups. Both groups will undergo dietary and lifestyle interventions. Follow-up will consist of blood tests and clinic visits at baseline, 9 months, and 18 months. The second CCTA will be performed at 18 months to assess the change in plaque burden, characteristics, ischemia and pericoronary/epicardial fat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Myocardial Infarction clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Myocardial Infarction clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Myocardial Infarction trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Myocardial Infarction is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Myocardial Infarction medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Myocardial Infarction clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Dapansutrile for Heart Attack Recovery, Radiation Therapy for Ventricular Tachycardia and Health Coaching for Cardiovascular Disease to the Power online platform.
