Health Coaching for Cardiovascular Disease
Columbus, OhioFor patients discharged with a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease coronary artery disease resulting in myocardial infarction and/or congestive heart failure, this study will evaluate if the addition of 12 virtual health coaching sessions over the course of 16 weeks will improve physiological, psychological, and social health outcomes, prove acceptable and satisfactory for these patients with CVD, decrease CVD-related questions and concerns sent to the provider via MyChart, and reduce hospital readmission rates over a 90-day period as compared to patients discharged with the same diagnosis who receive standard post-discharge care. The study will also evaluate the perceptions of physician and advanced practice providers related to the health coach as part of the interprofessional team and the amount of time spent addressing CVD-related patient questions and concerns via MyChart messages.

Digital Heart Health Program for Heart Disease
Toronto, OntarioDespite the availability of medications, many people around the world continue to live with long-term health problems like heart disease, stroke and diabetes. In Canada, heart disease is a leading cause of death. Managing these health issues can be done by changing diet and lifestyle. Specific ways of eating have been proven to improve risk for heart disease and stroke. However, because doctors often have limited time, nutrition education, and lack of tools for counseling patients on nutrition, they can often only provide minimal support to help patients make necessary lifestyle changes. Digital tools and mobile applications offer an opportunity to involve doctors and patients in delivering nutrition interventions. This approach has the potential to save time, provide education, and reduce healthcare costs. This study is being done to understand the effect of a digital heart health program added to standard of care, compared with standard of care alone on heart health. All eligible participants in this study will be randomized (determined by chance) to one of two possible interventions: 1) a digital heart health program + standard of care; 2) standard of care. Standard is care is defined as the best practice based on guidelines for the treatment of a condition. All participants will be followed for seven years and will be asked to complete online questionnaires and complete blood work at their nearest LifeLabs clinic, as well as wear a continuous glucose monitor and wrist actigraph (at 3 time points in the first year). In addition, participants randomized to the digital heart health program + standard of care will be expected to use the heart health app and join 16 online synchronous sessions over the first year.
After seven years, the intervention phase of the study will end and the study will become a cohort study. All participants at the 7-year time point will be invited to use the heart health app. As part of the cohort study, participants will be asked to continue completing the same questionnaires online and completing bloodwork at their nearest LifeLabs every four years for the duration of their participation in the cohort study.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
1. Will a digital heart health program added to standard of care result in a clinically meaningful reduction in blood cholesterol and other risk factors after 1-year compared to standard of care alone?
2. Will a digital heart health program added to standard of care result in a reduction in major cardiovascular events after 7-years compared to standard of care alone?
3. Are the observed effects sustained beyond the 7-years of the intervention?
We hypothesize that the digital heart health program added to standard of care will result in a clinically meaningful reduction in blood cholesterol and other risk factors for heart disease after 1-year and reduce major cardiovascular events after 7-years compared to standard of care alone.

Norepinephrine vs Phenylephrine for Preventing Acute Kidney Injury
Ann Arbor, MichiganLow blood pressure, also known as hypotension, is very common during major surgery under general anesthesia. Prolonged or severe hypotension can lead to complications such as kidney injury after surgery that slow down patient recovery. Anesthesiologists commonly administer medications called vasopressors to treat low blood pressure during surgery. These medications help raise the blood pressure back up to a safe range. Two vasopressor medications are commonly used for this purpose: norepinephrine and phenylephrine. Each of these medications has slightly different effects on the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular system). It remains unknown which of these standard medications is better for treating low blood pressure during surgery. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine which of these two medications is better at preventing injury to the kidneys after major noncardiac surgery as well as other complications such as heart problems. Major surgeries are defined as those lasting at least two hours under general anesthesia. This trial will randomize about ten centers in North America to use either norepinephrine or phenylephrine as the primary medication to treat low blood pressure in adults undergoing major noncardiac surgery. Each hospital will prioritize one of the drugs each month, and the assigned drug will rotate each month at each hospital. No further participant involvement will be required as de-identified data are collected as part of standard medical care.

Ziltivekimab for Heart Attack
Zanesville, OhioThe 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.

Pharmacy Intervention for Medication Adherence
Knoxville, TennesseeSocioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital discharge among low-income individuals are related to social determinants of health (SDOH) and include: 1) financial barriers , 2) transportation barriers, and 3) system-level barriers. Although, medication therapy management services are important during care transitions, these services have not proven effective in improving medication adherence after hospital discharge, highlighting a critical need for innovative interventions. The Medication Affordability, Accessibility, and Availability in Care Transitions (Med AAAction) Study will test the effectiveness of a pharmacy-led care transitions intervention versus usual care through a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of 388 Medicaid and uninsured hospital in-patients with MCC from three large healthcare systems in Tennessee. The intervention will involve: 1) medications with zero copay, 2) bedside delivery then home delivery of medications, and 3) care coordination provided by certified pharmacy technicians/health coaches to assist with medication access, medication reconciliation, and rapid and ongoing primary care follow-up. We will examine the impact of the intervention during 12 months on 1) medication adherence (primary outcome) and 2) rapid primary care follow-up, 30-day readmissions, hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and costs. We will conduct key informant interviews to understand patient experience with the acre received during and after care transitions. By examining effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes including medication adherence, health care utilization, costs, and patient experience, this study will provide valuable results to health systems, payers, and policymakers to assist in future implementation and sustainability of the intervention for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.

BI 765845 for Heart Attack
Hamilton, OntarioThis study is open to adults aged 18 and over who have just had a heart attack. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 765845 helps people who have had a heart attack. The investigators also want to test how well different doses of BI 765845 work and how they are tolerated by people who have had a heart attack.
Participants are randomly assigned to receive either BI 765845 or placebo. Placebo treatments look like BI 765845 treatments but do not contain any medicine. Participants are about 3 times as likely to receive BI 765845 than placebo.
Participants are in the study for 3 months. During this time, they visit the study site 7 times and get 3 phone calls from the site staff. At the visits, the doctors use clinical tests to check the health of the heart. The results are compared between the BI 765845 and placebo groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

In-Person vs Telehealth Cardiac Rehab for Heart Disease
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaCardiac 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.

Aerosol Generating Medical Procedures (AGMP) are procedures that have the potential to create tiny particles suspended in the air. These particles can contain germs such as viruses. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience unusually high rates of critical illness that needs advanced airway management and intensive care unit admission. Bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation, endotracheal Intubation (ETI) and chest compressions are sometimes required for critically ill COVID-19 patients, and may contribute to a high risk of infection amongst Health Care Workers (HCW). To lessen HCW risk during high-risk procedures, a device called an aerosol box has been developed to place over the head of the patient, shielding the provider's face from virus droplets suspended in the air.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand how particles disperse during AGMPs, more specifically during the provision of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The project team hopes what is learned from the project can help inform infection control measures. This could help make changes to the clinical environment and make it safer for HCW's. The investigators intend to explore how an aerosol box performs in reducing contamination of HCW's who perform critical airway interventions during resuscitation events.

ICM Implantation for Heart Attack
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaPatients 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.

High Calcium Crystalloid Therapy for Cardiac Arrest
Roanoke, VirginiaThe Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, in conjunction with Roanoke Fire-EMS, Botetourt County Department of Fire \& EMS and Salem Fire-EMS, are studying the outcomes of patients experiencing Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA). PEA refers to a type of cardiac arrest in which there is normal electrical activity in the heart however the heart still fails to contract to generate a pulse. Without heart contractions, which normally generates a pulse, the brain and other important organs fail to receive blood and oxygen. Unfortunately, the majority (97.3%) of patients that experience this rhythm do not survive and most don't even make it to the hospital. This study is trying to determine if the administration of a High Calcium, Low Sodium (HCLS) fluid in pre-hospital care will improve the chances of survival.
Generally, a sodium (salt) solution is provided to patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Studies have shown that lower sodium and higher calcium content may activate certain parts of the heart cells required to generate a pulse under PEA conditions.
This study is a double-blind, prospective, clinical trial. PEA patients will randomly receive either routine fluid therapy (salt solution) or a HCLS solution. While HCLS solution is not the standard fluid used by EMS providers responding to PEA, it is composed of FDA approved components and is occasionally used by EMS providers at their discretion in treating PEA. It is predicted that HCLS will either improve PEA survival or deliver similar outcomes as routine treatment. All patients will receive standard, high quality cardiac arrest and post-cardiac arrest care regardless of assigned treatment group.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Heart Attack 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 Heart Attack 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 Heart Attack 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 Heart Attack 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 Heart Attack 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 Heart Attack clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Health Coaching for Cardiovascular Disease, Digital Heart Health Program for Heart Disease and Norepinephrine vs Phenylephrine for Preventing Acute Kidney Injury to the Power online platform.
