Summary

This trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the novel OCS Solution and OCS Functional Enhancer (OFE) to support FDA approval in both DBD and DCD heart transplantation. In addition, this trial will evaluate the performance of the novel OCS Solution and OFE compared to Static Cold Storage (SCS) in DBD heart transplantation to potentially demonstrate superiority.

A Phase 3, Open-Label, Multicenter, Extension Study of Acoramidis in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Variant Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ACT-EARLY OLE)

Date Added

PRO Number
Pro00148422
Researcher
Jan Griffin

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular, Drug Studies, Heart
Summary

This study is an open label extension of the ACT-EARLY study. which included those with no evidence of ATTR but are known carriers of disease causing TTR gene. ATTR stands for transthyretin amyloidosis. It is a condition in which a protein called transthyretin (TTR) accumulates in various organs, including the heart (known as ATTR-CM), kidneys, and nerves (known as ATTR-PN). This accumulation can lead to damage and dysfunction in these organs.

This study will continue using the study drug acoramidis (AG-10) to determine if it can help people with the genetic TTR variant slow the progression of ATTR. AG-10 is an investigational drug. Investigational means that AG-10 is not yet approved for use in any settings outside of clinical research studies like this one. Reducing the amount of TTR in your blood may reduce the amount of amyloid deposits in your body and may keep your cardiomyopathy from getting worse over time.

Participation in this study will last up to 60 month and will consist of about 13 clinic visits and about 11 telephone follow up visits. Some tests required include physical exams, medical and surgical history, bloodwork, questionnaire, electrocardiogram (test that records your heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of your heart) and study drug administration.

Saline Enhanced Radiofrequency (SERF) Needle Ablation for Refractory VT

Date Added
November 18th, 2025
PRO Number
Pro00147339
Researcher
Jeffrey Winterfield

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart
Summary

This study is testing a new treatment for people with a dangerous heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT). VT can cause the heart to beat too fast, leading to fainting, heart failure, or even sudden death. Some people continue to have VT even after taking medicines and undergoing standard ablation procedures. For these patients, current treatment options are very limited.

The investigational treatment uses the Thermedical Ablation System with the Durablate™ catheter. This device delivers both heat and saline (salt water) deep into the heart muscle to target the areas causing abnormal rhythms. The goal is to safely and effectively reduce or eliminate VT episodes in patients who have not responded to other therapies.

About 130 patients will be enrolled at up to 25 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Participants will have the procedure and then be followed for six months with regular checkups to see if the treatment reduces their VT episodes and improves their quality of life. This study will help determine if the new system should be approved for wider clinical use.

The Single Ventricle Outcomes Network (SV-ONE)

Date Added

Researcher
Frances Woodard

List of Studies


Keywords
Cardiovascular, Heart, Infant
Summary

SV-ONE represents the integration of NPC-QIC within the existing FON framework. As such, SV-ONE will engage in research and improvement efforts through the entire lifespan of patients with SVHD, including but not limited to those with a Fontan circulation. The larger objective of this study is to increase longevity and enhance the QoL by improving physical health and functioning, mental health and resilience, and neurodevelopment for individuals with SVHD and their families. A longer-term goal of SV-ONE will be to serve as a platform for research and improvement that will
accelerate advances, with the potential to nest clinical trials and to link to registries and programs,
nationally and internationally.

Summary

This study will have a 1:1:1 randomization post the implantation of the WATCHMAN DLX Pro Device comparing three different medications used after the WATCHMAN FLX Pro Device is placed. The goal of this study is to see how safe and effective the medications are after the device is placed. The three different arms include the following: Aspirin only for 12-month study duration, reduce dose non-vitamin K antagonist (VKA) oral anticoagulant (NOAC), either commercially available apixaban (preferred) or rivaroxaban for first 3-months, followed by aspirin, or Aspirin +clopidogrel) for first 6 months followed by aspirin only.

Machine Learning Guided Identification of Monogenic Cardiovascular Disorders

PRO Number

Researcher
Ramsey Wehbe

List of Studies

Keywords
Cardiovascular
Summary

In this study, we will look back at past medical records to test how well two computer-based tools can help spot two types of heart disease: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and a form of cardiac amyloidosis called transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). One tool analyzes heart ultrasound images (echocardiograms) using artificial intelligence to identify signs of these conditions. The other tool looks at patterns in electronic health records—like diagnoses, test results, and medications—to flag patients who may have HCM or ATTR. Our goal is to see how accurate and useful these tools are in finding patients who may need further evaluation or care.
