Trial Name

Description of Trial

A5091005

A multi-centre, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, coronary artery intravascular ultrasound evaluation of the anti-atherosclerotic efficacy, safety and tolerability of fixed combination CP-529, 414/Atorvastatin, administered orally, once daily for 24 months compared with atorvastatin alone in subjects with angiographically documented CHD.

ACTFAST

Achieve cholesterol targets fast with atorvastatin stratified titration.

ACTION

A coronary disease trial investigating outcome with nifedipine GITS.

AEGIS-I

A phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study to investigate the safety and tolerability of multiple dose administration of CSL112 in subjects with acute myocardial infarction.

AIM-HIGH

Combination treatment regimen of simvastatin and extended release niacin (Niaspan®) versus a treatment regimen of simvastatin alone for the prevention of cardiovascular events.
AMPLIFY 056 Apixaban vs. warfarin and Enoxaparin for acute DVT/PE.

AMPLIFY EXT

Apixaban vs placebo in patients who have completed 6 to 12 months of standard anticoagulant treatment for index event.

APEX-AMI

A multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo controlled study of pexelizumab in patients with AMI undergoing primary PTCA.

A-PLUS

A phase II, two year efficacy trial to evaluate the effects of avasimibe on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis lesions as measured by intravascular ultrasound and coronary angiography.

AQUAVIT

A multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to evaluate the effects of vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist (SR121462B) on clinical improvement in patients with severe chronic heart failure.

ARISE

Aggressive reduction of inflammation stops events reduction of vascular inflammation and coronary atherosclerosis with AGI 1067, a V-Protectant, reduces cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease.

ARTS HF

A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, multi-center study to assess safety and efficacy of BAY 94-8862 in subjects with emergency presentation at the hospital because of worsening chronic heart failure with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and either type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without chronic kidney disease or moderate chronic kidney disease alone versus eplerenone.

ASSENT 1

Assessment of the Safety of a New Thrombolytic: TNK-tPA.

ACS patients treated with Aliskiren – Valsartan to reduce NT-proBNP.

BICAR

Clinical usefulness of sodium bicarbonate for the prevention of contrast induced nephropathy in patients undergoing a coronary procedure.

CARMELINA

A multicenter, international, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled cardiovascular safety and renal microvascular outcome study with LINAgliptin, 5 mg once daily in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at high vascular risk.

CART-2

Safety and efficacy of AGI-1067 as an agent to prevent post-angioplasty restenosis and coronary atherosclerosis progression.

CHARISMA

Clopidogrel for high atherothrombotic risk and ischemic stabilization, management, and avoidance. Ankle-brachial and ASA sub-studies.

CHARM
