Cardiomyopathy clinical trials at UCSF

17 in progress, 10 open to eligible people

Cardiomyopathy is a disease affecting the heart muscle. UCSF is running trials to test new treatments for heart conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. One trial is studying the safety of TN-401, while another looks at the effectiveness of Aficamten. These studies help improve our understanding of heart disease.

Showing trials for
  • EDG-7500 in Adults with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (CIRRUS-HCM)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This study is being conducted in order to understand the safety and effects of different doses of EDG-7500 as a single dose in adults with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and as multiple doses in adults with obstructive or nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

  • Exercise Intolerance in Non-obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

    open to eligible people ages 18-80

    The EXCITE-HCM study is a randomized, controlled, blinded clinical trial designed to evaluate the effect of moderate intensity exercise training versus usual physicial activity on the improvement of HCM-related symptoms and cardiac function. About 70 participants will be recruited and randomized on a 1:1 ratio to either moderate intensity training or usual physicial activity interventions. Patients will be followed during a period of 24 weeks and assesesments as physical examination, questionnaires, 12 lead ecg's, biomarker levels, echocardiogram, Cardiac Magnetic resonance, PET and CPET will be performed to evaluate their response to the intervention.

  • Registry Study to Assess Real-world Patient Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, and Longitudinal Outcomes in Patients Receiving Mavacamten and Other Treatments for Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (Obstructive-HCM)

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This registry evaluates patient characteristics, real-world treatment patterns, and short- and long-term outcomes in a population of patients in the United States and Europe with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who are receiving mavacamten, receiving other treatment for obstructive HCM, or not receiving treatment for obstructive HCM due to intolerance or failure of prior treatment. United States Sub-Study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of mavacamten in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM in the real-world setting. Europe Sub-Study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mavacamten in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM in the real-world setting.

  • Evaluating Pulse Oximetry Bias in Children With Darker Skin Pigmentation

    open to eligible people ages up to 21 years

    In this prospective study, the investigators will enroll 154 children with arterial lines to determine the accuracy of pulse oximeters in children with darker skin pigmentation. Studies in adults suggest pulse oximeters may overestimate the true level of oxygenation in the blood as measured directly by co-oximetry. However, pediatric data are relatively limited. This study, which is funded by the FDA through the Stanford-UCSF (University of California San Francisco) Clinical Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (CERSI) Program, will determine if the error/bias is associated with skin pigmentation and whether the error falls outside FDA standards. The broader purpose of the study is to work toward eliminating health disparities.

  • Seroprevalence of Pre-existing Antibodies Against Adenovirus-associated Virus Vector (AAV9) and the Progression of Disease in Patients with Plakophilin 2 (PKP2)-associated Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC)

    open to eligible people ages 14-65

    This is a multicenter, non-interventional study to observe the natural progression of the disease and to study the prevalence of pre-existing antibodies to AAV9 used for gene therapy in a population of patients with PKP2 gene-associated ARVC. Participation from all patients is encouraged regardless of interest in or eligibility for gene therapy.
