Clinical Studies

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of RBT-1 on Reducing the Risk of Post-Operative Complications in Subjects Undergoing Cardiac Surgery and Sub-Study of Clinical Protocol REN-007: A Population Pharmacokinetic (popPK) Evaluation of RBT-1 (PROTECT) Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is is to evaluate the effect of RBT-1 on reducing the risk of post-operative complications in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Multimodality Evaluation of Left Ventricular Remodeling In Mitral Regurgitation: A Pilot Study Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to use a multimodal approach to mitral valve evaluation using cardiac CT and MRI, which have shown superior accuracy in assessing anatomic and functional parameters relative to standard-of-care echocardiography. By evaluating 30 patients undergoing robotic mitral annuloplasty, this study aims to establish the feasibility of further prospective evaluation of CT and MRI for preoperative risk stratification. Enhanced risk stratification could significantly improve patient outcomes.

Hybrid Convergent of Epicardial and Endocardial RF Ablation for the Treatment of Symptomatic Longstanding Persistent AF Rochester, Minn. The primary objective of CONVERGE PAS is to evaluate clinical outcomes (peri-procedural and long-term) in a cohort of patients treated during commercial use of the EPi-Sense® Guided Coagulation System or EPi-Sense ST™ Coagulation System to treat symptomatic long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who are refractory or intolerant to at least one Class I and/or III AAD.
