Clinical trials

All consecutive patients hospitalized from 01.01.2020 to 30.09.2025 who underwent coronary angiography or PCI will be eligible for inclusion. The final analysis will be limited to individuals in whom the volume of ICM administered during the index procedure was between 50 and 500 mL and for whom both pre- and post-procedure serum creatinine measurements were available. The primary objective of the study is the effect of short-term and long-term SGLT2i therapy on the occurrence of CI-AKI in patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures with ICM.

The FLORA-ACS study aims to evaluate the relationship between dysbiosis and high platelet reactivity during treatment with ticagrelor in patients with a history of acute coronary syndromes and investigate the use of rifaximin to eliminate dysbiosis and thus provide effective antiplatelet treatment.

The DEMETER - SIRIO 11 study is a phase III, multicenter, randomized, open-labled, investigator-initiated clinical trial with a 6 month follow-up. The study population will include 200 subjects with diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. All enrolled patients (nn=200) will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to one of the two study arms: 1. Empagliflozin 20 mg - experimental arm 2. Empagliflozin 10 mg - control arm. Primary co-endpoints of the study include: BMI and HbA1c. Secondary endpoints include: LDL-C, triglycerides, CRP, NT-proBNP, LVEF (echocardiography), body composition, VO2max (ergospirometry), waist-hip ratio (WHR), liver steatosis assessment (LSA) by computed tomography (CT), major adverse cardiovascular events - MACE (based on medical history: heart attack, stroke, death), cardiovascular hospitalizations.
