Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients between 20 and 70 years with STEMI were eligible if they had a successful PCI within 12 hours after onset of symptoms.
  • The target lesion had to be located in the proximal section of the left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX) or right coronary artery (RCA).
  • Only patients with creatine kinase [CK]-MB >100 microgram/L or development of Q waves in the electrocardiogram were included.

Who cannot join

  • History of prior myocardial infarction
  • Diagnosed or suspected cancer
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3-4
  • Known severe claustrophobia
  • Significant stenosis in another coronary vessel than the acutely treated vessel, that might demand treatment with PCI or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) prior to the last follow-up exam.

About this study

Official title: Bone Marrow Stimulation With G-CSF in Acute Myocardial Infarction,

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effect of treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) bone marrow stimulation on circulating stem cells' ability to develop new blood vessels in the myocardium after an acute myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

Intracoronary infusion of bone-marrow stem cells after a ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) seems to improve cardiac function. An alternative strategy is increase of circulating stem cells by mobilisation from the bone marrow with Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF).

Objective: To determine the short-term (30 days) safety of G-CSF therapy after a STEMI treated with acute percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: Patients with STEMI treated with PCI <12 hours after symptom onset were randomised (1:1) to G-CSF (10 μg/kg/d) or placebo for 6 days in a double-blind design. Other inclusion criteria: age 20-70 years, culprit lesion in a large coronary artery, and peak CKMB >100 microgram/L. Follow-up was done after 1, 5 and 6 months, with an angiogram at 5 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor G-CSF (Neupogen®)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The pre-specified primary endpoint is change in regional systolic wall thickening from day 1 to day 180 evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in ejection fraction, end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes, regional myocardial perfusion, and infarct size by MRI

  2. Change in regional myocardial function by tissue Doppler echocardiography

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor G-CSF (Neupogen®) in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The pre-specified primary endpoint is change in regional systolic wall thickening from day 1 to day 180 evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00135928, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2011.
