About this study

Official title: Phase I - II Safety Study of Filgrastim (Neupogen) to Improve Left Ventricular Function After Severe Acute Myocardial Infarction

The objective is to obtain initial information regarding the safety and efficacy of the use of Filgrastim in the setting of acute myocardial infarction.

The secondary objectives are to obtain information regarding the mobilization of relevant stem cell progenitor cells by Filgrastim in this setting and to obtain further clinical information that may be helpful in the assessment of safety and efficacy of this drug as utilized.

It is a one center, randomized, placebo controlled, dose escalation, blinded study. It will be 2:1 randomization with 9 patients total.

Filgrastim 10 mcg/kg/day will be administered SQ for 5 days vs. placebo.

Primary endpoint is death /or myocardial rupture or change in left ventricular ejection fraction from baseline to 30 days.

9 pts. have already completed the first phase of the trial using Filgrastim 5 mcg/kg/day.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Filgrastim in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 19 Sep 2008. 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 United States. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Death or myocardial rupture at 30 days; change in left ventricular ejection fraction from baseline to 30 days (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT00215124, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2008.
