About this study

Official title: Female Sex is an Independent Predictor of Death and Bleeding Among Fibrinolytic Treated Patients With AMI; Results of the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries - V Trial

This study evaluated differences between men and women in the presentation, management and outcome of heart attacks within the GUSTO V study.

Read the detailed description

The Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Arteries in Acute Coronary Syndromes (GUSTO) V trial examined a large, contemporary cohort of women and men with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with fibrinolytic therapy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate sex differences in presentation, management and outcome in GUSTO V.

Being tested
fibrinolytic therapy or combination reduced fibrinolytic therapy
Medical subject headings
Myocardial Infarction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing fibrinolytic therapy or combination reduced fibrinolytic therapy in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by NYU Langone Health 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 0 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 4 Oct 2012. 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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Primary Outcome (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 NCT00245648, 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 4 Oct 2012.
