About this study

Official title: A Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Ramipril 5 and 10 mg Capsules and Insulin Infusion in Subjects With Unstable Coronary Syndromes

Study objectives:

  • To demonstrate that the acute administration of ramipril will control the inflammation process in patients with high-risk Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) as assessed by the high sensitivity C-reactive protein blood levels.
  • To demonstrate that the normalization of blood glucose levels with intravenous insulin will improve the inflammation process during the acute phase of an ACS as assessed by Tumor necrosis factor alpha blood levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the highly specific C-reactive protein (hsCRP) blood levels

    Measured: during the study conduct

  2. To assess the tumor necrosing factor alpha (TNFα) blood levels

    Measured: during the study conduct

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. TEAEs collection

    Measured: From the signature of the informed consent up to the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ramipril in people with Myocardial Ischemia, run by Sanofi.

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 5 inclusion and 24 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 11 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

To assess the highly specific C-reactive protein (hsCRP) blood levels (time frame: during the study conduct). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jan 2011.
