Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prompt removal of thrombus (blood clot) from a blocked coronary artery using the AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy device will result in improved blood flow within the heart and a smaller final infarct size (reduced injury to the heart muscle).

About this study

Official title: AngioJET Rheolytic Thrombectomy Before Direct Infarct Artery STENTing in Patients Undergoing Primary PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction: [JETSTENT] Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prompt removal of thrombus (blood clot) from a blocked coronary artery using the AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy device will result in improved blood flow within the heart and a smaller final infarct size (reduced injury to the heart muscle).

Read the detailed description

Occlusive thrombosis triggered by a disrupted or eroded atherosclerotic plaque is the anatomic substrate of most acute myocardial infarctions (AMI). Macro- and microembolization of thrombus during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in AMI is frequent and may result in obstruction of the microvessel network, and decreased efficacy of reperfusion and myocardial salvage. Direct stenting without predilation or postdilation is the most simplistic approach to the problem of embolization, and may decrease embolization and the incidence of the no-reflow phenomenon. Other approaches to the problem of microvessel embolization include percutaneous rheolytic thrombectomy (RT) with the AngioJet catheter before stent implantation. The objectives of the study are: to assess whether RT before direct infarct artery stenting results in improved reperfusion success in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and angiographically evident thrombus; and to validate a technique for use of the AngioJet RT catheter in the treatment of STEMI.

Comparisons: Treatment with AngioJet RT immediately before direct infarct artery stenting versus direct stenting alone, in patients with STEMI and angiographically visible thrombus presenting within 6 hours of symptom onset for primary PCI.

What is being measured

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

  1. ST-segment resolution at 30 minutes post-PCI, assessed by 12-lead ECG

    Measured: 30 minutes post procedure

  2. Infarction size measured by technetium Tc 99m sestamibi imaging at 30 days

    Measured: 30 days post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Post-procedure- TIMI flow, TIMI myocardial blush, and corrected TIMI frame count

    Measured: post-procedure

  2. 30 days- Technetium Tc 99m sestamibi infarct size, MACE

    Measured: 30 days post-procedure

  3. 6 months- MACE

    Measured: 6 months post-procedure

  4. 12 months- MACE

    Measured: 12 months post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rheolytic thrombectomy with direct stenting and direct stenting in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 1 site in Italy.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 9 Oct 2014. 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 Italy. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

ST-segment resolution at 30 minutes post-PCI, assessed by 12-lead ECG (time frame: 30 minutes post procedure). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00275990, which also lists 2 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 9 Oct 2014.
