Trial summary

Randomized comparison of abciximab i.v. versus i.c. in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The hypothesis is, that higher concentration of abciximab i.c. leads to improved epicardial flow, perfusion, reduction of no-reflow, reduction in infarct size and subsequently better outcome.

About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison of Abciximab i.v. Versus i.c. in Primary PCI Patients With STEMI and Effects on Infarct Size and Microvascular Obstruction

Randomized comparison of abciximab i.v. versus i.c. in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The hypothesis is, that higher concentration of abciximab i.c. leads to improved epicardial flow, perfusion, reduction of no-reflow, reduction in infarct size and subsequently better outcome.

Being tested
Abciximab i.v., Abciximab i.c.
Keywords
STEMI, infarct size, primary PCI, no-reflow, ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Abciximab i.v.Drug

  • Abciximab i.c.Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Infarct size and microvascular obstruction assessed by MRI

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. ST-segment resolution, TIMI-Flow, TIMI blush grade, ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes, clinical outcome (MACE)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Abciximab i.v. and Abciximab i.c. in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.

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 14 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 3 Jul 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 Germany. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Infarct size and microvascular obstruction assessed by 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 NCT00299377, 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 3 Jul 2008.
