About this study

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study, clinical trail designed to evaluate the efficacy safety and superiority of intravenous boluses of isosorbide dinitrate for the relief of acute anginal pain episodes in acute coronary syndrome patients in comparison with the usual manner of S/L isosorbide dinitrate .

Read the detailed description

Analgesia is an important element in the management of ACS patients. Pain contributes to the heightened sympathetic activity that is particularly prominent during periods of acute STEMI, NSTEMI and unstable angina and consequentially causes elevation of tissue oxygen demand. Control of cardiac pain is typically accomplished with a combination of oxygen, analgesic (e.g. morphine) beta blockers agents and primarily nitrates.

Sublingual nitrates are currently the guidelines recommended preparation for instant relief of brief episodes of pain. In patients with prolonged periods of waxing and waning chest pain, drip of intravenous nitrates may be of benefit in controlling of symptoms and correcting ischemia.

Intravenous nitrates are also indicated for the treatment of acute decompensated CHF patients with pulmonary edema, nevertheless the current treatment for these patients edema is repeated intravenous boluses of and not sublingual isosorbide dinitrate, followed by continuous drip. Although there is no hard data on intravenous high-dose nitrates for the relief of acute anginal pain episodes, our clinical impression with this method is excellent.

Intravenous boluses of isosorbide dinitrate in a hospital setting provides immediate, accurate (bioavailability ) and is an easily controlled modality for providing nitrates.

Since intravenous boluses of isosorbide dinitrate is the standard care for acute anginal pain episodes in our ICCU at this time, a well designed comparative study for the two methods would help it to become a guideline and not a matter of choice in these cases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing iso sorbide dinitrate iv bolus or s/l in people with Unstable Angina and Myocardial Infarction, run by Soroka University Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2010. 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 Israel. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

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 28 Jan 2010.
