Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is > 21 years of age and provides informed consent.
  • Evidence of AMI as indicated by signs and symptoms. Diagnosis of ST-segment elevation AMI will be based on chest pain for >30 minutes and ST-segment elevation of >1mV in 2 limb lead or >2mV in 2 anterior leads contiguous leads on the 12-lead ECG.

  • Angiographic: The target lesion in the infarct related artery (IRA) should be occluded (TIMI).
  • Angiographic: The target lesion in the proximal or middle segment of a native major coronary artery (LAD, RCA or dominant CX).
  • Angiographic: The target lesion should be suitable for PTCA or stenting.

About this study

Official title: Clinical and MRI Evaluation of 2 Vs 4 Cycles of Postconditioning During Primary PCI With Direct Stenting

To determine the safety and efficacy of 2 vs 4 cycles of postconditioning method during primary PCI and direct stenting in acute MI, and to compared to primary PCI and direct stenting without the postconditioning.

Read the detailed description

Sample size: 45 subjects

Site Locations: Sheba medical center

Patients: Patients presenting with an acute MI with onset of symptoms  6h, and planned to undergo primary PCI will be included. The target lesion should be located in the proximal or middle segment of a main native coronary artery, and should be suitable for percutaneous intervention.

Primary Objective: To determine the safety and efficacy of 2 vs 4 cycles of postconditioning method during primary PCI and direct stenting in acute MI, and to compared to primary PCI and direct stenting without the postconditioning.

Primary Endpoint:

  • ST segment resolution.
  • Segmental wall motion score, resolution of edema and wall thickness by echocardiography.
  • Infarct size estimation by cardiac enzymes and cardiac MRI.

Secondary endpoints:

  • Composite endpoint of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at 30 and 90 days

Methods:

  • ECG at baseline, immediately after procedure, 90 and 180 minutes after the procedure and 6-24 hours after intervention.
  • Core laboratory angiography measurements of TIMI flow, corrected TIMI Frame count, myocardial blush score and left ventricular angiography.
  • Myocardial enzymes measurements: every 4 hours in the first 24 hours and every 6 hours in the following 48 hours.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction and wall motion score determined by echocardiography.
  • Cardiac MRI estimation of infarct size. • Clinical follow-up at 30 and 90 days post procedure.

Follow-up:

  • Follow up at 30 days: Clinical.
  • Clinical Follow up \& Cardiac MRI at 90 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Postconditioning in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Sheba 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 8 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2006. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Victor Guetta, MD (972-52-6667127, victor.Guetta@health.sheba.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ST segment resolution.. The study lists 3 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 NCT00351247, 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 12 Jul 2006.
