About this study

Official title: Effects of Autologous Bone Marrow Celss on Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

This study is aimed to assess the effect of bone marrow cells on arrhythmia risk variables in patients with a acute myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blinded study, where patients treated with thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction are randomized to receive bone-marrow derived stem cells or sham-infusion at the time percutaneous coronary intervention of the target vessel. The end-points are many arrhythmia risk variables, suchs as heart rate variability, T-wave alternans and many ECG variables as well as systolic and diastolic left ventricular function.

Being tested
intracoronary injection of bone marrow cells
Keywords
stem cell, acute myocardial infarction

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Arrhythmia risk variables

  2. left ventricular function

  3. restenosis assessed by IVUS

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. exercise tolerance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing intracoronary injection of bone marrow cells in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by University of Oulu at 1 site in Finland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Jan 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 Finland. 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?

Arrhythmia risk variables. 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 NCT00363324, which also lists 3 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 Jan 2008.
