Trial summary

In non-ST-elevation the optimal time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear. Some studies showed benefit of very early PCI, some others early PCI between 12-48 hours and others even showed a benefit of a selective invasive approach only in case of recurrence of symptoms or a positive stress test.

About this study

Official title: Leipzig Immediate Versus Early and Late PercutaneouS Coronary Intervention triAl in NSTEMI - LIPSIA-NSTEMI TRIAL

In non-ST-elevation the optimal time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unclear.

Some studies showed benefit of very early PCI, some others early PCI between 12-48 hours and others even showed a benefit of a selective invasive approach only in case of recurrence of symptoms or a positive stress test.

The optimal timing of intervention is still matter of debate as a result of a randomized clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

In this randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial we compare a very early cardiac catheterization (< 2,5 hours after randomization) similar to ST-elevation myocardial infarction treatment, versus an early invasive approach (within 2-48 hours after randomization) versus a selective invasive approach in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

All patients are treated with heparin, ASA, Clopidogrel loading dose (600 mg) with subsequent 75 mg/d and tirofiban for 24 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Timing of percutaneous coronary intervention in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by University of Leipzig at 5 sites 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 5 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 5 sites 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 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?

peak creatine kinase- MB level (time frame: 5 days). 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 NCT00402675, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Jan 2010.
