Trial summary

We previously demonstrated that postconditioning by coronary angioplasty can decrease infarct size (as measured by cardiac enzyme release) in patients with ongoing acute myocardial infarction. It is currently unknown whether postconditioning actually decreases or simply delays myocardial cell death during reperfusion. Read more about this study

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.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male and female patients, aged more than 18, with suspected first acute myocardial infarction, within 6 hours of the onset of chest pain, with a need for emergency revascularization by angioplasty. Patients must display a fully occluded (TIMI zero flow) culprit coronary artery, absence of visible collaterals and exhibit TIMI flow >2 after direct stenting by angioplasty.

Who cannot join

  • Cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock
  • occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery

About this study

Official title: Postconditioning and Functional Recovery After Acute Myocardial Infarction

We previously demonstrated that postconditioning by coronary angioplasty can decrease infarct size (as measured by cardiac enzyme release) in patients with ongoing acute myocardial infarction. It is currently unknown whether postconditioning actually decreases or simply delays myocardial cell death during reperfusion. In addition, the long term effects of postconditioning on recovery of myocardial contraction remains elusive. The objective of the present study is to determine whether infarct size reduction by angioplasty postconditioning is maintained at 6 months and whether functional recovery is improved at one year post-infarction.

Read the detailed description

Randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial comparing postconditioning to control (no intervention). Postconditioning consists of four episodes of one minute inflation followed by one minute deflation of the angioplasty balloon, starting within one minute of reflow after direct stenting of the occluded coronary artery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Infarct size as measured by cardiac enzymes and MRI at day 5 to 7

    Measured: during 72 hours after angioplasty, and at day 5 to 7

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Myocardial contraction (LV ejection fraction, wall motion score index, strain rate) measured by echocardiography at 6 month.

    Measured: at 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Postconditioning and standard angioplasty in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 28 May 2019. 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 France. 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?

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 as measured by cardiac enzymes and MRI at day 5 to 7 (time frame: during 72 hours after angioplasty, and at day 5 to 7). 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 NCT00419198, 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 28 May 2019.
