About this study

Official title: Comparison of Administration of Tirofiban in the Ambulance or in the Cathlab in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Angioplasty

In patients with acute myocardial infarction who are managed in the prehospital setting, and who will treated with primary angioplasty, we evaluate the benefit of an early administration of tirofiban, a powerful GPIIbIIIa inhibitors. Patients are randomised to early administration in the ambulance or administration in the cathlab. The primary endpoint is TIMI 2-3 flow in the first coronary opacification of the culprit artery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • tirofibanDrug

    Also called agrastat

    bolus of 25 µg/kg lasting 3 minutes then 18h to 24h perfusion of 0.15 µg/kg/min

  • tirofibanDrug

    Also called agrastat

    bolus of 25 µg/kg lasting 3 minutes then 18h to 24h perfusion of 0.15 µg/kg/min

Study groups in NCT00538317
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Experimentaltirofiban bolus + perfusion started at the site of caring
Receives: Drug: tirofiban
2Active comparatortirofiban bolus + perfusion started at the beginning of coronarography (usual use of tirofiban)
Receives: Drug: tirofiban

What is being measured

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

  1. TIMI 2-3 flow on first coronary artery opacification

    Measured: start of coronarography

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Protocol déviations of Tirofiban administration (no bolus, bolus decreasing or increasing of +/- 10% from expected value, dose perfusion decreasing or increasing of 1 ml/h from expected value, time perfusion > 24h or < 18h

    Measured: During tirofiban administration

  2. TIMI 3, TIMI 2 and TIMI 1-0 flow frequency in responsible artery before and after angioplasty

    Measured: before and after angioplasty

  3. left ventricular ejection fraction value

    Measured: during angioplasty

  4. CPK and troponin values (before and after angioplasty, peak and 24h after angioplasty)

    Measured: during 24h after angioplasty

  5. reduction of ST segment elevation (considered as resoluted if amplitude decreasing > 70%)

    Measured: after angioplasty

  6. Outcome of following Serious Adverse Events: anginal recurrence, infarct recurrence, urgent revascularization, serious heart failure and hospital mortality

    Measured: During hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing tirofiban 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 24 Nov 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 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.

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?

TIMI 2-3 flow on first coronary artery opacification (time frame: start of coronarography). 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 NCT00538317, 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 24 Nov 2008.
