About this study

Ischemic preconditioning (IP) has been shown in animal studies to increase the myocardial tolerance to subsequent ischemia. Our primary hypothesis is that remote IP reduces myocardial ischemic injury during PCI.

Read the detailed description

Our primary hypothesis is that remote IP reduces myocardial ischemic injury during PCI. We will also test the hypotheses that IP diminishes the inflammatory response to PCI, and that higher baseline blood endothelial progenitor cell counts are predictive of a favorable response to IP.

Aim 1: To evaluate whether remote ischemic preconditioning reduces the frequency of myonecrosis (troponin T≥0.03 ng/ml following PCI).

Aim 2: To evaluate whether remote ischemic preconditioning reduces the inflammatory response to PCI (post PCI hsCRP level).

Aim 3: To evaluate whether pre-procedure circulating endothelial progenitor cell counts correlate with the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning on myonecrosis.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) frequently results in ischemic myonecrosis. Ischemic preconditioning (IP) has been shown in animal studies to increase the myocardial tolerance to subsequent ischemia. Our primary hypothesis is that remote IP reduces myocardial ischemic injury during PCI.

Aims: The aims of the study are to assess in patients with coronary artery disease requiring PCI, whether remote IP reduces: 1) the frequency of myonecrosis; and 2) the inflammatory response to PCI; and 3) whether the effect of IP correlates with pre-procedure circulating endothelial progenitor cell counts.

Methods: The study is a prospective, randomized trial to assess the efficacy of remote IP as adjunctive non-pharmacological therapy for PCI in patients with stable or unstable angina. Remote IP will be performed by 3 cycles of 3-minutes of arm ischemia alternating with 3- minutes of reperfusion of the arm immediately before PCI. Myonecrosis and inflammation will be detected by measuring serum troponin T and high sensitivity C-reactive protein, respectively. Blood EPC counts will also be measured before the procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood pressure cuffDevice

    Also called sphygmomanometer

    Arm ischemia will be induced using a blood pressure cuff that will be placed around the upper part of the arm, and inflated to 200 mm Hg for 3-minutes and then deflated for 3-minutes

  • blood pressure cuffDevice

    Also called sphygmomanometer

    3-cycles of cuff inflation (10 mmHg)-deflation will also be performed in the control group for similar durations without inducing ischemia

What is being measured

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

  1. Post PCI myonecrosis measured as a maximum troponin T ≥0.03

    Measured: 16 hours post PCI

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Post PCI myonecrosis measured as an elevation in creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB> 1 X upper limit of normal)

    Measured: 16 hours post procedure

  2. Magnitude of ST segment elevation on an intracoronary electrocardiogram during balloon inflation

    Measured: During PCI procedure

  3. Coronary perfusion measured as coronary flow reserve derived from TIMI frame counts

    Measured: During PCI

  4. Blood high sensitivity C-reactive protein level

    Measured: Immediately prePCI

  5. Blood endothelial progenitor cell counts (EPC)

    Measured: Immediately prePCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood pressure cuff in people with Coronary Artery Ischemia, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Post PCI myonecrosis measured as a maximum troponin T ≥0.03 (time frame: 16 hours post PCI). 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 NCT00588042, 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 17 Apr 2019.
