About this study

Myocardial damage occurs in up to 40% of cases when sensitive biomarkers are measured after coronary artery stenting. Such events have been associated with poor outcomes both at 30 days and long term. The cause of such damage is multi-factorial and includes distal propagation of atheromatous and thrombotic debris and the subsequent infiltration of the microcirculation with inflammatory cells. Individually or together these events can occlude the micro-circulation and lead impaired blood flow to heart muscle.

The vasodilator adenosine is commonly used in cases of impaired flow in an endeavor to improve flow rate and limit myocardial damage. Unfortunately the efficacy of this therapy is limited. More recently, there have been clinical studies looking at the administration of adenosine before any potential damage by ballooning or stenting, in an effort to avoid poor distal flow post procedure and thus limit any myocardial damage. Although small numbers of subjects have been included in these trials, there have been encouraging preliminary data.

The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of intra-coronary adenosine given directly into the target coronary artery prior to stenting can reduce the incidence of myonecrosis (heart muscle damage)over placebo. We also aim to assess whether this translates to better outcomes at 30 day follow up.

Read the detailed description

Prior clinical studies looking at the administration of adenosine before coronary artery stenting have looked at small numbers of subjects and did not mandate previous statin therapy or high dose loading of clopidogrel before stenting, both of which can also help lower the rate of peri-procedural myonecrosis.

Our aim is to assess the above mentioned therapy in patients on optimal treatment with statins, dual antiplatelet agents and standard of care anti-coagulants.

What participants receive

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

  • AdenosineDrug

    For lesions in the left coronary system the patient will receive either 120 micrograms of adenosine in 20 mls of normal saline or placebo prior to the wiring, pre-dilatation, stenting and post-dilatation of the target coronary stenosis. For lesions in the right coronary system the patient will receive either 60 micrograms of adenosine in 10 mls of normal saline or placebo prior to the wiring, pre-dilatation, stenting and post-dilatation of the target coronary stenosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peri-procedural myocardial infarction

    Measured: 24 hours post procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. TIMI frame count

    Measured: Final angiographic picture during the index procedure

  2. Death, myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adenosine in people with Coronary Artery Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2012. 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 Canada. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: At half the sample size, the results were negative with no benefit demonstrated with adenosine.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Peri-procedural myocardial infarction (time frame: 24 hours post procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Aug 2012.
