About this study

Official title: Phase 4 Study of Application of Intracoronary Low Dose Streptokinase Complementary to Standard Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction: Effect of Adjunctive Intracoronary Streptokinase on Late Term Left Ventricular Infarct Size and Volumes in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

The investigators hypothesized that complementary intracoronary streptokinase administration to primary percutaneous intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction may provide limitation infarct size and improvement in left ventricular volumes and function in acute and late phases (6 months).

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular infarct size by SPECT

    Measured: at long term (5-6 months)

  2. Left ventricular diastolic volume

    Measured: at long term (5-6 months)

  3. Left ventricular systolic volume

    Measured: at long term (5-6 months)

  4. Left ventricular ejection fraction

    Measured: at long term (5-6 months)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Temporal changes (from baseline to 5 months follow-up) in microvascular perfusion indices (index of microvascular resistance, coronary flow reserve) and in infarct size have been interrogated in only control group.

    Measured: early phase (at discharge) and late phase (5-6 months)

  2. Reinfarction

    Measured: from recruitment until the last follow-up at 5-6 months

  3. Major bleeding

    Measured: from recruitment to discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Streptokinase and primary percutaneous coronary intervention in people with Acute Coronary Syndromes and Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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 23 Jun 2009. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Left ventricular infarct size by SPECT (time frame: at long term (5-6 months)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00627809, 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 23 Jun 2009.
