About this study

Official title: ErythroPOietin in Myocardial Infarction

EPOMI is a randomized, open-label, parallel phase II clinical study that will evaluate the effects of a single erythropoietin administration on infarct size and cardiac remodeling in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive conventional therapy and single infusion of 1000U/kg of epoetin beta or conventional therapy alone. Infarct size and cardiac remodeling parameters will be assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 3-7 days of the randomization and repeated 3 months later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in infarct size as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging 3 months after administration of study medication

    Measured: within 3-7 days of administration of study medication

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. End-systolic volume, end-diastolic volume, ejection fraction

    Measured: within 3-7 days of administration of study medication, and 3 months later

  2. Changes in hemoglobin, platelets, reticulocytes blood count

    Measured: during the first 10 days following study medication administration

  3. Occurrence of major cardiac event or venous thrombotic events

    Measured: within 12 months following administration of study medication

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EPO in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by University Hospital, Angers at 2 sites 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 17 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 31 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Changes in infarct size as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging 3 months after administration of study medication (time frame: within 3-7 days of administration of study medication). 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 NCT00648089, 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 31 Jan 2011.
