About this study

Official title: Study of Myeloid-related Protein 8/14 and Additional Biomarkers (Multi Marker Approach) for Early Diagnosis and Risk Stratification in Patients Presenting With Acute Chest Pain at the Emergency Department

The purpose of the study is the evaluation of multiple biomarkers related to acute coronary syndromes, including myeloid-related protein 8/14 (MRP 8/14), along with established clinical markers, for early diagnosis and risk stratification in patients presenting with acute chest pain at the emergency department.

Study hypothesis: MRP 8/14, alone or together with other established or new biomarkers, increases the earliness, sensitivity, and specificity of diagnosing acute coronary syndromes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Ischemia and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 May 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 Switzerland. 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.

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?

Diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (time frame: Emergency room and/or hospital stay). 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 NCT00657436, 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 May 2012.
