About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Study to Compare Abciximab-bolus i.v. Versus i.c. in Primary PCI in Patients With Acute ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

The purpose of this study is to examine whether intracoronary abciximab bolus application with subsequent 12 hour intravenous infusion in addition to primary percutaneous coronary intervention is beneficial for patients with STEMI in comparison to standard i.v. bolus application with respect to 90-day mortality, reinfarction and new congestive heart failure.

Read the detailed description

In patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the preferred reperfusion regimen, if performed by experienced operators in a timely manner. Nevertheless, myocardial damage is not immediately terminated after successful epicardial reperfusion by primary PCI. Current strategies are directed to improve myocardial tissue perfusion, which is impaired in approximately 50% of patients and which has prognostic impact. Adjunctive intravenous abciximab administration is an established therapy to improve coronary microcirculation and reduce major cardiac adverse events.5-10 In randomized clinical trials intravenous abciximab administration has been studied. Clinical trials have shown that earlier administration results in higher preinterventional TIMI-flow with subsequent improved perfusion post PCI. However, in a pooled analysis there was no effect on mortality. As door-to-balloon-times getting shorter in current trials, earlier abciximab administration requires treatment in the prehospital setting, which poses substantial logistic obstacles. Another option might be intracoronary abciximab bolus administration which results in very high local platelet inhibitor concentrations. This might be favorable in dissolution of thrombi and microemboli with subsequent improved myocardial microcirculation, reduction of no-reflow, and infarct size. Currently, there is only limited clinical experience on the efficacy of intracoronary abciximab administration mainly restricted to case reports, retrospective registries or small randomized trials. In a recently published randomized clinical trial, we were able to show that intracoronary versus intravenous abciximab bolus administration has beneficial effects on the occurrence of no-reflow and infarct size assessed by contrast-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging. This led to a trend towards improved clinical outcome. The composite major adverse cardiac event rate, defined as death, reinfarction, target vessel revascularization, and new congestive heart failure, at 30 day follow-up was 15.6% after intravenous and 5.2% after intracoronary abciximab administration (relative risk 3.00; 95% confidence intervals 0.94-10.80; p=0.06).

Currently, there is no adequately powered clinical trial to assess the effects of intracoronary bolus in comparison to standard intravenous abciximab administration. Due to its general availability and its ease of intracoronary administration this treatment has overwhelming potential in clinical practice, which is much easier to achieve than a logistically cumbersome prehospital or interhospital transfer administration.

In the era of evidence-based medicine, such a trial is of paramount importance to achieve a break-through in abciximab use and a reduction of the high associated morbidity and mortality of STEMI patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing abciximab intracoronary and abciximab intravenously in people with ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by University of Leipzig at 11 sites in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 20 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Germany. 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 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?

Combined clinical endpoint: death, reinfarction, new congestive heart failure (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT00712101, which also lists 27 linked publications.

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 20 Apr 2011.
