Trial summary

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with up to 30% incidence of myonecrosis, as reflected by elevation of cardiac enzymes in a successful procedure. Apart from side-branch occlusion, intimal dissection and coronary spasm, a possible aetiology of myonecrosis after PCI might be distal embolization of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison of Adenosin Intracoronary Infusion and Clopidogrel Pretreatment on Myonecrosis Occurence in Elective PCI

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with up to 30% incidence of myonecrosis, as reflected by elevation of cardiac enzymes in a successful procedure. Apart from side-branch occlusion, intimal dissection and coronary spasm, a possible aetiology of myonecrosis after PCI might be distal embolization of atherogenic materials from plaque disruption causing obstruction of blood flow at capillary level resulting in micro-infarction. Recent studies have suggested that pretreatment with adenosine in the cath lab and Clopidogrel and statins greater than 6 hours before may be associated with a reduction in infarct size after reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Whether pretreatment with adenosine decreases the incidence of myonecrosis in patients undergoing non-urgent PCI is not fully known. The investigators propose that adenosine-induced hyperaemia can potentially ameliorate the deleterious effects of distal embolization associated with non-urgent PCI through dilatation of the microvasculature. Mechanistically, this may reduce capillary obstruction by facilitating the throughput passage of embolized platelet thrombi out to the venous end of the coronary circulation, thereby reducing the incidence of post-PCI myonecrosis. In this prospective, randomized, open-label study, the investigators evaluated the incidence of myonecrosis after non-urgent PCI with a treatment with intracoronary adenosine compared with pretreatment of loading dose of Clopidogrel 300/600 mg >/< 6 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adenosin and Clopidogrel in people with Stable Angina and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 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 Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

20% (time frame: 12 months). 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 6 May 2009.
