Trial summary

Heart attacks are usually caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying blood to the heart. Current treatments are designed to relieve this blockage as quickly as possible to minimize damage to the heart muscle. Read more about this study

About this study

Heart attacks are usually caused by a blood clot blocking an artery supplying blood to the heart. Current treatments are designed to relieve this blockage as quickly as possible to minimize damage to the heart muscle. However in restoring the supply of blood local damage known as "ischaemia-reperfusion injury" may occur. The aim of this study is to assess how clot forming and clot dissolving pathways are affected during this process, and examine the role of a natural inflammatory hormone, bradykinin. This will help the investigators to understand the mechanism by which ischaemia-reperfusion injury may occur and to devise new treatments for heart attacks.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Forearm vascular studyProcedure or surgery

    Forearm blood flow measured by venous occlusion plethysmography during interarterial infusion of vasodilators (Ach). Venous blood sampling via cannula in antecubital fossa.

  • bradykinin receptor antagonist (HOE-140)Drug

    Systemic infusion of bradykinin receptor antagonist (HOE-140).

  • Placebo (saline)Drug

    Systemic infusion of placebo (saline).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in forearm blood flow in response to vasodilators (ACh) and ischaemia reperfusion

    Measured: 20 fixed timepoints during each study visit (3hrs)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in platelet-monocyte-binding after ischaemia reperfusion

    Measured: 4 fixed timepoints during each study visit (3hrs)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Forearm vascular study and bradykinin receptor antagonist (HOE-140) in people with Ischaemic Heart Diseases, run by University of Edinburgh at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 25 Oct 2010. 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 United Kingdom. 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.

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?

Change in forearm blood flow in response to vasodilators (ACh) and ischaemia reperfusion (time frame: 20 fixed timepoints during each study visit (3hrs)). 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 NCT00965120, 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 25 Oct 2010.
