Trial summary

Angioplasty is a commonly performed procedure for treating blockage of the blood vessels in the heart. Although this procedure is usually successful, it is often accompanied by a small degree of damage to the heart (i.e., small heart attack). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Remote Ischemic Postconditioning During Percutaneous Coronary Interventions.

Angioplasty is a commonly performed procedure for treating blockage of the blood vessels in the heart. Although this procedure is usually successful, it is often accompanied by a small degree of damage to the heart (i.e., small heart attack).

The purpose of this study is to find out if inflating a blood pressure cuff on the arm or the leg at the time of angioplasty for several minutes has a beneficial effect.

Patients will be assigned to one of three treatment groups: inflating blood pressure cuff on the arm, inflating blood pressure cuff on the leg and a control group.

What participants receive

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

  • remote ischemic postconditioningProcedure or surgery

    Three 5- minute cycles of blood pressure cuff inflation according to the assigned group. The cuff is inflated to 200 mm Hg (and at least 20 mmHg above the systolic blood pressure) for 5 minutes followed by a 5-minute deflation (reperfusion).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing remote ischemic postconditioning in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2014. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Myocardial injury after PCI. (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT00970827, which also lists 2 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 9 Sep 2014.
