  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Inclusion Criteria Patients presenting with symptoms (onset of symptoms ≤ 12 hours) of a suspected acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina or MI without persistent ST elevation) characterised as follows

  • Clinical history consistent with ongoing ischaemic chest pain and/or symptoms AND
  • >1mm ST depression AND/OR ≥2mm T wave inversion in at least two adjacent ECG leads Pathological T wave inversion in leads 1+4 suggesting 'LAD Syndrome' Or Ischaemic ST depression/T wave inversion not fulfilling the above criteria that is felt in the opinion of the attending physician to represent an acute coronary syndrome. AND
  • Written informed consent Main exclusion criteria
  1. ≤ 18 years of age
  2. Previous Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery
  3. ST elevation myocardial infarction
  4. Left bundle branch block (LBBB)
  5. ST depression seen in patients during paced mode only
  6. Heart rate ≥ 150bpm
  7. Cardiogenic shock or other catastrophic state
  8. If in the opinion of the physician the patient is not suitable for revascularisation due to co-morbidity
  9. Patient participating in another clinical trial such that randomisation to DANCE would result in deviation from the protocol stipulations of either trial.

About this study

This is a pilot feasibility study to evaluate if patients with ST depression Acute Coronary Syndrome who are taken directly to the catheter laboratory for angiogram and angioplasty +/- stents will fare better that patients who are taken to the ward area and managed with drug therapy and stabilised for 24 hours before being taken to the catheter laboratory.

What participants receive

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

  • Immediate Invasive ManagementProcedure or surgery

    Patients allocated to the immediate invasive strategy will be taken to the catheter lab immediately (< 90 minutes from randomisation) in accordance with local primary angioplasty policy. Angiogram +/- same sitting PCI will be performed according to local policy and guidelines

  • Conventional ManagementProcedure or surgery

    Patients allocated to the conventional management group will have medical stabilisation and will undergo angiogram +/- PCI between 24 to 48 hours from randomisation according to local policy and guidelines

What is being measured

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

  1. Ambulance recruitment rate per million of population (corrected for 9-5 recruitment)

    Measured: 12 months (duration of study)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Percentage of patients recruited by the ambulance services ultimately manifesting a troponin positive Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS) within 72 hours

    Measured: within 72 hours

  2. Percentage of ambulance recruited patients, excluded from the trial ultimately manifesting a troponin positive ACS within 72 hours

    Measured: within 72 hours

  3. The extent of myocardial damage will be evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) for release of cardiac markers Creatinine Kinase Myocardial Band(CKMB) and troponin

    Measured: within 7 days

  4. Death at 30 days

    Measured: at 30 days

  5. Recurrent non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI) (after 72 hours) at 30 days

    Measured: at 30 days

  6. Additional unplanned revascularisation at 30 days.

    Measured: at 30 days

  7. Major bleeding

    Measured: 30 days

  8. Stroke at 30 days

    Measured: at 30 days

  9. Unplanned hospital stay (>72 hours)

    Measured: within 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immediate Invasive Management and Conventional Management in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 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 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. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Ambulance recruitment rate per million of population (corrected for 9-5 recruitment) (time frame: 12 months (duration of study)). 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 16 Sep 2014.
