Trial summary

This is the continuation of previous study (registration number: NCT00844987) which revealed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a very early, good marker of myocardial injury and prognostic factor for post myocardial infarction (MI) cardiovascular events presence in long-term follow-up.

About this study

Official title: Hepatocyte Growth Factor as an Early Marker of Myocardial Injury and Prognostic Factor of Cardiovascular Events in Log-term Follow up in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

This is the continuation of previous study (registration number: NCT00844987) which revealed that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a very early, good marker of myocardial injury and prognostic factor for post myocardial infarction (MI) cardiovascular events presence in long-term follow-up. Due to potentially very important implication of the results of previous study it was decided to continue research of HGF in patients with MI. Now, is scheduled to examine 100 consecutive patients with STEMI. HGF assessments will be performed just after admission to hospital, 1h and 24h later and before discharge. Two follow-up visits were planned i.e. at 3 and 6 months after MI. During hospitalization and at 6 month visit the echocardiography examination will be performed. The composite primary endpoint consists of cardiovascular events observed during hospital course and in long term-follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was examined in study number NCT00844987 as a potentially useful marker of acute myocardial injury. Results of the study confirmed efficacy of HGF as very early marker of myocardial necrosis and as a prognostic factor for cardiovascular events in long term follow up. Recent study is a continuation of previous study.

The aim is to confirm that maximal values of the HGF in first examination performed in ACS (acute coronary syndrome) patients and to show predictive value of HGF for early and late outcome in patients with ACS.

Materials and method: 100 patients with acute coronary syndrome will be included into the study. HGF will be examined four times i.e. just after admission, 1h and 24h latter and before discharge. In case of 10 patients will be performed 10 assessments during first day of ACS.

The follow up visits will take place 3 and 6 months after ACS. During hospitalization and 6 months later echocardiography examination will be performed and the extension of heart dysfunction will be assessed. Control group will consist of 10-15 health volunteers.

The primary endpoint is a composite endpoint which will include following cardiovascular events observed during hospitalization and during 6-month follow up: death, reinfarction, coronary interventions (PCI and/or CABG) due to new ACS or exacerbation of angina, symptoms of heart failure, rehospitalization due to cardiovascular events and stroke in context of HGF concentration in acute stage of ACS.

As a secondary endpoints will be considered: 1) death, 2) symptoms of heart failure 3)rehospitalization due to cardiac events observed during hospitalization or in 6-month follow-up. All this endpoints will consider in context of HGF values and values of routinely measured markers of myocardial injury.

What is being measured

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

  1. composite end point

    death, reinfarction, coronary interventions (PCI and/or CABG) due to new ACS or exacerbation of angina, symptoms of heart failure, rehospitalisation due to cardiovascular events and stroke in context of HGF concentration in acute stage of ACS

    Measured: 6-month follow -up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. death

    endpoint in context of HGF concentration in early stage of ACS

    Measured: 6- month follow-up

  2. symptoms of heart failure

    endpoint in context of HGF concentrationin early stage of ACS

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

  3. rehospitalisation due to cardiovascular reasons

    endpoint in context of HGF concentration in early stage of ACS

    Measured: 6- month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Myocardial Infarction, run by National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland at 1 site in Poland.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 5 Feb 2013. 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 Poland. 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 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?

composite end point (time frame: 6-month follow -up). 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 5 Feb 2013.
