About this study

Official title: Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Combined to Local Ischemic Postconditioning in Acute Myocardial Infarction (RIRE-1)

RIRE-1 is a randomized, open-label with blinded end-point study that will test the hypothesis that remote ischemic preconditioning initiated at the time of the admission in the cathlab reduces infarct size in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Furthermore, it will determine whether a combined approach remote ischemic preconditioning and local ischemic postconditioning can further reduce infarct size. Infarct size will be determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 3-month follow-up and with 72 hours area under curve of CK-MB.

Read the detailed description

In the management of STEMI, prompt reperfusion of the jeopardized myocardium is the most effective way to limit infarct size, which is a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. However, restoration of blood flow may paradoxically have deleterious consequences and lead to lethal myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Local ischemic postconditioning (IPost) and remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPer) are promising methods to decrease ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The hypothesis tested in this research proposal is that RIPer initiated at the time of the admission in the cathlab reduces infarct size in STEMI patients treated with PCI. Furthermore, the investigators will determine whether a combined approach RIPer + IPost can further reduce infarct size.

What participants receive

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

  • ControlProcedure or surgery

    Deflated blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm for 30min

  • RIPerProcedure or surgery

    Blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5 min and then deflated for 5 min. This cycle is initiated as soon as possible after patient admission in the cathlab and repeated 3 times in total.

  • RIPer + IPostProcedure or surgery

    Blood pressure cuff placed on upper arm and inflated to 200 mmHg for 5 min and then deflated for 5 min. This cycle is initiated as soon as possible after patient admission in the cathlab and repeated 3 times in total. Within the first minute of re-established coronary flow by primo-stenting, the same balloon is re-inflated for 1 min and then deflated for 1min. This procedure of balloon inflation/deflation is repeated 4 times in total.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing RIPer and RIPer + IPost in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 18 Oct 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 France. 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.

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?

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?

Infarct size (time frame: 3 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 18 Oct 2013.
