About this study

Official title: Omission of Prophylactic Verapamil Use in Transradial Coronary Interventions

Background Verapamil is traditionally applied prophylactically in transradial procedures to prevent radial artery spasm. However, verapamil may have side effects and is contraindicated in some clinical settings.

Methods: During an investigator-initiated, randomized, double-blind trial, we evaluate the need for preventive verapamil administration. After vascular access is established, patients receive either 5 mg verapamil (n=297) or placebo (n=294). We compare the rate of access site conversions as primary end point using a superiority margin of 5%. Occurrence of code breaks (composite of conversions and unplanned use of verapamil), overall verapamil use, procedural and fluoroscopic times, contrast volume, and subjective pain are investigated as secondary end points.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Access Site Conversions

    Measured: Occurrence of access site conversion will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of Code Breaks

    Code break: a composite of access site conversion and unplanned use of vasodilators.

    Measured: Occurrence of code breaking will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

  2. Rate of Vasodilator Use

    Measured: Vasodilator use will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

  3. Procedural Time

    Measured: Procedural time will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

  4. Fluoroscopic Time

    Measured: Fluoroscopic time will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

  5. Contrast Volume

    Measured: The amount of contrast medium will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

  6. Subjective Pain

    Analysis of the rates of significant pain defined as pain score ≥4 on a semiquantitative scale ranging from 1 to 6.

    Measured: Subjective pain will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Verapamil in people with Coronary Disease and Verapamil Toxicity, run by State Health Center, Hungary at 1 site in Hungary.

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 4 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 2 Jun 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 Hungary. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Rate of Access Site Conversions (time frame: Occurrence of access site conversion will be assessed within 1 minute after completion of coronary angiography or intervention.). 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 NCT01402427, 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 2 Jun 2014.
