Trial summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of a pericardial adipose pedicle transposition (adiFLAP) for the improvement of cardiac function in patients with a chronic myocardial infarct. Preclinical studies in the porcine model of myocardial infarction have shown that AdiFLAP reduces infarct area. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a New Surgical Approach to Cardiac Regeneration: Pericardic Adipose Pedicle Transposition Over the Myocardial Infarct (adiFLAP Trial)

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy of a pericardial adipose pedicle transposition (adiFLAP) for the improvement of cardiac function in patients with a chronic myocardial infarct. Preclinical studies in the porcine model of myocardial infarction have shown that AdiFLAP reduces infarct area.

Read the detailed description

This novel intervention consists of the pericardial isolation of adipose tissue maintaining its vascularization to create an adipose flap (adiFLAP) and its transposition fully covering infarcted myocardium.

What participants receive

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

  • Pericardial adipose pedicle (adiFLAP) transposition.Procedure or surgery

    Patients with a established transmural necrosis, candidates for revascularization of other myocardial areas, will be enrolled. The non-revascularizable area will be covered by the adiFLAP and the revascularizable area will be treated with the normal procedure. A non-revascularizable area will be considered whenever a transmural necrosis is detected by means of gadolinium contrast using MRI.

  • ControlOther

    Patients with a established transmural necrosis, candidates for revascularization of other myocardial areas, will be enrolled. The non-revascularizable area will be left untouched and the revascularizable area will be treated normally (by-pass).

What is being measured

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

  1. Appearance of adverse effects derived from the procedure (7 days after the surgical procedure and 1 year follow-up).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Improvement of cardiac function as changes in clinical variables, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography, and biochemical variables (NTproBNP and high sensitivity troponin T).

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Pericardial adipose pedicle (adiFLAP) transposition. in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital at 1 site in Spain.

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 9 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 24 Jul 2015. 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 Spain. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Appearance of adverse effects derived from the procedure (7 days after the surgical procedure and 1 year follow-up). (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01473433, which also lists 3 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 24 Jul 2015.
