About this study

Official title: Utility of Pro-calcitonin as an Indicator of Ischemia in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Subsequent Coronary Complications.

The aim of this study is to determine on preliminary basis weather an elevated pro-calcitonin level can be used to assess ischemia as a result of coronary artery complications during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Read the detailed description

Pro-calcitonin is a type of protein found in the blood. This protein has recently be found to be elevated in patients with diseases of the arteries of the heart such as heart attack.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is widely used in the treatment of many patients with blockage in the arteries of the heart.

the investigators normally used a marker called troponin after cardiac catheterization. However, this marker may not be specific.

Pro-calcitonin has been found to be a useful marker for the detection of myocardial injury. the value of Pro-calcitonin as a marker for the identification of myocardial damage undergoing PCI has not yet been studied.

coronary complicationpatients with coronary complication and patients without coronary complications. pro-calcitonin will be measured in both groups to see if any correlation.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Disease, run by Saint Michael's Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 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 United States. 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?

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?

Pro-calcitonin blood level (time frame: "0,24 hours post cardiac 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 NCT01609569, 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 22 Feb 2013.
