About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Pharmacoinvasive Therapy With Prourokinase for Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients With Expected Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Related Delay

What is being measured

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

  1. angiographic parameters which can demonstrate the myocardium reperfusion, including TIMI flow grade (grade I-III), TIMI frame count (frame) and myocardial blush grade (MBG,grade 0-3).

    Measured: 90 minutes after prourokinase bolus

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. major adverse cardiac events [MACE, defined as the composite of all cause-death, reinfarction, revascularization (including target vessel and non-target vessel revascularizations), or rehospitalization due to new or worsening congestive heart failure]

    Measured: 12 month after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Prourokinase in people with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), run by Suzhou Landing Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 27 Jul 2012. 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 China. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

angiographic parameters which can demonstrate the myocardium reperfusion, including TIMI flow grade (grade I-III), TIMI frame count (frame) and myocardial blush grade (MBG,grade 0-3). (time frame: 90 minutes after prourokinase bolus). 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 NCT01642667, 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 27 Jul 2012.
