About this study

The investigators will test if upfront dosing of Ranolazine can reduce myocardial biomarker release (CK-MB, Troponin) post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Read the detailed description

Ranolazine has been demonstrated to decrease angina, ischemia on perfusion imaging, improve diastolic function, and cardiac metabolism. Furthermore it has been associated with reduced cardiac arrhythmias, including non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. It has not been studied as an acute cardioprotective agent in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

We hypothesize that upfront administration of Ranolazine could decrease the myocardial injury associated with PCI due to all the factors listed above (i.e. precondition the myocardium). We plan to screen all patients scheduled for an elective coronary angiogram. Those who meet criteria and consent will be randomized to either receive Ranolazine or placebo twice a day for 3 days leading up to the PCI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Troponin

    Troponin labs will be drawn 8-10 hrs after PCI or at discharge whichever comes first

    Measured: 8-10 hrs post PCI

  2. CK-MB

    CK-MB labs will be drawn 8-10 hrs after PCI or at discharge whichever comes first

    Measured: 8-10 hrs post PCI

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. TIMI Flow Rate (Grade)

    This TIMI classification was developed by the TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) study group to semiquantitatively assess coronary artery perfusion beyond point of occlusion on coronary angiography.* TIMI Grade [Description] TIMI 0 - no perfusion [no antegrade flow beyond the point of occlusion] TIMI 1 - penetration without perfusion [faint antegrade coronary flow beyond the occlusion with incomplete filling of the distal coronary bed] TIMI 2 - partial perfusion [delayed or sluggish antegrade flow with complete filling of the distal territory] TIMI 3 - complete perfusion [normal flow with complete filling of the distal territory]

    *(see http://radclass.mudr.org/content/timi-grade-flow-grading-coronary-blood-flow-during-coronary-angiography) TIMI 0 is the least favorable grade. TIMI 3 is the most favorable grade.

    Measured: TIMI Flow Rate (Grade) is assessed immediately after an interventional reperfusion attempt during a PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure.

  2. Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation, Ventricular Tachycardia, or Ventricular Fibrillation in Coronary Cath Lab

    Abnormal heart activity

    Measured: During the PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure - starting at timepoint of guidewire insertion into the access artery until removal of guidewire

  3. Incidence of Non-sustained Ventricular Tachycardia or Atrial Fibrillation Post PCI

    Measured: Following completion of PCI through hospital discharge

  4. Left Ventricular End Diastolic Pressure (LVEDP)

    Measured: During the PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) procedure - starting at timepoint of guidewire insertion into the access artery until removal of guidewire

  5. Death, Myocardial Infarction (Biomarker Greater Than 2x Normal), CHF, Cardiac Arrest

    Measured: At discharge or within 1 days, whichever comes first

  6. Death, MI, Revascularization, CHF

    Measured: 1-4 weeks post PCI

  7. Successful PCI

    For the purposes of this study, a successful PCI is considered one where no additional coronary interventions were required within 24 hours after the initial PCI.

    Measured: At discharge or within 1 days, whichever comes first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ranolazine in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Harvey Hahn 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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2017. 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. 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2015). 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?

Troponin (time frame: 8-10 hrs post PCI). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Sep 2017.
