About this study

Official title: Hospital Mortality After ST Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Submitted to Pharmacoinvasive Strategy With Tenecteplase (TNK): Analysis of 398 Patients.

This study has the following objective:

To identify related factors to hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction submitted to pharmacoinvasive strategy within a structured healthcare network.

Read the detailed description

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is the main therapy for patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. However, a significant portion of these patients won't receive optimal treatment due to the small number of tertiary centers with interventional laboratories available for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Specially in large urban centers and rural areas, where tertiary care hospitals are restricted to a specific region, alternative approaches must be developed. The pharmacoinvasive strategy has emerged as an alternative for patients admitted to primary care centers. It is based in up-front intravenous thrombolytic therapy and transfer to a tertiary center where early, systematic, coronary intervention will be performed between 3 to 24 hours after the administration of thrombolytic drugs, even in cases in which successful reperfusion was obtained.

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?

Hospital Mortality (time frame: During hospital stay,an expected average of 15 days). 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 NCT01791764, 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 15 Feb 2013.
