Trial summary

A novel Cardiac MRI sequence, developed by Dr. Maria Altbach (Double Inversion radial fast Spin Echo T2 mapping), has been tested clinically. It demonstrated a high sensitivity to the heart muscle swelling ("edema") in different types of heart injury, including heart attacks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: T2 Mapping of the Heart in Acute MI Population for the Prediction of Short Term Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events

A novel Cardiac MRI sequence, developed by Dr. Maria Altbach (Double Inversion radial fast Spin Echo T2 mapping), has been tested clinically. It demonstrated a high sensitivity to the heart muscle swelling ("edema") in different types of heart injury, including heart attacks.

The investigators propose to use T2-Map methodology in patients with acute heart attacks and to compare value of this method with other clinical and imaging parameters in predicting short-term (30 day) clinical outcomes of these patients.

If successful, the project will provide an effective risk-stratification tool to identify patients with heart attack as a result of atherosclerotic disease, who require more aggressive therapeutic approach and closer follow-up after initial hospitalization.

Read the detailed description

In the initial feasibility project, a novel Cardiac MRI sequence (Double Inversion radial fast Spin Echo T2 mapping)developed by Dr. Maria Altbach at the University of Arizona, has been tested clinically. It demonstrated a high sensitivity to the heart muscle swelling ("edema") in different types of heart injury, including heart attacks. The investigators have successfully tested the reproducibility of the new method in a series of healthy volunteers. The Phase I study revealed a robust clinical performance of the T2-Map sequence in multiple cardiac disorders.

Based on these promising results, presented on several international Cardiac Imaging meetings, the investigators propose to use T2-Map methodology in patients with acute heart attacks and to compare value of this method with other clinical and imaging parameters in predicting short-term (30 day) clinical outcomes of these patients.

If successful, the project will provide an effective risk-stratification tool to identify patients with heart attack as a result of atherosclerotic disease, who require more aggressive therapeutic approach and closer follow-up after initial hospitalization.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01796743
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlsAge and gender matched controls ('control' group) with acute MI with similar degree of troponin elevation who are managed based solely on the basis of clinical or angiographic data alone.
Cardiac MRIHospitalized patients with acute MI with a clinically-indicated CMR ordered will be enrolled. Data for T2 mapping will be added to the clinically prescribed cardiac MRI scan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of the estimated infarct and jeopardized myocardium size on T2 MRI images, Delayed Enhancement MRI, and combined functional/Delayed Enhancement MRI.

    T2 mapping has been tested clinically and demonstrated a high sensitivity to the heart muscle swelling ("edema") in different types of heart injury, including heart attacks. This project will assess the estimated infarct and jeopardized myocardium size based on T2 Map as compared to Delayed Enhancement MRI, combined functional and Delayed Enhancement MRI, and clinical data of the patients

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of participants with regional wall motion abnormalities in greater than 2 segments on in-house echocardiogram and LVEF<50%.

    T2 mapping data will be compared to other variables in a multivariable regression model predicting cardiac events (LV dysfunction (LVEF <50%) on predischarge echocardiogram.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Correlation of the infarct and jeopardized myocardium size to outcome measures (recurrent chest pain, new heart attack, post-MI arrhythmias, heart failure, rehospitalization and death) 30 days post hospital discharge.

    Correlation of the infarct and jeopardized myocardium size using the different modalities to to outcome measures (recurrent chest pain, new heart attack, post-MI arrhythmias, heart failure, rehospitalization and death).

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Correlation of the infarct and jeopardized myocardium size to clinical data

    Correlation of the infarct and jeopardized myocardium size to clinical data, including Age at hospitalization, Gender, Race; History of hypertension, Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, COPD, Right Ventrical Hypertrophy, Congestive Heart Failure, ventricular arrhythmia, syncope, sudden death, Chronic Kidney Disease, End Stage Renal Disease, Pulmonary Hypertension, Heart Surgery (CABG, valve, etc.), PCI (PTCA, stent), MI, cardiac cath, Hyperlipidemia, Smoking, Claudication, Systemic Disease, Other Pulmonary Disease; or Family History of Heart Disease

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction, Acute, run by University of Arizona 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 3 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 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. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Correlation of the estimated infarct and jeopardized myocardium size on T2 MRI images, Delayed Enhancement MRI, and combined functional/Delayed Enhancement MRI. (time frame: 2 years). 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 8 Feb 2017.
