About this study

Official title: The Randomized Physiologic Assessment of Thrombus Aspiration in Patients With Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Trial

The Physiologic Assessment of Thrombus Aspiration in ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (PATA-STEMI) trial is a single center, prospective, randomized trial with a planned inclusion of 128 patients with the first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients are, before coronary angiography, randomly assigned to thrombus aspiration using 6 or 7 French Eliminate aspiration catheter (Terumo Medical Supply, Japan) or to conventional primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary endpoint is index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), measured in infarct-related artery, in thrombus aspiration compared to conventional PCI group.

Read the detailed description

Background and Objective Routine thrombus aspiration is superior to conventional primary PCI in terms of improved myocardial perfusion in STEMI patients. However, myocardial perfusion after thrombus aspiration has not been evaluated by a quantitative, invasive method. Investigators intend to determine whether thrombus aspiration of the infarct-related artery increases myocardial perfusion, as measured by IMR, compared to conventional primary PCI.

Study design PATA-STEMI is a single center, prospective, randomized trial with a planned inclusion of 128 patients with the first STEMI. Patients are randomly assigned, before coronary angiography, to thrombus aspiration using the 6 or 7 French Eliminate aspiration catheter (Terumo Medical Supply, Japan) or to conventional primary PCI. The IMR will be determined in infarct-related artery and non-infarct-related arteries without critical stenosis to measure microcirculatory resistance. The primary endpoint is defined as IMR in infarct-related artery in thrombus aspiration compared to conventional PCI group. Secondary end points are myocardial perfusion grade and resolution of ST-segment elevation, infarct size and left ventricle remodeling, as assessed by echocardiographic indices. Transthoracic echocardiography will be conducted within 24 hours and at 4 months after the primary PCI.

Implications: If manual thrombus aspiration reduces microcirculatory resistance, indicating improved myocardial perfusion, as compared to conventional PCI, it might become the preferred strategy in patients with STEMI.

What is being measured

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

  1. IMR (mmHg seconds) in thrombus aspiration compared to conventional PCI group

    IMR will be measured after final balloon inflation or stent implantation, an expected average of 45 minutes after sheath insertion

    Measured: At the end of the primary PCI , an expected average of 45 minutes after sheath insertion

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Resolution of ST-segment elevation

    ST-segment resolution ≥70% at 60 minutes after guiding catheter removal

    Measured: at 60 minutes after guiding catheter removal

  2. myocardial blush grade (0-3)

    myocardial blush grade will be assessed after IMR measurements, following the final balloon inflation or stent implantation, an expected average of 55 minutes after sheath insertion

    Measured: at final angiogram, an expected average of 55 minutes after sheath insertion

  3. infarct size assessed by peak enzyme release (Troponin, creatine kinase MB (CK-MB))

    infarct size will be determined based on peak enzyme release (Troponin, CK-MB) during in-hospital stay, an expected average of 5 days

    Measured: in hospital course after primary PCI, an expected average of 5 days

  4. indices of left ventricle remodeling on Echocardiography

    left ventricle remodeling will be assessed on Echocardiography within 24 hours and at 4 months after primary PCI

    Measured: within 24 hours and at 4 months after primary PCI

  5. infarct size determined by SPECT

    infarct size will be determined by SPECT within 7-14 days and at 4 months after primary PCI

    Measured: within 7-14 days and at 4 months after primary PCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Eliminate aspiration catheter and Conventional primary angioplasty in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Clinical Centre of Serbia at 2 sites in Serbia.

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 8 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 5 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Serbia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dejan Milasinovic, MD (+381113613653, dejan_milasinovic@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

IMR (mmHg seconds) in thrombus aspiration compared to conventional PCI group (time frame: At the end of the primary PCI , an expected average of 45 minutes after sheath insertion). 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 5 Apr 2013.
