What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of detection of thrombus with MSCT as compared to IVUS and OCT will be investigated.

    All imaging methods will be performed in each patient. A 24 hour period is the maximum allowed time gap between MSCT and invasive imaging (OCT/IVUS).

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Accuracy of atherosclerotic plaque characterisation with MSCT as compared to IVUS and OCT will be investigated.

    A maximum interval of 24 hours between MSCT and IVUS/OCT is allowed in this study.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imaging in people with Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2014. 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 Netherlands. 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 stopped early (reason given: The study was terminated based on an included stopping rule in the study protocol). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Accuracy of detection of thrombus with MSCT as compared to IVUS and OCT will be investigated. (time frame: 24 hours). 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 11 Sep 2014.
