About this study

Official title: Safety of a Early Discharge Strategy in Patients With Low-risk ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Coronary Intervention: a Randomized Controlled Trial

  • Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of an early discharge strategy in patients with low risk ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), compared to a conventional strategy.
  • Methodology: Unicentric, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority and open label clinical trial. The investigators will compare an early discharge strategy (≤72 hours) with a conventional strategy (discharge according to treating physician's criterion). Inclusion criteria will be: low risk (Zwolle risk score ≤3) STEMI treated with PPCI within 24 hours from symptoms onset. Exclusion criteria will be: arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, asystole, pulseless electrical activity, advanced atrio-ventricular block), mechanical complications (cardiac tamponade, free-wall or septal rupture, acute mitral regurgitation, pericarditis), severe or moderate bleeding (according to the GUSTO criteria), complications related to vascular access of the procedure, acute kidney failure, infection, heart failure. Sample size will be 1558 subjects (n=779 per group). The investigators will study demographic, clinical, biochemical, echocardiographic and angiographic variables. The primary endpoint will be a composite of death, reinfarction, new angina, heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, stroke and severe bleeding. The secondary endpoint will include each of the items of the primary endpoint and quality of life and functional capacity questionnaire SF-36. Finally, the investigators will analyze the degree of compliance with the European Society of Cardiology guidelines on STEMI and the rate of hospitalization-related complications. Follow up will be at 30 days.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All cause mortality, new acute myocardial infarction, new unstable angina, heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias, stroke and severe bleeding. (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT01868256, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 4 Jun 2013.
