Trial summary

It is unknown, if a modern prevention program, including intense nurse-coordinated education sessions, regular telephone contacts and a telephone hotline for 12 months, significantly reduces cardiovascular risk factors, clinical events and quality of life in myocardial infarction patients compared to usual care.

About this study

Official title: Intensive Longterm Prevention Program After Myocardial Infarction in Northwest Germany

It is unknown, if a modern prevention program, including intense nurse-coordinated education sessions, regular telephone contacts and a telephone hotline for 12 months, significantly reduces cardiovascular risk factors, clinical events and quality of life in myocardial infarction patients compared to usual care. Furthermore, actually no data on the additional effects and the feasibility of longterm telemetric care of cardiovascular risk factors exist.

The primary hypothesis to be tested is that an intensive longterm prevention program compared to the standard of medical care, will achieve better risk factor control and consecutively less clinical adverse events in patients after myocardial infarctions. The study endpoints will be evaluated after 12 months and during long-term course (after 24 months = one year after termination of the prevention program).

In a substudy the effects of short reinterventions ("Prevention Boosts") during long-term course are tested (IPP Prevention Boost Study). Patients with at least one insufficiently controlled risk factor at 24-months visit are randomly assigned to a short (2-month) reintervention vs. no reintervention. The effects of the reinterventions on risk factor control are evaluated after 36 months.

A further substudy focusing on young patients <= 45 years of age at time of MI (IPP-Y = IPP in the Young) was added after completion of the pilot IPP study. In this study we focus on the prevention program in young MI-patients. A retrospective analysis of individual genetic risk (assessed by genetic risk scores) in the young patients is included in this substudy.

What participants receive

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

  • Intensive Prevention ProgramBehavioural

  • Standard medical and interventional therapyOther

    Medical and interventional therapy following the standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevention score (point score of cardiovascular risk factors)

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Prevention success

    Improvement of one of the risk factors LDL-cholesterol, physical inactivity, smoking without deterioration of another (primary endpoint for IPP-Y = substudy on young MI-patients <= 45 years that was added after completion of the pilot study)

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Combined endpoint of clinical adverse events

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Adherence to prognostic relevant medication after myocardial infarction

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intensive Prevention Program and Standard medical and interventional therapy in people with Myocardial Infarction and Prevention Harmful Effects, run by Herzzentrum Bremen at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2020. 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 Germany. 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 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?

Prevention score (point score of cardiovascular risk factors) (time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Jun 2020.
