About this study

Official title: Reduction in Infarct Size by Remote Per-postconditioning in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction in Stockholm (RECOND)

  • Trial objective: To test the hypothesis that remote per-postconditioning in connection with primary PCI will reduce myocardial infarct size patients with STEMI.
  • Trial Design: Placebo controlled randomized study with parallel groups
  • Primary Endpoint: Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) day 4-7
  • Efficacy Parameters: Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage to the myocardium at risk determined by CMR at 6 months.
  • Global left ventricular function determined by left ventricular ejection fraction determined by CMR.
  • Microvascular obstruction determined by CMR day 4-7. Quantified ECV (extracellular volume) in left ventricular as myocardium at risk day 4-7 and remodelling parameters day 180.
  • Safety Parameters: Major adverse cardiovascular events.

What participants receive

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

  • Primary Percutaneous Coronary InterventionProcedure or surgery

    Primary Percutanous Coronary Intervention is performed in both Groups.

Study groups in NCT02021760
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Remote Ischemic per-postconditioningActive comparatorRemote conditioning is induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff around the left thigh to 200 mmHg or 20 mmHg above systolic blood pressure (if >180 mmHg) for 5 min followed by deflation for 5 min. At least one of these conditioning cycles is performed before PCI is initiated. If time allows, cycles of remote conditioning (5 min leg ischemia and 5 min reperfusion) are repeated until PCI is performed. Following reperfusion, defined as first balloon inflation, four additional cycles of remote conditioning will be performed.
Receives: Procedure: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
ShamSham comparatorThe sham procedures include application of the cuff around the thigh but it is not inflated. Otheriwize normal primary PCI.
Receives: Procedure: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

    Measured: 4-7 days following index event

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage to the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

    Measured: 6 months following index event

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by John Pernow at 3 sites in Sweden.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Sweden. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (time frame: 4-7 days following index event). 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 9 Feb 2016.
