About this study

Official title: Survival Improvement in Extensive Myocardial Infarction With PERsistent Ischemia Following Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Implantation

Patients presenting with large myocardial infarction and signs of persistent ischemia after successful percutaneous coronary intervention, have a poor prognosis with respect to outcome and development of heart failure in the future.

The hypothesis of this study is that in patients in whom persistent ischemia is present, use of intra-aortic balloon pump will be beneficial and improve outcome.

Read the detailed description

In some patients presenting with large myocardial infarction and poor hemodynamic condition, intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is effective in alleviating cardiogenic shock. In others, the use of intra-aortic balloon pump has no effect at all. The investigators believe this is dependent on the presence of persisting ischemia after successful epicardial reperfusion, known as no-reflow.

In the presence of persisting ischemia, the investigators believe us of the intra-aortic balloon pump will relieve ischemia and improve outcome.

What participants receive

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

  • Intra-aortic balloon pumpDevice

    Also called IABP, Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation

    The intra-aortic balloon pump is placed in the descending thoracic aorta and inflates and deflates in synchrony with the cardiac cycle, providing diastolic augmentation and improving coronary blood flow, while deflating before systole, providing afterload and workload reduction for the myocardium.

Study groups in NCT02125526
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IABP groupActive comparatorAfter primary percutaneous coronary intervention, IABP will be implanted for 12-24 hours to alleviate persisting ischemia
Receives: Device: Intra-aortic balloon pump
Control groupNo interventionAfter primary percutaneous coronary intervention, this group undergoes standard treatment according to the guidelines

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite endpoint of mortality, necessity for mechanical support due to hemodynamic deterioration, and hospital admission for heart failure

    Measured: 6 months

  2. All-cause mortality

    Measured: 30 days and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra-aortic balloon pump in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Persisting Ischemia, run by Lokien van Nunen 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 2 May 2019. 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 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?

Composite endpoint of mortality, necessity for mechanical support due to hemodynamic deterioration, and hospital admission for heart failure (time frame: 6 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02125526, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 May 2019.
