About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Effect of Ultrasound Beams as an Adjunct to Reperfusion Therapy in STEMI

Successfully perfused STEMI patients will receive routine transthoracic echocardiography qid for 4 days or placebo. Myocardial function and infarct size will be evaluated at 3 and 6 months.

Read the detailed description

Patients who had acute STEMI and successfully reperfused by either thrombolytic therapy or primary angioplasty and stenting will be included this study.

A basal routine echocardiography will be obtained in all patients after reperfusion therapy. Thereafter, patients will be divided into two groups: 1.Treatment group will receive transthoracic echocardiography using Philips HD11 XE ® for 30 minutes qid for 4 days. 2. Placebo group will have the same Philips HD11 XE ® echo transducer applied for the same time and duration on their chest but with the ultrasound turned-off. Detailed left and right ventricle function as well as performance index and stress-strain imaging will be obtained and analyzed at 3 and 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound beams Philips HD11 XE® in people with Myocardial Infarction and ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Sakarya University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ramazan Akdemir, MD (00905336020700, rakdemir@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Increase in left ventricular function (time frame: At 3 and 6 months). 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 NCT02299609, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Nov 2014.
