Trial summary

Myocyte necrosis occurs frequently in elective percutanious percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. This study assessed the cardio- and reno-protective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing elective PCI. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cardio- and Reno-protective Effect of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. A Prospective, Non-randomized Controlled Trial.

Myocyte necrosis occurs frequently in elective percutanious percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and is associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. This study assessed the cardio- and reno-protective effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing elective PCI. 200 patients were randomized into 2 groups: 100 patients received RIPC (created by three 5-minute inflations of a blood pressure cuff to 200 mm Hg around the upper arm, separated by 5-minute intervals of reperfusion) < 2 hours before the PCI procedure, and the control group (n = 100).

What participants receive

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

  • Remote Ischemic Pre-ConditioningOther

    The blood pressure cuff was inflated to a pressure of 200 mm Hg for 5 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of deflation to allow reperfusion. This procedure was repeated 3 times by the resident doctors in the pre-cath room

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of PCI- related myocardial infarction (MI 4a) at 24 hours after PCI.

    PCI-related myocardial infarction (MI 4a) was defined as cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) elevation >0.20ng/mL (5 times the upper reference limit) 24 hr. post PCI.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) at 72 hours after contrast exposure

    CIN was defined as an increase in the serum creatinine level of more than 0.5 mg/dl or more than 25 % from baseline within 3 days after procedure without any other identifiable cause of acute kidney injury.

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remote Ischemic Pre-Conditioning in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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 18 Sep 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 Egypt. 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?

Incidence of PCI- related myocardial infarction (MI 4a) at 24 hours after PCI. (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT02313441, 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 18 Sep 2019.
