About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Delayed Plaque Morphology by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Patients With Acute ST Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) After Thrombus Aspiration During Primary Percutaneous Intervention (PCI)

The purpose of this study is to characterize the plaque morphology in patients with acute STEMI by OCT after aspiration thrombectomy.

Read the detailed description

Current guideline for treating acute STEMI is primarily PCI and stent placement in the infarct-related coronary artery. But, the underlying plaque morphology is not routinely identified due to the limited resolution of conventional imagine modalities. However, autopsy studies have shown that there are different atherosclerotic plaque morphologies involving in acute thrombotic occlusion of coronary arteries other than atherosclerotic plaque rupture, such as plaque erosion, calcified nodule, etc. Some studies have suggested that PCI and stenting might not always be necessary in about 30 - 40% of ACS patients, and an alternative treatment strategy is needed for these patients based on the characteristics of plaque morphology.

100 subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will undergo emergent angiography and followings: If no thrombus was observed, OCT examination will be performed in the target vessel;

If thrombosis was confirmed, the subject will undergo manual aspiration thrombectomy and antiplatelet therapy, and TIMI flow will be assessed:

If TIMI flow grade < 3, the subject will receive stent implantation as the standard of care followed by OCT examination; If TIMI flow grade of 3, the subject will not receive stent implantation but will be sent to CCU for monitoring and antiplatelet treatment, and have a repeat angiography and OCT examination at Day 7; within the 7days post STEMI, ischemia-driven angiography and/or PCI are allowed, and an OCT examination will be performed in these subject before PCI.

Patients without undergoing initial stent implantation will have scheduled 30-day and 12-month follow-ups for clinical outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by Jian'an Wang,MD,PhD.

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 11 inclusion and 14 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 10 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

plaque morphology by OCT (time frame: at the 7th day post PCI/aspiration thrombectomy). 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 10 Mar 2015.
