About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Study of Extra-Corporal Life Support in Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction

This study compares standard treatment plus Extra-Corporal Life Support (ECLS) versus standard treatment alone in patients with cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

Cardiogenic shock is a serious complication of a myocardial infarction. Despite optimal treatment the mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock still exceeds 50% and surviving patients mostly suffer from severe heart failure due to an impaired cardiac function.

This study compares standard treatment plus Extra-Corporal Life Support (ECLS) versus standard treatment alone in patients with cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction.

The main study hypothesis is to explore if additional treatment with ECLS preserves cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction) in patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction.

Being tested
Extra-Corporal Life Support (ECLS)

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on day 30

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. 30-day mortality

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Lactate levels

    Measured: up to 48 hours

  3. potentia hydrogenic levels

    Measured: 48 hours

  4. Length of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Long-term mortality at 12 months

    Measured: up to 12 months

  6. Length of ICU stay

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Neurological Outcome (modified Rankin Scale)

    Measured: up to 12 months

  8. MACE (defined as cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial re-infarction, rehospitalisation for cardiac reasons and the need of CABG or PCI)

    Measured: up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Extra-Corporal Life Support (ECLS) in people with Cardiogenic Shock, run by LMU Klinikum at 1 site in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 11 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 14 Oct 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 Germany. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on day 30 (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT02544594, 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 14 Oct 2019.
