About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multi-centre Observational Study to Evaluate the Diagnostic Accuracy of a Portable Magnetocardiograph Device for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), Focusing on Rule-out Capability, in Patients Who Present to the Emergency Department With Chest Pain Symptoms Consistent With ACS.

The study is a prospective multi-centre observational study to evaluate a portable magnetocardiograph device for the rule-out of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients who present to the emergency department with chest pain and other symptoms consistent with ACS.

Read the detailed description

Few, if any, studies have evaluated the rule-out (R/O) of non-ST-segment elevation (NSTE) ACS which requires the sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) of the test to approach 100%. An alternative triage approach, utilizing a portable magnetocardiography (MCG) instrument in the emergency setting, may lead to a more accurate R/O for NSTEMI, UA, and clinically significant non-ACS coronary artery disease (CAD), in patients presenting to the ED with chest pain. MCG in the emergency setting is a new use of this non-invasive technique and may serve as an adjunctive aid that can improve cardiac triage for NSTE ACS and clinically significant CAD.This raises the research question of whether MCG may be useful for the early triage of patients with acute chest pain. In the study protocol, a clinical evaluation is defined that will assess the ability of a portable MCG instrument, using a fixed algorithm, to R/O ACS, with improved safety (i.e. << 2% false negative rate) in patients presenting to an emergency setting with chest pain.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Chest pain patients presenting to the EDAll patients that present to the emergency department with chest pain and potentially other symptoms consistent with ACS and meet all eligibility criteria will undergo VitalScan Magnetocardiograph.
Receives: Device: VitalScan Magnetocardiograph

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of MCG

    Sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing ACS, focusing on rule-out, in chest pain patients with normal sinus rhythm

    Measured: at discharge, 3 months follow-up

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of adverse events and types

    Measured: at discharge, 3 months follow-up

  2. All-cause mortality (divided into CV and non-CV causes) proportion

    Measured: through 1 week and 3 months follow-up

  3. Change in sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing ACS, focusing on rule-out, in chest pain patients with normal sinus rhythm, according to low, intermediate and high PTP groups

    Measured: at discharge, 3 months follow-up

  4. MACE post-presentation to the ED (rule-out of ACS divided into MCG vs reference standard [adjudicated ACS/non-ACS diagnose])

    Measured: through 1 week and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Creavo Medical Technologies Ltd at 5 sites in United Kingdom.

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 3 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 3 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Sensitivity and specificity of MCG (time frame: at discharge, 3 months follow-up). 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 3 Apr 2019.
