About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-center, Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Reperfusion Strategy in Patients With STEMI (EROSION II)

This protocol describes a prospective, multi-center study intended to test the hypothesis that patients with STEMI caused by plaque rupture or plaque erosion without obstructive stenosis (diameter stenosis <70%) can be stabilized by effective antithrombotic treatment without stent implantation, thereby avoiding both early and late complications related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. All the patients will be followed by intracoronary OCT and physiological assessment at 1-month and 12-month follow-up.

Read the detailed description

EROSION (Effective anti-thrombotic therapy without stenting: intravascular optical coherence tomography-based management in plaque erosion) study, a single-center, uncontrolled, prospective, proof-of concept study, showed that for patients with ACS caused by non-obstructive plaque erosion, conservative treatment with anti-thrombotic therapy without stenting may be an option. However, it is unknown whether plaque rupture with large lumen area and non-obstructive stenosis can be treated medically without stenting. EROSION II study is a prospective, multi-center, observational study to test the hypothesis that patients with STEMI caused by plaque rupture or plaque erosion without obstructive stenosis (diameter stenosis <70% by visual assessment) can be stabilized and healed by effective antithrombotic treatment without stent implantation. Patients presenting with STEMI within 24 hours from the onset of ischemic symptoms will be included for screening. Thrombus aspiration will be performed in patients with large thrombus burden and TIMI flow grade less than 2 to restore blood flow. OCT will be performed after antegrade blood flow restored to assess the underlying mechanism of culprit lesion including plaque rupture, plaque erosion, calcified nodule, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and other uncommon reasons. OCT imaging of non-culprit vessels will be performed if feasible. Patients caused by plaque erosion or plaque rupture with minimal lumen area > 1.6mm2 or non-obstructive stenosis (diameter stenosis <70% by visual assessment) will be treated medically only with dual anti-platelet therapy for 12 months after discharge.

Serial OCT examination will be performed at 1-month and 12-month follow-up to assess the healing of original culprit lesion. Physiological assessment (either wire-based FFR or angio-based FFR) will also be performed to assess the hemodynamic function of culprit lesion. The primary endpoint is the reduction of thrombus burden assessed by OCT at 1-month follow-up. Presence of recurrent ischemia symptoms or positive FFR value are the indications for target lesion revascularization. Patients will be followed by phone calls by study coordinators or clinical visit at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. Major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) will be collected in all patients throughout the whole follow-up period. MACE is a composite of cardiac death, recurrent myocardial infarction, stroke, target lesion revascularization, major bleeding and unstable angina-induced rehospitalization.

Patients who do not meet the criteria after OCT imaging will be enrolled in registry cohort.

Blood sample will be obtained from artery sheath or coronary artery by aspiration catheter during the PCI procedure in selected sites. Blood samples will be stored at -80°C for potential biomarker test and multi-omics analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction of thrombus burden assessed by OCT

    The efficacy will be assessed by 50% reduction in thrombus burden by OCT at 1 month.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Major cardiovascular adverse events

    In patients treated conservatively, the safety objectives are to evaluate the occurrence of any adverse events during 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months follow up (re-infarction, re-hospitalization due to unstable angina, revascularization by PCI or CABG, cardiac death, stroke, and major bleeding).

    Measured: 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after PCI

  2. Major cardiovascular adverse events

    compare the difference of clinical outcome in patients with plaque rupture and erosion.

    Measured: 1 and 12 months after PCI

  3. Effective flow area increase

    Effective flow area increase

    Measured: 1 and 12 months after PCI

  4. Fractional flow reserve

    either wire-based FFR or angio-based FFR

    Measured: 1 and 12 months after PCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Harbin Medical University at 16 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 13 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 27 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in China. 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?

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?

Reduction of thrombus burden assessed by OCT (time frame: 30 days). 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 27 Jun 2022.
