About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Intracoronary Infusion of Different Medicine With Targeted Perfusion Catheter on Myocardial Perfusion in Patients With STEMI Undergoing Primary PCI:an Open,Prospective,Randomized,Multicenter Trial.

The study intends to evaluate the efficacy of different medicine delivering by targed perfusion catheter incoronary administration on epicardial, myocardial perfusion and clinical outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

Read the detailed description

The goal of STEMI therapy is to successfully restore both epicardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion. PCI has been documented as being the most effective method for restoration of epicardial blood flow. However, epicardial blood flow does not necessarily equate to myocardial perfusion; not every patient with TIMI 3 flow after successful PCI achieves effective myocardial tissue-level perfusion. Although epicardial TIMI 3 flow could be restored in >90% of STEMI patients undergoing PCI, normalization of myocardial perfusion was achieved less frequently, with detrimental impacts on survival。 Currently, there are two main methods of angiographic assessment of myocardial perfusion: TIMI myocardial perfusion grading (TMPG), described by Gibson et al. and myocardial blush grading (MBG), described by Van't Hof et al. These established myocardial perfusion parameters, TMPG and MBG, have been widely used in various important trials and are reported to be highly useful in predicting clinical outcomes. However, visual assessment of these methods is categorical, subjective, and operator dependent. TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Frame Count (TMPFC), a novel and objective method that measures the filling and clearance of contrast in the myocardium using cine-angiographic frame-counting, was developed by our center to quantify myocardial tissue- level perfusion and was proved to be a predictive value on clinical prognosis.

Currently, there are two main types of interventions to improve myocardial perfusion . One kind is the mechanical method, which included thrombus aspiration catheter and the distal protective devices. It has been confirmed that the mechanical method can effectively improve epicardial and myocardial perfusion in patient with part of large vessels and high burden thrombus. But for patients with small vessels and no obvious visual thrombus, the efficacy is not significant.

The other kind intervention is medicine which included GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist , adenosine , sodium nitroprusside, verapamil etc. Part of the drugs have some effect but the overall clinical efficacy is still not satisfied.

The study intends to use targeted perfusion catheter to deliver drug to the distal targeted blood vessels. TMPFC and TMPG are applied to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with Nicorandil versus Alprostadil on myocardial tissue-level perfusion in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.

What is being measured

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

  1. TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Frame Count (TMPFC)

    TMPFC is a novel method to standardize and quantify myocardial perfusion by timing the filling and washout of contrast in the myocardium using cine-angiographic frame-counting. Briefly, the first frame of TMPFC was defined as the frame that clearly demonstrated the first appearance of myocardial blush beyond the IRA (F1). The last frame of TMPFC was then defined as the frame where contrast or myocardial blush disappeared (F2). TMPFC is F2-F1 frame counts at a filming rate of 15 frames/sec, or (F2-F1)×2 frame counts at the corrected filming rate of 30 frames/sec

    Measured: One mins after PCI

  2. TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Frame Count (TMPFC)

    TMPFC is a novel method to standardize and quantify myocardial perfusion by timing the filling and washout of contrast in the myocardium using cine-angiographic frame-counting. Briefly, the first frame of TMPFC was defined as the frame that clearly demonstrated the first appearance of myocardial blush beyond the IRA (F1). The last frame of TMPFC was then defined as the frame where contrast or myocardial blush disappeared (F2). TMPFC is F2-F1 frame counts at a filming rate of 15 frames/sec, or (F2-F1)×2 frame counts at the corrected filming rate of 30 frames/sec

    Measured: One mins after intracoronary medicine infusion post-PCI

  3. TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG)

    TMPG is an angiographic measure of myocardial perfusion

    Measured: One mins after PCI

  4. TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG)

    TMPG is an angiographic measure of myocardial perfusion

    Measured: One mins after intracoronary medicine infusion post-PCI

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. ST-segment Resolution

    Resolution of the initial sum of ST-segment elevation ≥ 70%

    Measured: 90 mins after PCI

  2. Myocardial-specific isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) enzyme levels peri-PCI

    Infarct size is measured by the myocardial-specific isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB) area under the curve, calculated by the linear-trapezoidal method. If the baseline or last value is missing, the corresponding value will be set to zero. For missing values of intermediate time points, linear interpolation is used.

    Measured: Within 0 to 48 hours after enrollment

  3. TIMI Flow Grade (TFG)

    TIMI Flow Grade (TFG)assesses flow in the epicardial arteries

    Measured: One mins after PCI

  4. TIMI Flow Grade (TFG)

    TIMI Flow Grade (TFG)assesses flow in the epicardial arteries

    Measured: One mins after intracoronary medicine infusion post-PCI

  5. TIMI Frame Count (CTFC)

    CTFC is a continuous measurement assessing flow in the epicardial arteries.

    Measured: One mins after PCI

  6. TIMI Frame Count (CTFC)

    CTFC is a continuous measurement assessing flow in the epicardial arteries.

    Measured: One mins after intracoronary medicine infusion post-PCI

  7. Wall motion score index (WMSI) and LVEF by echocardiography

    Echocardiographic index includes WMSI and LVEF

    Measured: Echocardiography was performed 3-5 days after PCI

  8. CMR defined MVO

    MVO was defined as hypoenhanced area within infracted zone measured by CMR

    Measured: 3-5 days post-infarct

  9. Infarct Size by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR)

    Infarct size (expressed as a percentage of LV myocardial mass) between two groups 3-5 days post-infarct assessed by the extent of late gadolinium enhancement on CMR

    Measured: 3-5 days post-infarct

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ben He, MD,PhD (68383609, heben1025@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Frame Count (TMPFC) (time frame: One mins after PCI). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Aug 2017.
