About this study

Official title: Clinical Trial Appreciating Intramyocardial Haemorrhage in Patients With Primary STEMI and Different Reperfusion Strategies (Pharmaco Invasive Strategy and Primary PCI)

The purpose of the study is to assess the frequency and intensity of intramyocardial haemorrhage in patients with primary STEMI and different reperfusion strategies.

Read the detailed description

The study non-randomized, opened, controlled. In half of patients despite on carried in-time reperfusion therapy intramyocardial haemorrhage determined after a long-term period of severe ischemia. Earlier, definition of intramyocardial haemorrhage was possible only by autopsy. Nowaday, cardiac contrast MRI is the best diagnostic method, which allows to assess the regional and global function of the LV, structural changes in myocardial tissue and also in T2 mode it became assessable to reveal intramyocardial haemorrhage.

Taking into account the results of previous researches, it can be concluded that the intramyocardial haemorrhage was determined in half of patients with primary PCI [1]. An influence of fibrinolytic therapy to the intramyocardial haemorrhage was conducted in small group of patients in one trial, and therefore further data will be actual and useful [2].

It is planned to study 60 patients with primary STEMI using standard therapy. The patients will be divided into 2 groups. Patients of the 1st group will be treated by pharmaco-invasive strategy. The 2nd group will be treated by primary PCI. Patients in all groups after reperfusion strategies will be conducted cardiac contrast MRI for detection intramyocardial haemorrhage within 2 days onset. At day 7 and through 3 months, the clinical condition of the patients will be assessed and cardiac ultrasound will be performed for the evaluation of myocardial contractile function and 2D global longitudinal strain. Also, the incidence rate of secondary endpoints will be evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pharmaco-invasive strategyDrug

    Also called Metalyse, Actilyse, Tenecteplase, Alteplase

    Patient with primary STEMI will received standard doses of fibrinolytics with following PCI.

    After reperfusion strategies will be conducted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with contrast (Gadovist) in regime inversion recovery time, regime T-2 weighted images, T1-weighted images. and Global Longitudinal Strain measured with echocardiography.

  • Primary PCIProcedure or surgery

    After primary PCI patients will be conducted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with contrast (Gadovist) in regime inversion recovery time, regime T-2 weighted images, T1-weighted images and Global Longitudinal Strain measured with echocardiography.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pharmaco-invasive strategyExperimentalFibrinolytic therapy (Streptokinase, Alteplasa, Tenecteplasa in standard dose) is conducted within 12 h of symptom onset in the pre-hospital setting if primary PCI cannot be performed within 120 min from STEMI diagnosis. Then PCI is performed to all of patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intramyocardial haemorrhage in primary STEMI measure

    Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (%) recovery measured with echocardiography 7 days and 3 months after reperfusion strategies

    Measured: 3 months (with intermediate measurement at day 7 after reperfusion)

  2. Global Longitudinal Strain

    Global Longitudinal Strain (%) measured with echocardiography 7 days and 3 months after reperfusion strategies

    Measured: 3 months (with intermediate measurement at day 7 after reperfusion)

  3. Recurrent myocardial infarction measure

    Incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction (%) 3 months after STEMI

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Heart failure incidence measure

    Incidence of heart failure (%) 3 months after STEMI

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Stroke incidence measure

    Incidence of stroke (%) 3 months after STEMI

    Measured: 3 months

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intramyocardial haemorrhage in primary STEMI measure (time frame: 2 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 NCT03677466, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
