About this study

Official title: Understanding the Effects of Pressure-controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion Assisted Percutaneous Coronary Intervention on Coronary Physiology and Left Ventricular Performance

The PICSO ViPER study is a prospective single centre cohort study of the use of PICSO in patients presenting acute myocardial infarction and impaired function of the left ventricle and candidate to angioplasty the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.

The percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure will be undertaken in a standard fashion, in accordance with the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust (OUHT) departmental guidelines for PCI, and includes the use of pressure wire measurements before and after stent deployment. PICSO treatment will be added on top of the conventional treatment.

The protocol will constitute of 5 main stages (that will all be performed during index angioplasty procedure). The protocol is complete at the end of the angioplasty procedure, and the patient will exit the study at this point. The five stages of the protocol are described below (for details see "Detailed Description"):

  • Baseline
  • PICSO treatment during pre-dilation
  • Stenting with PICSO support
  • Post-stent Physiology
  • PICSO treatment during post-dilation
Read the detailed description

In detail, the five stages of the PICSO VIPER study include:

Stage 1: Baseline

  • Diagnostic angiography will be performed in the standard manner using appropriate catheters.
  • Pre-stenting coronary physiology parameters, namely fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) will be measured, using a pressure wire, as used for routine clinical measurements in patients undergoing PCI.
  • Via a separate arterial access, a conductance catheter will be inserted retrogradely in the left ventricle for baseline measurements of cardiac pump function .
  • Baseline blood samples will be withdrawn from the CS (via PICSO balloon) and ascending aorta (via coronary guiding catheter used for revascularization)

Stage 2: PICSO treatment during pre-dilation

  • The PICSO device will be deployed as already previously described in the literature.
  • Pre-dilation will be performed using an angioplasty balloon at a size determined by the operator, as per standard clinical practice. Balloon will be maintained inflated for a minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of 2 minutes if well tolerated by the patient.
  • Balloon inflation will be performed once with the PICSO device activated and once with PICSO device in standby. The order of this will be determined by randomisation via Sequentially Numbered Opaque Sealed Envelopes.
  • During each balloon inflation measurements of coronary and cardiac function will be performed and blood samples will be collected exactly as in stage 1.

Stage 3: Stenting with PICSO support

  • Stenting is performed as usual clinical practice while the PICSO device is active. The overall duration of PICSO will be no less than 20 minutes, up to a maximum of 45 minutes.

Stage 4: Post-stent Physiology

  • Post-stenting coronary and cardiac physiology parameters will be measured using a pressure wire and conductance catheter, respectively.
  • Blood samples will be drawn from the CS and the coronary guide catheter as described in stage 1.

Stage 5

  • Stent post-dilation will be performed using an angioplasty balloon at a size determined by the operator, as per standard clinical practice. Balloon will be maintained inflated for a minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of 2 minutes if well tolerated by the patient.
  • Balloon inflation will be performed in all patients once with the PICSO device activated and once with the PICSO device in standby. The order of this will be the same as in Stage 2 (as determined by Sequentially Numbered Opaque Sealed Envelopes)
  • During each balloon inflation measurements will be made of coronary and cardiac physiology parameters and blood samples will be drawn from the CS and the coronary guide catheter as described in stage 1.
  • Following this, the participant completes and exits the study.

What participants receive

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

  • PICSODevice

    PICSO therapy is delivered through the PICSO Impulse System, which consists of the PICSO Impulse console and PICSO impulse catheter. The PICSO therapy is delivered in each patient for a minimum of 20 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes.

    The PICSO Impulse catheter is automatically activated by the PICSO Impulse console. It is inserted in the coronary sinus via femoral vein access. The PICSO Impulse Console cyclically inflates and deflates the balloon at the tip of the PICSO Impulse catheter, generating transient increase in coronary sinus pressure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PICSO in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site 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 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2023. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment trend (COVID-10 pandemic related) - impossible to reach aim target within anticipated timeframe). 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?

End-systolic pressure volume relationship (ESPVR) (time frame: At completion of index percutaneous coronary intervention (on average 90 minutes post enrolment)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04032925, which also lists 13 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.

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 21 Aug 2023.
