About this study

Official title: Potential Impact in Clinical Practice of Early Exclusion Protocols for Acute Myocardial Infarction With High Sensitivity Troponin T in Different Scenarios (IN-HOspital Program to SystematizE Chest Pain Protocol-IN HOPE)

Multicenter Nationwide Study for Analysis of the Potential Impact in Clinical Practice of Early Exclusion Protocols for Acute Myocardial Infarction with High Sensitivity Troponin T

Read the detailed description

Chest pain is the main clinical complaint in emergency room visits and represents the most common symptom of Acute Myocardial Infarction, which is the main cause of death in Brazil and worldwide. Although most patients with chest pain do not have a final diagnosis of AMI, they remain under observation until the diagnosis of AMI is excluded. The most current strategy recommended for rapid AMI exclusion uses high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T at time zero and one hour later. However, some points that have not yet been properly evaluated in previous studies can be evaluated in the current study:

  • Evaluation of the early exclusion protocol (0 -1 hour) in a Brazilian population
  • Evaluation of the early exclusion protocol (0 -1 hour) in isolation and associated with traditional risk scores (TIMI, GRACE, HEART and EDACS)
  • Systematic evaluation of the early exclusion protocol (0 -1 hour) in patients without chest pain but with a pre-defined condition of suspected AMI
  • Evaluation of the prognostic value of an isolated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T < 5 ng/L in a diverse population.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04756362
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prospective cohortA minimum of 294 patients will be included in the evaluation of 0 and 1 hour protocol (prospective evaluation).
Retrospective cohortA minimum of 1,000 patients will be included in the evaluation of prognostic value of high sensitive cardiac troponin < 5 ng/L(retrospective evaluation).

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction diagnosis

    Accuracy of the 0 and 1 hour algorithm using troponin for diagnosis of myocardial infarction compared to the gold standard with measurements every 3 hours

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction according to type of symptoms

    Accuracy of the 0 and 1 hour algorithm using troponin for diagnosis of myocardial infarction compared to the gold standard with measurements every 3 hours with or without chest pain

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction according to chest pain score (TIMI)

    Accuracy of the 0 and 1 hour algorithm using troponin for diagnosis of myocardial infarction compared to the gold standard with measurements every 3 hours according to chest pain score (TIMI). TIMI score minimum 0 and maximum 7 points (higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction according to chest pain score (EDACS)

    Accuracy of the 0 and 1 hour algorithm using troponin for diagnosis of myocardial infarction compared to the gold standard with measurements every 3 hours according to chest pain score (EDACS). EDACS score minimum -6 and maximum +20 points (higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction according to chest pain score (GRACE)

    Accuracy of the 0 and 1 hour algorithm using troponin for diagnosis of myocardial infarction compared to the gold standard with measurements every 3 hours according to chest pain score (GRACE). GRACE score minimum 1 and maximum 372 points (higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction according to chest pain score (HEART)

    Accuracy of the 0 and 1 hour algorithm using troponin for diagnosis of myocardial infarction compared to the gold standard with measurements every 3 hours according to chest pain score (HEART). HEART score minimum 0 and maximum 10 points (higher scores mean a worse outcome).

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Evaluation of the prognostic value (death and myocardial infarction within 30 days) of an isolated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T < 5 ng/L in a diverse population.

    Evaluation of the prognostic value (death and myocardial infarction within 30 days) of an isolated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T < 5 ng/L in a diverse population (retrospective cohort).

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chest Pain and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Hospital Samaritano Paulista at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 Aug 2022. 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 Brazil. 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?

Accuracy of early rule out for myocardial infarction diagnosis (time frame: 30 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 NCT04756362, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Aug 2022.
