About this study

Drug-coated balloon is being used more and more widely for the advantage of intervention without implantation.

But the balloon needs to be released long enough to be effective. Prolonged balloon dilation resulting in the cessation of blood flow in the distal vessels, especially large vessels, may result in severe ischemia in the patient.

RIPC can enhance patients' tolerance to ischemic events, so we believe that RIPC application before the use of drug balloon for PCI can improve patients' ischemic symptoms, thus increasing the release time of drug balloon and improving the effect.

Read the detailed description

Some patients receiving PCI cannot tolerate the symptoms of myocardial ischemia caused by the release of the drug balloon for a long time and even lead to the occurrence of adverse events.RIPC was found to improve tolerance to myocardial ischemia in patients.

At the same time, it can open collateral circulation and improve the tolerance of myocardial ischemia in patients.Therefore, this study designed a parallel control group. The experimental group was treated with RIPC before PCI, while the control group was not treated before PCI.

The operator does not know whether the patient has undergone RIPC or not, and the operator decides the time of drug balloon release according to the symptoms of the patient during the operation.Angiography was performed at 6 months, and QCA was used to determine late lumen loss at 1 year.The 1-year incidence of target lesion failure events was assessed.

What participants receive

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

  • RIPCOther

    RIPC is delivered with a standard blood pressure cuff placed on the upper thigh. The cuffs are inflated to 200 mm Hg and keep inflated for 5 minutes,Then deflated to 0 mmHg and keep uninflated for 5 minutes, This cycle is repeated four times

ControlNo interventionA standard cuff is placed on the patient's thigh by the nurse 40 minutes before PCI but it is not inflated. PCI is performed 40 minutes later

What is being measured

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

  1. TLF

    TLF, a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction (MI; not clearly attributed to a nontarget vessel and excluding periprocedural MI), or clinically indicated target lesion revascularization (TLR)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Late lumen loss of target vessel(mm)

    Late Lumen Loss of target vessel(mm) by Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA).

    Measured: 6 months

  2. DCB expansion time

    We hypothesis/speculated that the RIPC group had better ischemia tolerance, so the balloon dilation time was longer than the control group.

    But the total time for all patients is less than 120 seconds

    Measured: less than 120 seconds (On the 1 day of PCI)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RIPC in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Henan Institute of Cardiovascular Epidemiology at 1 site 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 2 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 7 Dec 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 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?

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?

TLF (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT04766749, 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 7 Dec 2023.
