About this study

Official title: The Effect of Cardiac Shock Wave Therapy in the Treatment of Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) accounts for 15% of all myocardial infarctions and its mortality rate approaches that of large vessel myocardial infarction, but there are currently no effective treatment options. Coronary microvascular dysfunction is an important mechanism of MINOCA and is closely related to adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

The prospective trial aimed to verify the safety and effectiveness of cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) in the treatment of Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), and to expand the scope of clinical indications for CSWT and provide new treatment strategy for MINOCA.

Read the detailed description

All participants will be fully informed of the study protocol, and informed consent will be obtained from each patient before the study. The inclusion criteria include: 1) Aged between 18 and 85 years old; 2) The initial diagnosis is acute myocardial infarction; 3) Coronary angiography shows coronary stenosis <50%; 4) Abnormal D-SPECT myocardial perfusion images; 5) Voluntary informed consent signed.

The exclusion criteria include: 1) Previous history of coronary heart disease, received percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass surgery or myocardial infarction (MI); 2) Hemodynamic instability; 3) Acute heart failure; 4) Severe valvular heart disease requiring surgical treatment; 5) Severe liver and kidney diseases; 6) Malignant tumors with an expected survival of less than one year; 7) Patients with severe bleeding tendency; 8) Pregnant women; 9) Intervening coronary ischemic events.

Based on the literature and the number of participants with myocardial infarction in the hospital, the sample size calculated according to the formula is about 50 cases. Considering the dropout rate of 10%, the sample size should be 56 cases.

56 patients are randomly divided 1:1 by computer into the CSWT group and Control group, with 28 MINOCA participants in each group. Participants in the CSWT group are treated with conventional medical therapy (including antiplatelet drugs, statins, and antianginal drugs), combined with CSWT, and those in the Control group were treated with conventional medical therapy and sham CSWT. Care providers and physicians who follow participants (parameters of this study) should be blinded to group assignment. CSWT is performed according to the recommended protocol on shock wave output and the number of shots delivered per point developed by Tohoku University, Japan, and with protocol equipment (Modulith SLC; Storz Medical, Switzerland) developed by the University of Essen, Germany. CSWT is performed three times a week (days 1, 3, and 5) in a session with a 3-month interval between sessions or 1-month intensive treatment. 40 The participants underwent CSWT for 3 months and 9 CSWT sessions were performed in total. Participants in the control group received sham CSWT, the energy of cardiac shock wave therapy was the lowest, and the water bladder was in contact with the skin but not close to the skin.

Examinations in this prospective trial include D-SPECT, blood biochemical examination, myocardial marker, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. During follow-up, investigators will record major adverse cardiovascular events, and adverse events caused by other treatments. The safety and effectivity of CSWT will be verified by clinical parameters, D-SPECT, and peak oxygen consumption in CPET.

What participants receive

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

  • Cardiac Shock Wave TherapyDevice

    When operating CSWT, it is necessary to determine the target myocardium for treatment, adjust the height of the water bladder, set the energy that the patient can tolerate, and then start the treatment. During the treatment, the vital signs of the subjects should be detected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline myocardial infarct area at 6 months

    The location and extent of myocardial infarction were determined by D-SPECT.

    Measured: 1 day of inclusions and 6 months after the first treatment.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from baseline peak oxygen consumption at 6 months

    maximum kilogram oxygen uptake accessed during Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)

    Measured: 1 day of inclusions and 6 months after the first treatment.

  2. Change from baseline myocardial marker at 6 months

    creatine kinase phosphate-isozyme (CK-MB) in blood samples

    Measured: 1 day of inclusions and 6 months after the first treatment.

  3. Change from baseline hepatorenal function indexes at 6 months

    alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and serum creatinine (SCr) in blood samples

    Measured: 1 day of inclusions and 6 months after the first treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac Shock Wave Therapy in people with Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronary Arteries and Cardiac Shock Wave Therapy, run by Ya-Wei Xu 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 5 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline myocardial infarct area at 6 months (time frame: 1 day of inclusions and 6 months after the first treatment.). 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?
