About this study

Official title: Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome in the Emergency Department- The Impact of Rapid Bedside cTnl on Outcome.

The primary outcome in this study will be time to discharge for low-risk patients and therapeutic turnaround time for patients with NSTEMI or unstable angina.

Read the detailed description

Phase IV prospective, randomized (1:1), parallel-group trial utilizing concurrent controls. Assess the reduction in time taken to dispostion or discharge patients. Assess the ability of POC testing to satisfy guidelines for a 30 minute turn around time of results. Assess and differences in clinical decision-making for other diagnostic procedures including nuclear imaging, echo, and stress treadmill, disposition from the ED, time to catherterization lab, PCI, and CafBG based on the cardiac troponinn results from the bedside analyzer and the central lab instrument.Assess the difference for in-hospital and 30 day post hospital discharge cardiac events including all-cause and cardiac-specific deaths, CHF, cardiomyopathy, and atrial and ventricular arrhythmia, beween the bedside analyzer and the central lab instrument. Assess the differences in hospital care costs for the hospitalization period, and assess direct medical and indirect productivity costs in the 30 day post hospital discharge period to patients who are diagnosed, using the bedside cTnl test and the central lab cTn tests, and subsequently treated as per the guidelines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing iSTAT point of care analyzer in people with Unstable Angina and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 28 Jan 2010. 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 States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 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?

Time to discharge for low-risk patients. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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?

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 28 Jan 2010.
