What is being measured

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

  1. Myocardial infarct size by SPECT

    Measured: between 5 and 14 days after acute myocardial infarction

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Myocardial infarct size measured by contrast-enhanced MRI

    Measured: within 14 days after acute myocardial infarction

  2. Myocardial blush grade after the procedure

    Measured: immediate after procedure

  3. complete ST resolution

    Measured: at 60 minutes after the procedure

  4. major adverse cardiac events related to left ventricular dysfunction (death, new-onset sustained hypotension or heart failure, and hospital readmission for left ventricular dysfunction)

    Measured: at 6 months after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing atorvastatin in people with Angioplasty, Transluminal, Percutaneous Coronary, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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 Mar 2011. 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 South Korea. 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?

Myocardial infarct size by SPECT (time frame: between 5 and 14 days after acute myocardial infarction). 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 3 Mar 2011.
