Trial summary

Early diagnostic of non ST elevation coronary syndrome in patients admitted to the emergency room is difficult. Two news biochemical markers have been assessed and studies have suggested that heart fatty binding protein and ischemia modified albumin are early markers of myocardial necrosis and myocardial ischemia.

About this study

Official title: Analyse en médecine d'Urgence d'Une stratégie d'Utilisation combinée de Deux Marqueurs Biologiques Dans le Diagnostic de Syndrome Coronaire Aigu Non ST+: étude Des Performances de la Heart-Fatty Acid Binding Protein et de l' Ischemia Modified Albumin dès la première Heure de Prise en Charge

Early diagnostic of non ST elevation coronary syndrome in patients admitted to the emergency room is difficult. Two news biochemical markers have been assessed and studies have suggested that heart fatty binding protein and ischemia modified albumin are early markers of myocardial necrosis and myocardial ischemia. The aim of the study is to analyse the predictive value of association of heart fatty binding protein and ischemia modified albumin for non ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome diagnosis in the first hour of management in the emergency room.

Read the detailed description

Early diagnostic of non ST elevation coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients admitted to the emergency room is difficult. Two news biochemical markers have been assessed and studies have suggested that heart fatty binding protein and ischemia modified albumin are early markers of myocardial necrosis and myocardial ischemia.

Study objective: The aim of the study is to analyse the predictive value of association of heart fatty binding protein and ischemia modified albumin for non ST segment elevation ACS diagnosis in the first hour of management in emergency room.

Methods: In a prospective double blind study, initial heart fatty binding protein and ischemia modified albumin levels will be measured in consecutive patients admitted in the emergency room with chest pain and suspected non-ST elevation ACS. Data including history, physical examination, serial 12-lead ECG and troponin-I measurement at 0 and 6 hours after admission will be collected by the treating physician blinded to the result of the markers. Based on hospital diagnosis algorithm (troponin repeated measurements, treadmill test or other ischemia detection, coronarography if necessary) and follow-up at one month, patients will be classified as having or no non-ST elevation ACS by two independent physicians blinded to the results of markers. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values will be determined for each marker and in combined analyses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measure of Initial heart fatty acid binding protein and ischemia modified albumin in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Jul 2008. 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 France. 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?

non ST segment elevation ACUTE coronary syndrome diagnosis (time frame: One month). 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 NCT00714298, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 14 Jul 2008.
