About this study

Official title: RElevance of Biomarkers for Future Risk of Thromboembolic Events in UnSelected Post-myocardial Infarction Patients - an Observational Study (REBUS)

The study is an open, single center, observational study at the Cardiology Dept at Uppsala University Hospital. The number of patients included will be 410. The objectives are to:

Evaluate biomarkers and change of these related to myocardial infarction, during two years follow-up in an unselected patient population with a recent myocardial infarction.

Evaluate if an early change of biomarkers can be related to death, new myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke in the same population after two and five years follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Death, myocardial infarction, stroke

    Death: Death will be sub-classified by vascular or non-vascular primary cause. All deaths with unknown/uncertain cause will be categorized as vascular death.

    Myocardial Infarction(MI): Rehospitalization due to new non fatal MI or development of significant Q-wave.

    Stroke: Diagnosed as abrupt onset of focal neurological deficit persisting more than 24 hours.

    Measured: Five years from study start

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Venous thromboembolism, Arterial embolism, Bleeding

    Venous thromboembolism: Deep venous thrombosis has to be diagnosed by ultrasonography or venography. Pulmonary embolism has to be diagnosed by spiral CT scan, pulmonary angiogram or ventilation-perfusion scanning.

    Arterial embolism: Diagnosed as an arterial event. Radiological evidence includes imaging studies.

    Bleedings: Classified as major or minor using International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH). Major bleeds will be diagnosed as fatal and/or symptomatic bleeding in critical area or organ and/or bleeding associated with a decrease in Hb of 20 g/L or more or leading to transfusion.

    Measured: Five years from study start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction, run by Uppsala University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 26 Mar 2014. 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 Sweden. 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?

Death, myocardial infarction, stroke (time frame: Five years from study start). 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 26 Mar 2014.
