About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of IntraCoronary Erythropoietin Delivery BEfore Reperfusion: Gauging Infarct Size in Patients With Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (ICEBERG).

Prospective, randomized and open label trial

Hypothesis

Read more
  • Infusion of intracoronary darbepoetin-alpha at the time of reperfusion may reduce infarct size and post-infarct pathologic left ventricular remodeling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Methods

  • Randomization into control group or treatment group
  • Treatment group : Darbepoetin-alpha 300ug intracoronary bolus infusion via over-the-wire balloon system simultaneously with first balloon inflation and conventional treatment
  • Control group : conventional treatment

Endpoints

  • peak CK-MB \& troponin levels : baseline,6h,12hr,18hr, 24hr, 36hr and 48hr
  • MRI at baseline : infarct size, area at risk and salvaged myocardium
  • MRI at 4 months : prevalence of pathologic left ventricle remodeling (definition: increase of end-diastolic volume index > 20% compared to baseline)
  • safety endpoint : cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, ischemic stroke, hospital readmission with heart failure or ischemic symptom, bleeding and urgent target lesion revascularization

[Eligibility Criteria]

  1. Patients, regardless of gender, at the age from 18 to 80 years were eligible if they had within 12 hours of onset of ST-segment myocardial infarction that was decided to treat with primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

[Exclusion criteria]

  1. Uncontrolled congestive heart failure (Killip classes II and III, or cardiogenic shock)
  2. History of malignancy
  3. Serious hematological disease
  4. Current infectious disease requiring antibiotic therapy
  5. Baseline creatinine level > 2.0 mg/dL or dependence on dialysis
  6. Known hypersensitivity to or contraindication for heparin, aspirin, clopidogrel, sirolimus, everolimus, contrast medium and darbepoetin-α

[Primary endpoint] Myocardial infarct size, estimated by measurement of peak levels of cardiac biomarker (CK-MB and troponin-I of the patients was followed for 48 hours at every 6 hours)

[Secondary end points]

  1. The infarct size, measured as the area of delayed enhancement seen with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging on average four days after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (baseline)
  2. The proportion of area at risk (AAR) and salvaged myocardium, calculated by formula; [AAR - Infarct size] / AAR X 100 (%)
  3. The change of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), and LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) assessed by CMR between four days and four months
  4. LV remodeling index [(LVEDV at four months - baseline LVEDV) / baseline LVEDV X 100%] and the incidence of pathologic LV remodeling (LV remodeling index > 20%);

[Safety endpoints] The incidence of composites of the cardiovascular endpoints (cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, ischemic stroke, hospital readmission with heart failure or ischemic symptoms, bleeding and urgent target lesion revascularization) assessed at four months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak CK-MB/ Troponin-I levels

    Measured: baseline, 6, 12,18,24,36,48hrs

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Infarct size, area at risk and proportion of salvaged myocardium

    Assessed by cardiac MRI

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 days

  2. Pathologic left ventricle remodeling assessed by cardiac MRI

    Definition : Increase of end-diastolic volume of left ventricle >20%

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Change of left ventricular ejection fraction, LV end-diastolic volume , and LV end-systolic volume assessed by cardiac MRI

    Measured: Between four days and 4 months

  4. Composites of cardiovascular endpoints

    ccardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, ischemic stroke, hospital readmission with heart failure or ischemic symptoms, bleeding and target lesion revascularization

    Measured: 4 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Darbepoetin alfa in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 19 Jun 2015. 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. 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 this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Peak CK-MB/ Troponin-I levels (time frame: baseline, 6, 12,18,24,36,48hrs). 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 NCT01538771, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jun 2015.
