About this study

Official title: Anti-inflammatory Effects of Intracoronary and Intravenous Abciximab Administration During Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.(Molecole di Adesione Nella Sindrome Coronarica Acuta

Intracoronary abciximab administration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) could offer clinical advantages over the intravenous route. The aim of this study was to assess whether abciximab administration route could influence its anti-inflammatory effects. 87 consecutive STEMI patients candidate to pPCI were randomized to receive an intracoronary or intravenous abciximab bolus. The primary endpoint was the extent of inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 levels.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND: intracoronary abciximab administration during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) could offer clinical advantages over the intravenous route. Besides antiplatelet effects, abciximab can modulate inflammation via cross-reactivity with GPIIb/IIIa, avb3, and aMb2 receptors. The aim of this study was to assess whether abciximab administration route could influence its anti-inflammatory effects.

METHODS: 87 consecutive STEMI patients candidate to pPCI were randomized to receive intracoronary (Group A, 47 patients) or intravenous (Group B, 42 patients) abciximab bolus. The primary endpoint was the extent of inflammation, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in C-reactive protein levels from baseline after PCI

    C-reactive protein will be evaluated at admission and 48 hours after the primary PCI as marker of the inflammatory reaction

    Measured: 48h

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Mortality

    Mortality for all causes at 1year after primary PCI

    Measured: 1year

  2. Target vessel revascularization

    Target vessel revascularization at 1 year after primary PCI

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Myocardial infarction

    Recurrent Myocardial infarction 1 year after PCI

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intracoronary administration of an abciximab bolus during primary PCI and Intravenous administration of an abciximab bolus during primary PCI in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Maggiore della Carita at 1 site in Italy.

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 9 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 31 Dec 2012. 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 Italy. 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?

Change in C-reactive protein levels from baseline after PCI (time frame: 48h). 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 NCT01757457, 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 31 Dec 2012.
