About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Intracoronary Tirofiban on No-Reflow Phenomena in Patients With ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The goal of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of intracoronary administration of tirofiban on no-reflow phenomenon in patients with STEMI and occurrence of no-reflow phenomenon undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Read the detailed description

The no-reflow phenomenon is one of the most common causes of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Re-canalization of infarct related arterial (IRA) flow related to better ventricular performance and lower mortality rate in patients with STEMI. In addition, no-reflow phenomena may limit the benefits of re-canalization of the IRA.

In recent years, many mechanical or pharmacological treatment strategies including adjunctive administration of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPI) have been proposed in patients with STEMI. Although current guidelines recommend that small molecule GPI should be administered as an upstream bolus followed by a continuous infusion in patients with STEMI, changes in clinical practice may obviate the need for GPI dosage or routes in current practice. Previous studies have shown that intravenous and intracoronary administration of GPI improve the prognosis and significantly reduce mortality in patients with STEMI. Recently, the Ongoing Tirofiban in Myocardial infarction Evaluation-2 (ON-TIME 2) trial found that the use of tirofiban started during the pre-hospital phase as upstream therapy for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and continued for up to 18 hours infusion after the procedure showed an improvement in the markers of reperfusion. Additionally, a reduction was demonstrated in the death in recurrent myocardial infarction in urgent target vessel revascularization and thrombotic bailout. However, in the current literature there are insufficient data regarding the role of intracoronary administration of GPI inhibitors in patients with STEMI who developed the no-reflow phenomenon. The goal of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of intracoronary administration of tirofiban on no-reflow phenomenon in patients with STEMI and occurrence of no-reflow phenomenon undergoing primary PCI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tirofiban in people with No-Reflow Phenomenon, run by TC Erciyes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 11 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 4 Feb 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 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?

in-hospital mortality (time frame: up to 8 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Feb 2014.
