  • Age range 25 - 75 years

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Pressure Controlled Intermittent Coronary Sinus Occlusion (PiCSO) as an Adjunct to PCI in Acute Coronary Syndrome

The purpose of this research study is to find out whether PICSO (Pressure Controlled Coronary Sinus Occlusion), given concomitant to (NSTEMI) or following (STEMI) primary PCI and stenting, can improve final infarct size and myocardial function.

ACS patients, NSTEMI and STEMI, with a culprit lesion in the LAD will be treated according to standard treatment, PCI followed by stent placement, with or without PICSO therapy. In NSTEMI patients, PICSO therapy will be given during PCI and stenting for a minimum of 30 minutes or the duration of the PCI and stent procedure. In STEMI patients PICSO therapy will be given after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention of a left anterior descending coronary artery culprit lesion. PICSO therapy is initiated prior to stent deployment and continued during stenting. The functional efficacy measures, related to the PICSO duration and coronary sinus pressures, will be stored on the PICSO Impulse console and analysed offline. The clinical efficacy measures, cardiac enzyme release during 24 hour following PCI, cardiac function, infarct size and level of microvascular obstruction will be assessed by cMRI. Patients will be followed for a maximum of 4 months after the primary PCI procedure

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to evaluate the effect of PICSO treatment concomitant to or following primary PCI in patients with anterior non ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction or ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction, in patients with a culprit lesion in the LAD on Infarct Size and myocardial function. There will be 2 phases in this study.

  1. Phase 1: only NSTEMI patients will be recruited.
  2. Phase 2: only STEMI patients will be recruited.

Phase 1 During Phase 1 of the study only NSTEMI patients will be recruited. After having given informed consent the patient will be scheduled for pPCI and stent placement. On the day of the procedure the PICSO catheter will be placed as described below (refer to PICSO Impulse catheter placement). After the PICSO therapy is started the standard pPCI and stent placement is performed. PICSO is continued at a minimum of 30 minutes or as long as the standard pPCI and stent placement takes.

Phase 2 During Phase 2 of the study only STEMI patients will be recruited. Immediately after successful restoration of the blood flow the PICSO Impulse catheter is introduced and placed as described below (Refer to PICSO Impulse catheter placement).

After correct positioning of the PICSO Impulse catheter, the 0,032" guide wire is removed. PICSO therapy is initiated and continued until a PICSO Quantity of 1000 mmHg is reached or a maximum of 60 minutes active treatment whatever comes first. With PICSO in treatment mode, the stent is deployed.

The clinical outcome data collected will be based on the site standards of care for NSTEMI and acute STEMI. Examinations include but are not limited to physical assessments, cardiac markers, ECG, laboratory results, x-rays, angiograms, cMRI and echocardiography.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Infarct Size assessed by cardiac MRI

    Efficacy of PICSO treatment as assessed by means of infarct size reduction assessment, 4-months vs. 1 week post-primary PCI in comparison with a matched non-PICSO parallel control group

    Measured: baseline and 4 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Enzymatic Infarct Size

    Peak Troponin level 12 hours after pPCI, in comparison with a matched non-PICSO parallel control group

    Measured: 12 hours post PCI

  2. Level of Microvascular Obstruction assessed by cardia MRI

    Microvascular Obstruction assessed by cardiac MRI on 2-5 days post pPCI

    Measured: 2-5 days post PCI

  3. Absolute Infarct size assessment by cardiac MRI

    Infarct size assessment by cardiac MRI (presented as % of Area at Risk, AAR, and % of LV) at 2-5 days and 120 ± 14 days post-primary PCI in comparison with a matched non-PICSO parallel control group.

    Measured: baseline and 4 months

  4. MACE

    Occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during follow-up

    Measured: baseline to 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PICSO in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Miracor Medical SA at 4 sites in United Kingdom.

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 18 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Change in Infarct Size assessed by cardiac MRI (time frame: baseline and 4 months). 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 18 Mar 2019.
