About this study

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of rhTNK-tPA in Comparison With Alteplase(Rt-PA) as Fibrinolytic Therapy of Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction(STEMI): a Multi-center, Randomized, Open, Parallel, Non-inferiority, Active Controlled Trial

This study is aiming to test the hypothesis that efficacy of rhTNK-tPA was not inferior to rt-PA with respect to the 30-day MACCE rates after fibrinolytic therapy for STEMI patients. It is a multicenter, randomized, open, parallel, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial.

Read the detailed description

The study includes screening and baseline, randomization \& intervention, in-hospital visit, at 30±3 days visit after fibrinolytic therapy.

Following an initial eligibility screening assessment, all eligible patients who have signed the informed consent will be randomly assigned by an interactive Web-based central system for fibrinolytic therapy with either rhTNK-tPA or rt-PA. The standard care should be given to all patients except for the study interventions.

Prior to fibrinolytic administration, enoxaparin (30-mg intravenous) or Un- Fractionated Heparin (maximum 4000U, intravenous) should be administered, combined with antiplatelet therapy consisted of both clopidogrel and aspirin in a 300-mg loading dose followed by routine dosage.

Successful reperfusion according to the clinical evidence (EKG) should be assessed after fibrinolytic therapy.TIMI flow should be assessed for those patients with 24 hours coronary angiography.

MACCE and bleeding events should be followed up and documented during the study until 30 days after fibrinolytic therap. An independent adjudication committee will judge the major endpoint events.

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow in the infarct-related artery after therapy (Limited to the subgroup for coronary angiography within 24 hours after therapy)

    A patent IRA was defined as TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow on the angiogram

    Measured: within 24 hours after therapy

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The rate of MACCE (Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events)

    MACCE composited of total death, non-fatal recurrent MI, non-fatal stroke (ischemic and Hemorrhage), PCI for failed reperfusion and PCI for reocclusion

    Measured: within 30 days after the start of fibrinolytic therapy

  2. The rate of successful reperfusion with clinical evidences

    Measured: within 24 hours of fibrinolytic therapy

  3. The in-hospital MACCE

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month)

  4. The in-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month) and 30 days after the start of study interventions

  5. The in-hospital and 30-day cardiac deaths

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge) and 30 days after the start of study interventions, assessed up to 1 month

  6. The in-hospital recurrent MI

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month)

  7. The 30-day revascularization

    Measured: 30 days after the start of therapy

  8. The in-hospital intracranial hemorrhage (ICH)

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month)

  9. The in-hospital major GI bleeding events

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month)

  10. The in-hospital total bleeding events

    Measured: during hospitalization (from the date of admission to the date of discharge, assessed up to 1 month)

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 6 inclusion and 35 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 25 May 2022. 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 China. 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?

The proportion of patients with TIMI grade 2 or 3 flow in the infarct-related artery after therapy (Limited to the subgroup for coronary angiography within 24 hours after therapy) (time frame: within 24 hours after therapy). 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 NCT02835534, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 May 2022.
