Trial summary

Approx. 65% of resuscitated patients at the intensive care unit for internal medicine are due to myocardial infarction. Almost all patients are initially diagnosed and treated in the cath lab. Therapy usually consists of one or more stent implantations. Read more about this study

About this study

Approx. 65% of resuscitated patients at the intensive care unit for internal medicine are due to myocardial infarction. Almost all patients are initially diagnosed and treated in the cath lab. Therapy usually consists of one or more stent implantations. After implantation of a coronary stent, dual platelet inhibition is necessary for 12 months. Insufficient platelet inhibition causes an pronounced increase in risk of stent thrombosis. Therefore, knowledge of the individual platelet function is valuable.

Several factors potentially promote a delayed or reduced mode of action of platelet function inhibitors in resuscitated patients:

  1. oral administration is impossible and medication needs to be administered via a gastric line.
  2. gastric absorption is delayed after resuscitation
  3. according to current guidelines patients are treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Including the time of rewarming cooling period is ~48h
Read the detailed description

Patients after successful resuscitation associated to a myocardial infarction will be included into the study the morning after the index event. Patients get dual platelet inhibition at the discretion of the interventionist. Patients are treated with therapeutic hypothermia according to the local Standard operating procedure for 24h and rewarming is performed within an additional 20h. Platelet function is measured every morning and Aspirin mediated as well as P2Y12 (purinergic G protein-coupled receptors-12)-inhibition mediated platelet function inhibition is recorded. All relevant clinical data including APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) and SOFA ( Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score) scores are collected.

The degree of platelet inhibition over time (7 days) and differences between the three drugs tested will be evaluated by optical aggregometry and by using the commercial VerifyNow test system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet Inhibition Measured With Optical Aggregometry

    Median (Inter-Quartile Range) Collagen AUC values on Day 3 measured with optical aggregometry The more light signal is detected, the better thrombocyte function is.

    Measured: day 3

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Cumulative Clinical Endpoint of Death and Stent Thrombosis

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 3 Dec 2020. 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 Austria. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Platelet Inhibition Measured With Optical Aggregometry (time frame: day 3). 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 NCT02914795, which also lists 6 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 3 Dec 2020.
