About this study

Official title: Combined Metoprolol and Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Cardioprotection of Anterior ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (METRICATION)

The main purpose of this study is to compare the myocardial protection effect of intravenous metoprolol combined with remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) and single treatment before reperfusion in Chinese patients with anterior STEMI. This study sought to find possible strategies to further improve myocardial protection in Chinese patients with anterior STEMI.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled study. It is planned to enroll 1200 patients with anterior STEMI. Immediately after the first medical contact, the patients who were determined by the investigator to meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomized through the interactive web response system (IWRS) and received different pre-reperfusion treatments. The four groups were placebo group, metoprolol group, remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) group and metoprolol \& RIC group. Subsequently, the investigator conduct diagnosis and treatment according to the patient's specific conditions and check the serum level of myocardial damage markers (i.e. CK and CK-MB) at the time of admission, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 hours, respectively. If the patient undergoes PCI treatment, additional detection of myocardial damage markers immediately after PCI is also required. All patients were followed for 1 year with an office visit or a telephone call at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months to evaluate the health status and adverse clinical events of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Metoprolol Injectable Product, Romote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) and Metoprolol & RIC in people with Anterior Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure, run by Harbin Medical University at 16 sites in China.

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 4 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites 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. 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.

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?

Myocardial infarct size (time frame: 60 hours). 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 Nov 2021.
