About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate analgesic efficacy of inhaled methoxyflurane vs intravenous morphine in patients presenting with acute ST-elevation (STEMI) / non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS)

Read the detailed description

Platelet activation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Pharmacological platelet inhibition with P2Y12 receptor antagonists and aspirin, together with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are the cornerstone of treatment of ACS patients.

Chest pain and anxiety are both associated with sympathetic activation, which increases workload of the heart. Relieving of these symptoms in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is expected to improve the balance between the demand for oxygen and its supply. Morphine, apart from its analgesic effects, also alleviates the work of breathing and reduces anxiety. However, despite its favourable analgesic and sedative actions, morphine also exerts adverse effects, which include vomiting and reduction of gastrointestinal motility. These side effects affect the intestinal absorption of oral drugs co-administered with morphine. Previously performed randomized studies revealed unfavourable influence of morphine on the pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor resulting in weaker and retarded antiplatelet effect.

Methoxyflurane was shown to be effective and well tolerated for the management of acute traumatic pain with a rapid onset of analgesia. As it does not affect the μ-opioid receptors, which inhibit propulsive motility and secretion of the gastro-intestinal tract, methoxyflurane is not expected to decrease or delay absorption or effects of orally administered drugs, including P2Y12 inhibitors, as well as to exert any other negative impact in patients with ACS.

Before PCI for the index ACS, after obtaining informed consent patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned with a secure on-line system in 1:1 ratio to one of two study arms. Patients in the intervention arm will receive methoxyphlurane administered by inhalation, whereas patients in the control arm will obtain morphine administered intravenously.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of pain intensity according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 2-3 minutes after drug administration in relation to pain intensity assessed before drug administration

    NPRS score before and 2-3 minutes after drug administration in each study arm

    Measured: 2-3 mins

  2. Measure of pain intensity according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) immediately after PCI in relation to pain intensity assessed before drug administration

    NPRS score before drug administration and and immediately after PCI in each study arm

    Measured: immediately after PCI

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Adverse effects of evaluated therapies

    nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, respiratory failure - need for intubation, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of consciousness, death

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Need for GPIIb/IIIa (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) inhibitor administration during PCI due to large intracoronary thrombus

    The percentage of patients who required GP IIb/IIIa administration in each study arm

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Angiographic effect of PCI using Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) scale

    central analysis of coronary angiography after PCI according to Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) scale (TIMI 0 to TIMI 3; where TIMI 0 corresponds with no antegrade flow beyond the point of occlusion whereas TIMI 3 - normal flow with complete filling of the distal territory)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  4. Angiographic effect of PCI using TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG) scale

    central analysis of coronary angiography after PCI according to TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Grade (TMPG) scale (TMPG 0 to TMPG 3, where TMPG 0 corresponds with failure of dye to enter the microvasculature, indicating a lack of tissue level perfusion whereas TMPG 3 - normal entry and exit of dye from the microvasculature)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  5. ST elevation resolution in STEMI patients after PCI

    central analysis of ST elevation reduction in STEMI patients with a 70% resolution cut-off

    Measured: 1 hour after PCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Methoxyflurane - Penthrox and Morphine in people with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction and Non ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Collegium Medicum w Bydgoszczy at 1 site in Poland.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2023. 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 Poland. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Agata Kosobucka, PhD (+48 525854023, akosobucka@wp.pl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure of pain intensity according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) 2-3 minutes after drug administration in relation to pain intensity assessed before drug administration (time frame: 2-3 mins). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04476173, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Sep 2023.
