About this study

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has multiple etiologies. In the absence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is delayed. This study aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Coronary Calcium Score (CCS) and Coronary CT Angiogram (CCTA) to rule out a coronary artery disease (CAD) in the first days after an OHCA.

Read the detailed description

Each year, 50.000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occur in France. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most frequent etiology of OHCA. When a cardiac arrest is due to a ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is realized in emergency. However, without ST-elevation, PCI timing is unclear. 2020 European Society Recommandations suggest that PCI should not be realized in emergency, based on Lemkes and al. clinical trial. But there is scarce evidence about the exact timing to realize PCI. Electrocardiogram, troponin level, and echocardiography are unprecise to rule-out an ischemic etiology of cardiac arrest.

A brain CT-scan and a CT-pulmonary angiogram are recommended in first place, to identify the etiology of the cardiac arrest if there is no ST-elevation nor obvious causes. Nevertheless, in the absence of scanographic abnormality, a differed coronary angiogram should be realized.

We suggest that coronary CT angiogram (CCTA) and coronary calcium score (CCS) are feasible in the first days of hospitalization, and could rule-out a coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the study is to avoid an invasive coronary exploration, and to have a quick answer about anti-thrombotic treatments management.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of Coronary Computerized Tomographic Angiogram to rule-out a coronary stenosis > 50%

    Measured: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Diagnostic accuracy of Coronary Computerized Tomographic Angiogram to rule-out a coronary stenosis > 70%

    Measured: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)

  2. Cororany calcium score associated with coronary stenosis between 50% and 70%

    Measured: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)

  3. Diagnostic accuracy of Coronary Computerized Tomographic Angiogram associated with Coronary Calcium Score compared to CCTA performance alone

    Measured: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)

  4. Incidence of contrast associated acute kidney injury

    Measured: Day 15

  5. Comparison of contrast volume between CCTA and percutaneous coronary intervention

    Measured: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)

  6. Comparison of radiation dose between CCTA and percutaneous coronary intervention

    Measured: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coronary Calcium Score and Coronary CT angiogram in people with Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Without ST-segment Elevation, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 15 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2024. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Antoine GOURY (03 10 73 68 85 ext. 0033, agoury@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy of Coronary Computerized Tomographic Angiogram to rule-out a coronary stenosis > 50% (time frame: During hospitalization (maximum 7 days from ICU admission)). 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 6 Mar 2024.
