Trial summary

During a heart attack, the protein troponin I is released from the heart muscle into the bloodstream. Measurements of cardiac troponin in blood are used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Sample Type Validation: Finger Prick and Plasma vs Whole Blood in a Clinical Setting for the SpinChip High-sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I (SpinChip Hs-cTnI) Test

During a heart attack, the protein troponin I is released from the heart muscle into the bloodstream. Measurements of cardiac troponin in blood are used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack. The SpinChip hs-cTnI test is a new high-sensitive test for measuring the amount of cardiac troponin I in the bloodstream as an aid in the diagnosis of heart attack.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that different types of blood samples (finger prick, venous whole blood and plasma) return comparable results when analysed using the SpinChip hs-cTnI test. Blood samples from at least 150 patients will be analyzed and the testing will be carried out by healthcare personnel.

Read the detailed description

Cardiac troponins are widely used as a biomarker to aid in the diagnosis of Acute myocardial infarction (AMI). These structural proteins are essential in regulating contraction in cardiac muscle cells, and they are sensitive and specific biochemical markers of myocardial damage.

During a heart attack, cardiac muscle cells are injured and release the cardiac marker troponin I (cTnI) into the bloodstream. High-sensitive troponin tests may detect the increase of cardiac troponin in blood within hours after the symptoms of a heart attack has started.

The SpinChip high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) test is a new high-sensitive test for measuring troponin I in blood samples, and the analysis may be performed close to the patient (near-patient test). The results may be obtained within 10 minutes, compared to approximately 1 hour for normal laboratory analysis.

The SpinChip Platform consists of the SpinChip hs-cTnI test and the SpinChip Analyzer and may be used at the emergency department to evaluate patients presenting with symptoms of acute myocardial infarction (chest pain). The test can use blood from finger prick or venous blood samples, either as whole blood or separated into plasma.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that different sample types (finger prick, venous whole blood or plasma) give comparable results when analysed using the SpinChip hs-cTnI test when the testing is performed by healthcare professionals. Samples from minimum 150 patients with troponin levels covering the measuring range of the SpinChip hs-cTnI test will be collected and analysed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SpinChip hs-cTnIDiagnostic test

    SpinChip Platform, consisting of the SpinChip hs-cTnI test (self-contained cartridge) and SpinChip Analyzer (instrument)

What is being measured

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

  1. Sample type validation

    Establish if the hs-cTnI results obtained from finger prick capillary blood and fresh plasma are equivalent to results obtained for venous whole blood for the SpinChip hs-cTnI test when the analysis is performed by healthcare professionals. Equivalence between sample types will be evaluated using Bland Altman difference plots for evaluation of bias and regression analysis.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of AEs, ADEs and DDs

    Assess the safety of the SpinChip Platform, as measured by adverse events (AEs), adverse device effects (ADEs) and device deficiencies (DDs).

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by SpinChip Diagnostics ASA at 1 site in Norway.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 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 Norway. 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?

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?

Sample type validation (time frame: 1 day). 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 22 Aug 2024.
