February 8, 2016 updated by: John Pernow

Reduction in Infarct Size by Remote Per-postconditioning in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction in Stockholm (RECOND)

  • Trial objective: To test the hypothesis that remote per-postconditioning in connection with primary PCI will reduce myocardial infarct size patients with STEMI.
  • Trial Design: Placebo controlled randomized study with parallel groups
  • Primary Endpoint: Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) day 4-7
  • Efficacy Parameters: Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage to the myocardium at risk determined by CMR at 6 months.
  • Global left ventricular function determined by left ventricular ejection fraction determined by CMR.
  • Microvascular obstruction determined by CMR day 4-7. Quantified ECV (extracellular volume) in left ventricular as myocardium at risk day 4-7 and remodelling parameters day 180.
  • Safety Parameters: Major adverse cardiovascular events.

Conditions

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  • ST elevations >0.1 mV (>0.2 mV in V2-V3) in > two contiguous leads in V1-V6.
  • Informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous myocardial infarction based on medical history or Q-wave on ECG in other area
  • Left Bundle Branch Block on ECG.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Remote Ischemic per-postconditioning
Remote conditioning is induced by inflation of a blood pressure cuff around the left thigh to 200 mmHg or 20 mmHg above systolic blood pressure (if >180 mmHg) for 5 min followed by deflation for 5 min. At least one of these conditioning cycles is performed before PCI is initiated. If time allows, cycles of remote conditioning (5 min leg ischemia and 5 min reperfusion) are repeated until PCI is performed. Following reperfusion, defined as first balloon inflation, four additional cycles of remote conditioning will be performed.
Procedure: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Primary Percutanous Coronary Intervention is performed in both Groups.
Sham Comparator: Sham

The sham procedures include application of the cuff around the thigh but it is not inflated.

Otheriwize normal primary PCI.
Procedure: Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Primary Percutanous Coronary Intervention is performed in both Groups.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage of the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
Time Frame: 4-7 days following index event
4-7 days following index event

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Myocardial infarct size expressed as a percentage to the myocardium at risk determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
Time Frame: 6 months following index event
6 months following index event

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Global left ventricular function determined by left ventricular ejection fraction determined by CMR.
