心律失常抑制试验 (CAST)
研究概览
详细说明
背景:
在美国,每年有超过 400,000 人死于冠心病。 大多数人都患有冠心病。 其中,心肌梗塞后人群占很大比例。 大约 8% 到 15% 的急性心肌梗死康复患者会在随后的一年内死亡。 这些死亡中有一半通常是突然的,可能是由于心律失常。 高龄、心室功能差和室性心律失常的存在可以识别心源性猝死和全因死亡率高风险的 MI 后患者。
许多临床试验评估了急性或慢性抗心律失常药物治疗是否可以降低 MI 后患者的死亡率。 其中,只有单独和联合使用急性静脉内和长期 β 受体阻滞剂被证明可以降低死亡率。 然而,β-受体阻滞剂除了作为抗心律失常药物外还有许多作用,这些其他作用可能对延长寿命特别重要。
其他抗心律失常药物的临床试验均未显示出治疗的显着益处,一些甚至未能显示出积极趋势。 心室早搏的治疗本身当然有可能不会降低死亡率,甚至不会导致猝死。 然而,已经完成的研究并没有充分解决这个问题。 大多数研究规模较小,并且没有根据频繁的异位搏动来选择患者。 此外,可能没有使用最佳剂量的适当药物,不良反应很可能超过任何潜在益处。 依从性差,可能是由于不利影响,也可能限制了获得有益结果的机会。
为了解决其中一些问题,美国国家心肺血液研究所于 1982 年启动了心律失常试点研究。 目标是评估:是否可以找到一种或多种药物在一年内有效和安全地减少心室过早去极化;是否可以使用动态心电图进行剂量调整;以及能否维持良好的患者依从性。 招募了 500 名患者的心律失常试验研究评估了四种活性药物(恩卡尼、乙胺嘧啶、氟卡尼、丙咪嗪)与安慰剂的对比。 该研究规模太小,无法确定这些药物中的任何一种是否对死亡率或主要发病率有影响。 该研究于 1986 年 7 月完成。
试点研究表明患者招募是可行的,可以完成剂量调整,并且可以实现对方案的良好依从性。 由于试点研究的令人鼓舞的结果,NHLBI 进行了全面试验。
设计叙述:
随机、双盲。 招募工作于 1987 年 6 月开始,当时 27 个临床中心开始将 4,400 名心肌梗死后患者随机分配至安慰剂组或恩卡尼、氟卡尼或莫立西嗪治疗组。 在实际随机化之前,有一个开放标签滴定期以确定对治疗有反应的患者。 共有 1,727 名有反应的患者被随机分配:1,455 名接受恩卡尼、氟卡尼或安慰剂,272 名接受莫立西嗪或安慰剂。 1989 年 4 月,因总死亡率增加和心律失常性猝死,恩卡尼和氟卡尼停药。 CAST 继续在 1,300 名患者中比较 moricizine 与安慰剂,持续 18 个月,直到 1991 年 8 月,试验的 moricizine 部分因死亡人数过多而提前停止。 全面试验的主要结果变量是心源性猝死,总死亡率是次要终点。 数据分析一直持续到 1998 年 3 月。
