NCT ID NCT07405788

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tracks over 1,300 heart attack patients who received a procedure called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which opens blocked heart arteries. Researchers want to see if PCI reduces major heart problems like death, another heart attack, or the need for more procedures, compared to standard care. The study also checks for risks like bleeding or kidney issues. It is an observational registry, not a test of a new drug or cure.

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

1. Inclusion Criteria: 1. Clinical diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. 2. Successful direct or emergency PCI of the infarct-related artery. 3. Ability to undergo randomization post-PCI. 4. Ability to understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form. 2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. PCI failure (final TIMI flow \< grade 2) or presence of untreated severe stenosis. 2. Planned staged PCI or other cardiac surgery within 3 months. 3. Cardiogenic shock (Killip class IV), severe structural heart disease, or contraindications to PCI trial intervention. 4. Active bleeding or high bleeding risk. 5. Known allergy to the trial drug or its components. 6. ALT/AST \> 3x upper limit of normal (ULN); eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m². 7. Non-cardiovascular disease with life expectancy \< 1 year (e.g., active malignancy). 8. History of hemorrhagic stroke, or any ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack within the past 6 months. 9. Requirement for long-term oral anticoagulation therapy. 10. Pregnancy, lactation, or women of childbearing potential not using effective contraception. 11. Current participation in another interventional clinical trial. 12. Any condition that may affect trial compliance, safety assessment, or result interpretation per investigator judgment.
