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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at how doctors treat people having a severe heart attack complicated by cardiogenic shock, where the heart can't pump enough blood. Researchers will track 124 patients at 20 U.S. hospitals to see how decisions about using mechanical heart support devices affect survival. The goal is to learn which escalation strategies work best, not to test a new drug or device.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mechanical circulatory support devices
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors make better decisions about when and how to escalate support for heart attack patients in shock, potentially improving survival rates.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment test, so it won't directly prove a new therapy works. Results may vary across hospitals and might not apply to all patients.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosis of acute AMI confirmed by a medical professional, with changes in serum biomarkers or evidence of ischemic EKG changes (STEMI or NSTEMI). 2. Cardiogenic Shock present as defined by the presence of 2 OR MORE of the following criteria prior to PCI: * Hypotension: systolic blood pressure ≤ 90mmHg at baseline (prior to PCI) or the use of inotropes or vasopressors to maintain SBP ≥ 90mmHg * Evidence of end organ hypoperfusion: elevated serum lactate levels (venous or arterial), cool extremities, oliguria/anuria * Hemodynamic criteria: Cardiac Index of \< 2.2 L/min/m2 or a cardiac power output (CPO) of ≤ 0.6 watts 3. Patient underwent PCI within 12 hours of hospital presentation. Exclusion Registry Exclusion Criteria: AMICS patients who meet any of the following study exclusion criteria will have a limited set of data collected via a single-page Patient Exclusion Form completed and submitted within 45 days of hospital discharge, which includes the reason for exclusion, date of index PCI, and assessment of patient survival to hospital discharge: 1. Evidence of Anoxic Brain Injury 2. Unwitnessed out of hospital cardiac arrest or any cardiac arrest in which return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is not achieved within 30 minutes 3. IABP placed prior to MCS 4. Septic, anaphylactic, hemorrhagic, and neurologic causes of shock 5. Non-ischemic causes of shock/hypotension (pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, myocarditis, tamponade, etc.) 6. Active bleeding for which MCS is contraindicated 7. Recent major surgery for which MCS is contraindicated 8. Mechanical complications of AMI (acute ventricular septal defect (VSD) or acute papillary muscle rupture) 9. Known left ventricular thrombus for which MCS is contraindicated 10. Mechanical aortic prosthetic valve 11. Contraindication to intravenous systemic anticoagulation which precludes placement of MCS.
