NCT ID NCT06768034

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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

About 1 in 10 people who have noncardiac surgery experience a heart injury, which raises their risk of death within 30 days. This pilot study will test whether routinely referring these patients to a heart specialist (internist or cardiologist) helps them get the right medications and care. The study will enroll 100 adults and focus on whether this approach is practical, not yet on whether it prevents heart attacks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
referral to a heart specialist (internist or cardiologist)
What this could lead to
If this pilot shows it's feasible, it could lead to a larger study that may improve heart care after surgery and reduce heart attacks.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot study with only 100 people, testing whether the approach is practical—not whether it works. It may not lead to clear benefits.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Apr 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Nov 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)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Have undergone noncardiac surgery, 2. Had a myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery with a presumed ischemic mechanism and without an overt nonischemic precipitating etiology (e.g., sepsis) 3. Provide written informed consent to participate in the SYNERGY pilot trial. Exclusion Criteria: 1. already on 2 of 3 secondary cardiovascular prevention medications (i.e., antiplatelet, statin, and/or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI)/angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) 2. patients with contraindication to statins (i.e., decompensated or Child-Pugh C cirrhosis, acute liver failure, elevated AST/ALT greater than 2-fold the normal upper limit, previous demonstrated statin hypersensitivity, allergy, or statin-related myopathy); 3. patients with contraindication to antiplatelet therapy (i.e., active or recent \<1-month peptic ulcer disease, esophageal or gastric variceal disease, history of intracranial or intraspinal hemorrhage, significant thrombocytopenia with platelet count \<50 × 109/L), 4. patients with contraindication to ACEI and ARB therapy (i.e, hypersensitivity or allergy to ACEI or ARB); 5. Previously enrolled in the SYNERGY pilot trial, 6. Considered unreliable or unable to complete the trial procedures.
