Colchicine and Spironolactone in Patients With MI / SYNERGY Stent Registry

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Device: SYNERGY Bioabsorbable Polymer Drug-Eluting Stent
Drug: Colchicine-Placebo
Drug: Spironolactone-Placebo
Registration Number
NCT03048825
Lead Sponsor
Population Health Research Institute
Brief Summary

The CLEAR SYNERGY trial will study the long term effects of treatments following PCI to treat myocardial infarction. These treatments address both the culprit artery (PCI with SYNERGY stent) as well as the non-culprit arteries (randomization to routine colchicine and spironolactone).

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, international SYNERGY stent registry that is embedded within a randomized, blinded, double-dummy, 2x2 factorial design trial of colchicine versus placebo and spironolactone versus placebo in patients with myocardial infarction who have undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Inclusion Criteria
  1. a) Patients with STEMI referred for PCI within 12 hours of symptom onset, have a culprit lesion amenable to stenting, and with planned SYNERGY stent implantation for SYNERGY registry
