Registration Number
NCT05309499
Lead Sponsor
Kazan State Medical University
Brief Summary

The OPERA-MI trial evaluates the effect of i.v. ferric carboxymaltose compared to the effect of oral iron, on left ventricular systolic function.

Detailed Description

For this study an open-label prospective randomized approach is used. During the study 360 patients with or without ID, who hospitalized for myocardial infarction were signed up. Patients were randomised (1:1) to either intravenous. FCM or oral ferrous sulphate and received the treatment during hospitalisation. Patients are closely followed for 1 year. The primary outcome is a decrease in the Wall Motion Score Index value in FCM group compered to ferrous sulphate group. The main secondary outcome includes the composite of cardio-vascular mortality, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal MI, recurrent heart failure hospitalizations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
decrease in the wall motion score index1 year

WMSI reflects the left ventricular systolic function and calculated by dividing the sum of the aforementioned segmental values by the number of myocardial segments (16). There are no spetial units of measure for it.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
composite outcome1 year

composite of cardio-vascular (CV) mortality, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal MI, recurrent HF hospitalizations.
