GLP-1 Loading During Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Phase 2
Conditions
Angina Pectoris
Myocardial Infarction
Reperfusion Injury
Coronary Heart Disease
Interventions
Drug: placebo
Registration Number
NCT02127996
Lead Sponsor
Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

Angina is caused by narrowings or blockages within coronary arteries. Coronary angioplasty and stenting is performed for people with angina to improve the blood supply to the heart by placing metal tubes within the artery using balloon inflation. The procedure risks small but significant damage to the heart muscle downstream of the balloon.

Glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP 1) is a naturally occurring hormone secreted by cells in the gut in response to food. It acts by stimulating the release of insulin. In the heart it acts to increase glucose uptake into cardiac muscle. GLP-1 can protect the heart and improve heart muscle performance in people with coronary artery disease in physiological studies. This study which assesses whether GLP-1 protects the heart during coronary angioplasty and stenting.

The hypothesis is that GLP-1 given during elective coronary angioplasty and stenting will reduce cardiac troponin rise (a measure of heart muscle damage) compared to placebo.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma Troponin I level6 Hours following angioplasty or stenting

Incidence of Troponin I elevation of \> 5 x 99th percentile upper reference limit on blood test at approximately 6 hours post procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Electrocardiographic (ECG) Changes during procedureAssessed during procedure

Presence or absence of ECG changes reflective of myocardial ischaemia during the procedure

Ischaemic symptoms during balloon occlusionAssessed during procedure

Presence or absence or of symptoms of myocardial ischaemia during the procedure

Major Adverse Cardiovascular or Cerebrovascular Event (MACCE) RatesFrom date of randomisation until the date of first event assessed up to 6 months

MACCE rate (death, stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, hospitalisation with heart failure, stroke)- these will be patient reported and confirmed by interrogation of hospital records and interrogation of local and national databases.

Plasma Creatine Kinase - Myocardial Bound (CKMB) level6 hours

CKMB level on blood test at 6 hours following angioplasty or stenting

Myocardial Flow Grade after Angioplasty or StentingMeasured during procedure

Graded between 0 and 3 on Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Scale

MACCE RatesFrom date of randomisation until the date of first event assessed up to 60 months

MACCE rate (death, stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, hospitalisation with heart failure, stroke)- these will be patient reported and confirmed by interrogation of hospital records and interrogation of local and national databases.

Myocardial Blush Grade following angioplasty or stentingMeasured during procedure

Graded between 0 and 3 on Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Scale
