Study information

Study designRandomised double blind placebo controlled multi-centre phase II clinical trial.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymMRC-ILA-HEART study
Study objectivesDoes treatment of Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)/Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) with InterLeukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) alter the inflammatory process involved in this condition?
Ethics approval(s)Leeds (West) Research Ethics Committee, 18th December 2006, ref: 06/Q1205/234.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNon-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes
InterventionEligible patients will be randomised in equal proportions between IL-1ra and placebo, receiving either a once daily, subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of IL-1ra (dose 100 mg per 24 hours) for 14 days, or a daily s.c. injection of placebo for 14 days.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)InterLeukin-1 receptor antagonist
Primary outcome measureArea under the curve of serum high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) over the first seven days.
Secondary outcome measures1. Mean hsCRP at seven, 14 and 30 days
2. Area under the curve of Troponin-I
3. von Willebrand Factor (vWF) and InterLeukin-6 (IL-6)
4. ST segment depression on Holter monitor
5. Myocardial injury as determined by Gadolinium enhanced Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) scan
6. Forearm endothelial cell response
7. Incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) at 30 days, three months and at one year
8. Flagging with Office of National Statistics (ONS) for up to five years
Overall study start date01/01/2007
Completion date01/01/2009

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years
SexBoth
Target number of participants186
Key inclusion criteria1. Aged over 18 years of age
2. Acute severe cardiac chest pain consistent with an acute coronary syndrome
3. Less than 48 hours from onset of symptoms that led to hospital admissions
4. And at least one of the following:
a. Horizontal or down-sloping ST depression of at least 0.5mm in at least two Electrocardiogram (ECG) leads
b. a raised troponin as defined by local parameters specified at each centre
c. Other ECG changes consistent with acute myocardial ischaemia (e.g. T-wave inversion of at least 3 mm, in at least two leads of the ECG, or new onset bundle branch block) and an elevated level of Troponin above local laboratory values indicating myocardial damage
Key exclusion criteria1. Less than 18 years of age

12. Eosinophilia
13. Anti-Tumour Necrotising Factor (TNF) biologies
