Effect of infLuenza vaccInation After Myocardial INfArction on Cardiac inflammaTory responsE - a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Trial (ELIMINATE Trial)
Region Örebro County
90 participants
Apr 24, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to investigate the immunological effects of influenza vaccination outside of the influenza season on arterial inflammation in patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The primary objective is to compare the effects of influenza vaccination to those of a placebo in reducing post-myocardial infarction coronary inflammation as measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does influenza vaccination reduce arterial inflammation as measured by CCTA at week 8 after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in comparison to baseline? Does influenza vaccination modulate systemic inflammation as measured by blood biomarkers and in-vitro challenge tests at week 8 after PCI in comparison to baseline? Researchers will compare the effects of influenza vaccination with those of a placebo.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5

- Written informed consent
- A CCTA can be scheduled within 7 days after PCI
Exclusion Criteria15

- Suspicion of febrile illness or acute, ongoing infection
- Hypersensitivity to the active substances or ingredients of Vaxigrip or against any residues, such as eggs (ovalbumin or chicken proteins), neomycin, formaldehyde and octoxinol
- Subjects with endogenic or iatrogenic immunosuppression that may result in reduced immunization response
- Inability to provide informed consent
- Previous randomization in the ELIMINATE trial
- Any non-cardiovascular condition, e.g. malignancy, with a life expectancy of less than 1 year based on the investigator´s clinical judgement.
