Effect of infLuenza vaccInation After Myocardial INfArction on Cardiac inflammaTory responsE - a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Trial (ELIMINATE Trial)

Study Type

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

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

  • Patients with a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
  • A finalized coronary PCI
  • Male or non-fertile female subjects ≥18 years. (Females without childbearing potential, postmenopausal women and women with a history of hysterectomy or other medical conditions that preclude pregnancy)
  • Written informed consent
  • A CCTA can be scheduled within 7 days after PCI

Exclusion Criteria15

  • Has received influenza vaccination within 6 months
  • Other vaccination planned within 8 weeks (including covid-19 booster doses)
  • Severe allergy to eggs or previous allergic reaction to influenza vaccine
  • Cardiac surgery or staged PCI planned within 8 weeks
  • Coronary stent involving the proximal RCA
  • 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.
  • Contraindication to coronary CT angiography (e.g., inability to lie flat, contraindication to glyceryl trinitrate, previous contrast allergy or contrast-induced nephropathy, severe renal impairment \[eGFR \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2\])
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Uncontrolled chronic inflammatory disease
  • Unable to comply with protocol requirements
