Study summary

This trial is designed as a prospective, multi-center, observational study of "all-comers" eligible adult subjects presenting to participating emergency departments with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

Read the detailed description

This trial is designed as a prospective, multi-center, observational study of "all-comers" eligible adult subjects presenting to participating Emergency Departments (EDs) with symptoms suggestive of ACS and/or myocardial ischemia. Subjects presenting with symptoms suggestive of ACS will be screened and approached for consent for study enrollment by trained personnel.

After obtaining written informed consent, subjects will have up to 4 blood samples collected for cTnI testing using the Meritas Troponin I test and Meritas point-of-care (POC) Analyzer. Blood draws and testing will occur at 4 intervals over 24 hours.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical performance of the Meritas Troponin I test

    Clinical performance indicators (Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) and their respective 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) will be calculated for the quantitative determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) for use as an aid in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI)

    Time frame: 24-hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Prognostic capability of sponsor's Meritas Troponin I to predict mortality (all-cause death) and cardiac events (i.e., MI, cardiac death).

    Kaplan-Meier survival curves and risk ratios. A multivariate Cox proportional model with known risk factors as covariates in addition to the Troponin test result will be included in the data analysis

    Time frame: 1 year
