5th Generation cTnT in ED ACS

NCT03590535 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

This study intends to investigate the usefulness of the new "5th generation" cardiac troponin enzyme in determining which patients presenting with possible acute coronary syndrome can be quickly and safely discharged or admitted from the Emergency Department. The investigators hypothesize that introducing this enzyme into practice will reduce the time it takes to make decisions about admitting or discharging these patients with no increase in adverse events in the discharged patients.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03590535

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03590535 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,949 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Columbia University, which has 875 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Acute Coronary Syndrome appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which 4th Gen cTnT is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03590535 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
