Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Cardiogenic shock with onset ≤12 hours after STEMI and prior to index PCI, as defined by having persistent SBP <90 mmHg for ≥30 minutes despite fluid resuscitation or pressors/inotropes required to maintain SBP ≥90 mmHg and signs of impaired organ perfusion (cool extremities and/or altered mental status)
Presence of ST-segment elevation (≥2 mm elevation of ST-segments in ≥2 contiguous leads without left bundle branch block) or anterior (V1-V4) ST-segment depression ≥2 mm in ≥2 contiguous leads consistent with a possible posterior infarction AND coronary angiogram prior to randomization showing acute total or subtotal occlusion of the proximal circumflex artery or aVR ST-segment elevation ≥2 mm without anterior ST-segment elevation AND coronary angiogram prior to randomization confirming left main culprit lesion

RECOVER IV Trial Summary

This trial assesses if Impella-based support before PCI helps survival & function in STEMI-CS patients.

Who is the study for?
The RECOVER IV Trial is for patients who've had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) leading to cardiogenic shock within the last 12 hours. They must be planning to undergo an emergency procedure to open blocked arteries (PCI), have low blood pressure despite treatment, and show signs of poor blood flow to organs. Excluded are those with certain medical conditions like prior strokes, severe infections, or life expectancy less than a year.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This trial tests if starting Impella CP® support before opening blocked arteries in the heart improves survival and recovery compared to standard treatments without Impella. Patients with STEMI-cardiogenic shock will either receive this device-based strategy or continue with usual care methods before their PCI procedure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from using Impella CP® include bleeding complications, issues related to vascular access such as infection or limb ischemia, possible stroke risk due to clots forming on the device, and general risks associated with heart procedures.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Treatment ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects randomized to the Treatment Arm will receive hemodynamic support using an Impella-based treatment strategy initiated prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Group II: Control ArmActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects randomized to the Control Arm will be treated based on recommendations for cardiogenic shock in the contemporary AHA/ACC/SCAI and ESC Practice Guidelines for STEMI and Heart Failure Management and local standard of care.
