The Norwegian Trial of Physical Exercise After Myocardial Infarction

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the main cause of death in Europe with about 2 million deaths annually. According to WHO, 30 % of deaths caused by MI could be prevented if the populations adhere to official guidelines for physical activity. However, secondary prevention trials in MI patients have been of insufficient size or quality to provide conclusive evidence that physical activity reduces the risk of death or recurrent cardiovascular diseases. NorEx is the first study able to provide such evidence. NorEx is a registry-based prospective, three-arm, randomized multicenter secondary prevention clinical trial with blinded end-point evaluation (PROBE design). The aim of the study is to investigate whether, and to what extent, moderate to high intensity supervised physical activity will reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular disease and death among people who have suffered a myocardial infarction. The intervention group consists of Approximately 3185 participants who will be trained to exercise for 4 years under supervision of a personal trainer. The study design includes two control groups each consisting of approximately 3200 patients.The primary composite endpoint is time to all-cause death, nonfatal acute myocardial infarction or nonfatal stroke, whatever comes first during 4 years of follow-up. The study is powered to detect a 20 % difference in the incidence of the primary endpoint between the intervention group and the control groups. Novel health IT technology was specifically designed for NorEx, including a smart watch, a NorEx mobile application and a manager portal which allows the trainers to interact with the participants. Follow-up of the participants will be through national health registries for up to 10 years after study completion.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
