Biomarker patterns in ACS patients with pneumonia and COPD after flu vaccination

Official title: Analysis of the Relationship Between Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), Mid Regional proAdrenomedullin (MR proADM), and Persepsin Levels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome With Pneumonia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) With Influenza Vaccination

Run by University of Brawijaya · NCT07604103 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether certain blood biomarkers change in people with acute coronary syndrome who also have pneumonia and COPD, and whether flu vaccination affects those biomarker levels.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult male patients under 65 who are active smokers with confirmed ACS and pneumonia, stabilized after initial therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients without ACS, pneumonia, or COPD, or those not stabilized after initial treatment, may not benefit from the biomarker-focused insights.

What this trial studies

This interventional Phase 3 study analyzes relationships between GDF-15, Mid Regional proADM, and Presepsin in adults with ACS and respiratory comorbidities who have received influenza vaccination. It is observational in design but involves measurements alongside standard therapies, including Vaxigrip vaccination, antibiotics, and percutaneous coronary intervention. Researchers will compare biomarker levels with clinical outcomes and vaccination status to see if these markers reflect inflammatory and disease status beyond traditional assessments. The study aims to determine if these biomarkers can provide a more detailed view of patient condition during the overlap of ACS, pneumonia, and COPD. Enrollment focuses on adults under 65 who are active smokers and have demonstrated stabilization after initial therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, biomarkers could help clinicians better gauge disease severity and response to treatment in ACS with pneumonia and COPD, and clarify the role of prior influenza vaccination on inflammation.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research has explored similar biomarkers in inflammatory and cardiac conditions, but this exact combination in ACS with pneumonia/COPD and vaccination status is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adult male patients (\< 65 years old).
* History of being an active smoker.
* Confirmed diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Pneumonia based on clinical, laboratory, and radiological criteria.
* Demonstrated clinical improvement (stabilization) after receiving standard ACS and Pneumonia therapy in the acute intrahospital phase.
* Willing to undergo all study procedures and sign the Informed Consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Presence of absolute contraindications to pneumococcal and influenza vaccination (history of anaphylactic reactions to vaccine components).
* Patients with malignancies (cancer), systemic autoimmune diseases, or those currently on long-term immunosuppressant therapy.
* Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or severe liver dysfunction that could confound inflammatory biomarker values.
* Patients with persistently unstable hemodynamic conditions or unresolved cardiogenic shock during the acute care phase.
* Patient death before the observation period (up to post-vaccination) is completed.
* Patient unilaterally resigns or withdraws consent during the study.
* Lost to follow-up during scheduled outpatient clinic visits or scheduled follow-up biomarker evaluations.
