Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to appraise the impact of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in the treatment of early stages of cardiogenic shock, irrespective of etiology. Findings of this randomized trial may enhance clinical decision making regarding the use of MCS in specific subsets of patients in early stages of cardiogenic shock. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the effects of IABP on a composite of clinical endpoints representing clinical deterioration at 30-days in patients presenting with SCAI stage B or C cardiogenic shock? * What is the 1-year clinical outcome (including mortality and hospital admissions for cardiovascular causes) of patients treated with vs. without IABP for early cardiogenic shock? * Is there a difference in efficacy of IABP within the treatment of early cardiogenic shock related to Acute Coronary Syndrome versus non-ischemic causes? * Is there a difference in efficacy of IABP within the treatment of SCAI stage B versus stage C cardiogenic shock? Participants will be 1:1 randomized to IABP support or standard of care (a treatment strategy including inotropes and/or vasopressors but no IABP insertion). Patients will be stratified for Acute Coronary Syndrome/non-ischemic etiology and stage B/stage C cardiogenic shock, following stratification to center. Researchers will compare the group who was randomized to IABP to the control group (i.e. standard of care) to see if there is a difference in the primary trial endpoint after 30-days, including 1) all-cause mortality, 2) escalation to invasive mechanical ventilation, 3) escalation of mechanical circulatory support strategy, 4) acute kidney injury and 5) stroke or transient ischemic attack.

Detailed description

Rationale: The scientific underpinning for the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in early cardiogenic shock, especially for the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), is scarce and insufficiently clarified for different etiologies of cardiogenic shock. Previous randomized trials limited the inclusion criteria to patients with ischemic cardiogenic shock while observational research suggested favorable effects of timely adoption of IABP in patients with deteriorating myocardial function through ischemic or non-ischemic causes. Early stage of cardiogenic shock is defined by relative hypotension without hypoperfusion, or hypoperfusion still responsive to therapy (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, SCAI, stage B and C, respectively). A tightening of global guidelines with respect to the clinical adoption of IABP overshadowed the potential beneficial effects for specific patient categories within the total spectrum of cardiogenic shock. Patients currently presenting with early stages of cardiogenic shock caused by ischemic or non-ischemic etiology are hypothetically undertreated due to an assumed lack of clinical benefit of IABP in general. The aim of this randomized trial is to appraise the impact of IABP in the treatment of early stages of cardiogenic shock, irrespective of etiology. Findings of this randomized trial may enhance clinical decision making regarding the use of MCS in specific subsets of patients in early stages of cardiogenic shock. Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the 30-day clinical impact of IABP within the treatment of early (SCAI stage B or C) cardiogenic shock. Secondary objectives are 1\) To evaluate the 1-year clinical outcome (including mortality and hospital admissions for cardiovascular causes) of patients treated with IABP for early cardiogenic shock; 2) To identify differences in efficacy of IABP in the treatment of early cardiogenic shock related to Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) versus non-ischemic causes; 3) To explore differences in efficacy of IABP in the treatment of stage B versus stage C cardiogenic shock. Trial design: Open-label, multicenter, investigator-initiated, randomized controlled trial. Trial population: The trial population consists of patients in early cardiogenic shock, defined as SCAI stage B or C, either related or unrelated to ACS. Intervention: Patients enrolled in this trial will be 1:1 randomized to IABP support or standard of care (i.e. inotropes and/or vasopressors but no IABP insertion). Patients will be stratified for ACS/non-ischemic etiology and stage B/stage C cardiogenic shock following stratification according to center.

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump	Patients who are randomized to the IABP-arm will be supported with IABP according to local, clinical guidelines (including algorithms for anticoagulation, verification of correct positioning and weaning strategies). The IABP console and disposables should be used according to the instructions for use, including the use of an appropriate-sized IABP balloon alligned with patient length and height.
