Nitric Oxide in Myocardial Infarction Size

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
STEMI
Acute Myocardial Infarction
ST Elevation MI
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Nitric Oxide
Registration Number
NCT00568061
Lead Sponsor
Mallinckrodt
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether or not inhaled nitric oxide can decrease myocardial infarction (MI) size at 48-72 hours in patients presenting with an ST segment elevation MI (STEMI) who undergo successful percutaneous coronary intervention.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the trial is to assess whether or not inhaled nitric oxide can decrease myocardial infarction (MI) size as a fraction of left ventricular (LV) size at 48-72 hours in patients presenting with an ST segment elevation MI who undergo successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

The primary endpoint for this study will be myocardial infarction size as a fraction of left ventricular size at 48-72 hours as measured by contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI.
