China Tongxinluo Study for Myocardial Protection in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

Phase 4
Conditions
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Drug: Placebos
Registration Number
NCT03792035
Lead Sponsor
China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
Brief Summary

To determine the therapeutic effects of Tongxinluo Capsules as compared with placebo in the treatment of patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI): (1) Clinical efficacy and safety at 30 days: the incidence of composite endpoints comprising major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, including cardiovascular death, myocardial re-infarction, emergency coronary revascularization and cerebral stroke), severe complications (including cardiogenic shock, heart failure, mechanical complications and malignant arrhythmias), and major bleeding (BARC grade III and V); (2) Clinical efficacy and safety at 1 year: the incidence of composite endpoints comprising MACCE, hospitalization due to heart failure, in-stent thrombosis, and major bleeding (BARC grade III and V), as well as all-cause mortality; (3) the effects in promoting myocardial reperfusion, reducing incidence of myocardial no-reflow, protecting ischemic myocardium, minimizing infarction size, and improving left ventricular systolic function.
