E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
The treatment of acute myocardial infarction, AMI is aimed at enabling the return of blood flow to the ischemic myocardium, thereby limiting the size of the infarct. However the reperfusion by itself causes additional damage to the myocardium. Reducing the size of the myocardial infarct can minimize the risk of heart failure and death. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
This protocol target Patients having an acute myocardial infarction with ST-elevation on ECG. Standard treatment pr. guideline is balloon angioplasty, PCI, to reperfuse the myocardium.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is Myocardial Salvage Index (MSI) measured at Day 90.
MSI is assessed by cMRI and is calculated as the relative change, from baseline to day 90, in myocardial volume at risk
MSI is defined as:
MSI = (AAR (g) – Final Infarct Size (g))/AAR (g)
where AAR (Area at Risk) is assessed as oedema visualized and measured by cMRI using T2 weighted short tau inversion-recovery sequence at Day 2,
and Final Infarct Size is assessed as hyper-enhanced myocardial tissue visualized and measured by cMRI using gadolinium-enhanced images at Day 90.
