About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Study of the Safety and Efficacy of RGN-352 in Subjects With an Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) After Occlusion of the Proximal Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two active doses of RGN-352 (thymosin beta 4, Tβ4, Injectable Solution) in patients with acute myocardial infarction receiving percutaneous coronary intervention angioplasty with or without stent placement. Approximately 75 subjects will be randomized to receive one of two RGN-352 doses of 1200 mg, or 450 mg, or placebo, administered iv by iv push daily for the first 3 consecutive days and weekly for 4 more weeks.
Read the detailed description
This is a double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, dose finding study. Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive one of two doses of RGN-352 or matching placebo with an equal allocation ratio (i.e., 1:1:1). Approximately 75 subjects will be randomized to study treatment to achieve at least 60 evaluable subjects with 20 to 25 subjects per group. Subjects will be randomized to receive one of two RGN-352 doses of 1200 mg, or 450 mg, or placebo, administered iv by iv push daily for the first 3 consecutive days and weekly for 4 consecutive weeks. Study subjects will undergo cardiac angiography to assess initial coronary artery patency and Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade both pre- and post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) angioplasty. A total of 7 doses will be administrated over the treatment period. The first dose of either RGN-352 or placebo will be administered to randomized subjects following PCI angioplasty and specifically within 30 minutes after balloon deflation, with a further 2 doses. The remaining 4 doses will be given weekly for 4 consecutive weeks. Follow-up is on Months 2, 4, and 6.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Drug: Injectable Thymosin beta 4 in people with Acute Myocardial Infarction and ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Inc..
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Total MRI infarct zone derived from cardiac MRI scan (time frame: Day 28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Sep 2021.
