About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Open Label Study to Assess the PK and PD Properties of a Single Subcutaneous Injection of RUC-4 in Patients With a ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Presenting to the Cardiac Catheterization Lab With Planned Primary Coronary Angioplasty

RUC-4 is a novel, promising and fast acting (5-15 minutes) αIIbβ3 receptor antagonist with a high-grade inhibition of platelet aggregation (≥80%) shortly after subcutaneous administration. This study is designed to extend the findings in CEL-01 to patients with ST-elevation myocardial Infarction (STEMI) presenting to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with planned coronary angioplasty.

Read the detailed description

RUC-4 is a novel, promising and fast acting (5-15 minutes) αIIbβ3 receptor antagonist with a high-grade inhibition of platelet aggregation (≥80%) shortly after subcutaneous administration. For patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) early treatment with RUC-4 could be beneficial by improving initial patency of the infarct related vessel and by minimizing thrombotic occlusions, thus improving both coronary artery and myocardial microvascular blood flow, possibly resulting in a decrease in infarct size and a reduction in complications of STEMI.

The purpose of this study is to assess the PD and PK properties of a single subcutaneous injection of RUC-4 in STEMI patients presenting to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with planned coronary angioplasty. In addition the safety and tolerability will be assessed at baseline and hospital discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RUC-4 Compound in people with Coronary Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by CeleCor Therapeutics at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Platelet Inhibition (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 17 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Feb 2021.
