NCT02233790

Brief Summary

The patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) present high mortality and morbidity rate,even treated with stenting in the blocked heart vessels. The appearance of no-reflow is common after re-opening of the blocked vessel. The no-reflow were commonly attributed to tiny blockage in coronary micro-vasculature by thrombus and spasm of the micro-vessel during stenting. An agent with more effective anti-clotting and micro-vessel dilation would be helpful to solve the issue of no-reflow. Ticagrelor was demonstrated to be a potent platelet inhibitor and a potent micro-vessel dilator which can influence metabolism of adenosine, a endogenous potent small vessel dilator. This study is to test the effectiveness of ticagrelor on improving reperfusion and minimizing the myocardial infarct size after PPCI in patients with AMI.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures
  • Patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, an onset of symptoms presented within 12 hours. Two criteria have to be met: persistent ST-segment elevation of at least 0.1 mV in at least two contiguous leads or a new left bundle-branch block, and the intention to perform primary PCI
  • Patients must agree to undergo all protocol-required follow-up examinations and not to participate any other clinical trials within the duration of this study

You may not qualify if:

  • Any contraindication against the use of clopidogrel or ticagrelor
  • Fibrinolytic therapy within 24 hours before randomization
  • Stroke within the previous 6 months or intracranial hemorrhage at any time before randomization
  • Any other concomitant severe organic or systemic disorder, such as severe liver (ALT\>3×ULN )or renal disease(creatinin\>5.0mg/dl or 442μmol/L), etc.
  • A need for oral anticoagulation therapy
  • An increased risk of bradycardia or atrial-ventricle block
  • Concomitant therapy with a strong cytochrome P-450 3A inhibitor or inducer
  • Pregnant women or breast-feeding, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in this study
  • Subject has any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject (eg, compromise the well-being) or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
