ExOTIC: Early Treatment With Evolocumab in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, multi-centre, open label, randomised study of Phase II that enrolls patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), comparing Evolocumab versus Standard of Care.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Primary objective of the study is to assess whether early evolocumab administration reduces infarct size in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
At least 150 patients will be enrolled to investigate the efficacy and safety of evolocumab administration in the acute phase of STEMI.
Patients will be followed for 1 year after the enrollment.
