Myocardial Infarction |
| Purpose: |
|
The objective of the present study is to establish the safety and efficacy of Prochymal®
following first acute myocardial infarction.
|
| Study summary: |
|
The standard of care treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) usually includes
immediate perfusion, optimal pain relief, oxygen, aspirin or other anti-coagulants,
Beta-Blockers, nitrates and Ace-inhibitors. However, because salvaging the viable
myocardium is dependent on early reperfusion, only a minority of patients will reach the
hospital within the time-window for myocardial rescue. Thus, even if the patient manages
their tobacco use, hypertension, lipid levels, diabetes, weight and exercise, many patients
will go on to develop Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Though the medical management for CHF
may improve symptoms and slow disease progression, such treatment cannot restore a
functioning myocardium. A therapy that could improve the myocardial remodeling process and
reduce the incidence or severity of CHF following acute MI would provide a significant
benefit. The characteristics and biologic activity of Prochymal®, along with a good safety
profile in human trials to date, suggest that Prochymal® may be a good candidate for
addressing this unmet medical need. |
