  Purpose

Experimental evidence suggests exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor analogue, has significant cardiovascular protective effects in various conditions. The investigators examined whether conventional use of exenatide at the time of primary percutaneous coronary intervention would reduce the infarct size in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Infarct size [ Time Frame: 1 month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Infarct size was assessed by measuring the release of creatine kinase-MB and troponin I during 72 hours and by performing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging on 1 month after infarction.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Participants with Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 6 month after primary PCI ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Adverse events of exenatide such as hypoglycemia, nausea, vomiting, and chest pain aggravation were monitored during study period.

  • LV function [ Time Frame: at admission and 6 month after primary PCI ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography was performed at initial presentation and 3 days and 6 months after primary PCI.

  • Clinical outcomes [ Time Frame: 6 months after primary PCI ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    During 6-month follow up, clinical outcomes such as all death, repeated myocardial infarction or repeated PCI were also assessed.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Exenatide

Drug: Exenatide

10 μg subcutaneous and 10 μg intravenously injection of exenatide BYETTA® (Amylin-Lilly) 5 min before the onset of reperfusion. And twice daily 10 μg subcutaneous injection was continued on the following 2 days.

 Drug: exenatide BYETTA® (Amylin-Lilly)

After informed consent was obtained, patients who met the enrollment criteria were randomly assigned to either the control group or the exenatide group.

Patients assigned to exenatide were treated with 10 μg subcutaneous and 10 μg intravenously injection of exenatide BYETTA® (Amylin-Lilly) 5 min before the onset of reperfusion. And twice daily 10 μg subcutaneous injection was continued on the following 2 days.

Other Name: Saline
Placebo Comparator: Saline

Drug: Saline

10 μg subcutaneous and 10 μg intravenously injection of equivalent volume of normal saline 5 min before the onset of reperfusion. And twice daily 10 μg subcutaneous injection was continued on the following 2 days.

 Drug: Saline

After informed consent was obtained, patients who met the enrollment criteria were randomly assigned to either the control group or the exenatide group.

Patients assigned to saline were treated with 10 μg subcutaneous and 10 μg intravenously injection of equivalent volume of normal saline 5 min before the onset of reperfusion. And twice daily 10 μg subcutaneous injection was continued on the following 2 days.

Other Name: Exenatide

Detailed Description:

In this proof-of-concept trial, we assessed the effects of acute-phase adjunctive exenatide therapy in patients with STEMI.

Infarct size after STEMI was evaluated by both cardiac magnetic resonance image and cardiac biomarkers compared with standard treatment.

LV function was assessed by conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography. During 6-month follow up, the safety/tolerability of exenatide and clinical outcomes were also assessed.
