Brief Summary:
This study aims to assess the effect of exenatide on myocardial injury in patients undergoing emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction or heart attack (STEMI).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Myocardial Infarction Drug: Exenatide Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of patients with STEMI. Those who agree to participate will be immediately randomized to one of two groups: a 24-h infusion of exenatide; or a 24 h infusion of placebo. We will assess the ability of exenatide to reduce ischemic injury. This study will serve as safety evaluation study as well as a pilot for a larger multicentre trial powered for clinical outcomes.

Drug Information available for: Exenatide

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Exenatide

o Exenatide at a dose of 1.5 µg IV over 30 min followed by 1.2 µg/hr IV for 1.5 h (Rate1), followed by 1.9 µg/hr IV* for 22 h (Rate 2)

*Once the creatinine clearance is available, if the value is <60 mL/min, the rate at 2 hours will be maintained at Rate 1 for the duration of the infusion. If the value becomes available after the 2-hour point, and the rate has already been changed to Rate 2, the infusion will be titrated back down to Rate 1 if the creatinine clearance is <60 mL/min.

If the creatinine clearance is <30 mL/min, the infusion will be discontinued and the patient will otherwise continue with all study procedures.

A bolus administration of study medication is initiated preferably prior to reperfusion, or, if not possible, up to 30 minutes after the start of reperfusion to avoid delays in door-to-door balloon times.

Intravenous bolus and 24-hour infusion of exenatide

o Placebo bolus over 30 min followed by placebo infusion at 'Rate 1' for 1.5 h, followed by 'Rate 2' for 22 hours*.
