Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 2B prospective, blinded, randomized, placebo controlled, international multicenter study. Subjects with STEMI will be enrolled in the ambulance if they meet all eligibility criteria. These subjects will be evaluated by highly trained paramedics who transport the subjects to the participating hospitals in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. Hospitals and ambulance services with experience in ambulance studies will be selected. Each subject will receive a single subcutaneous injection containing either RUC-4 Dose 1 (0.110 mg/kg) or RUC-4 Dose 2 (0.130 mg/kg) or placebo

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Drug: RUC-4 Drug: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Subjects will be screened in the ambulance based on the information available; those fulfilling the eligibility criteria who have provided verbal witnessed/short written informed consent will be randomized and enrolled in the study. Following a single weight-based dose of subcutaneous study drug by the ambulance staff, the patient will be transferred to the clinical site PCI center for angiography and intervention.

Regular standard of care is performed from the provision of informed consent through the last study mandated subject visit. Concomitant medications will be recorded. Treatment with IV P2Y12 antagonists or other αIIbβ3 receptor before PCI/angiography is prohibited. Demographics, concomitant medications, vital signs, and medical history will be collected in the CRF. Adverse events, bleeding events and injection site reactions will be collected. Angiography and PCI details will be recorded. Full written informed consent will be obtained. Additional blood samples for safety will be collected at 1, 6, 24 and 72 hours (or hospital discharge) post-PCI/angiography. Blood samples for high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (upon arrival and 24 hours post PCI/angiography) and NT-ProBNP (24 hours post PCI/angiography) will be assessed by central laboratory. Follow up phone contacts will occur at 1 month to report AEs, bleeding events, and injection site reactions, and 12-months to record mortality, and hospitalizations for heart failure or atrial fibrillation.

Angiography/PCI data and ECGs will be evaluated at independent Core Laboratories. An independent, blinded Clinical Events Committee will provide central adjudication of all clinical endpoint events. A DSMB will examine the safety data in an ongoing manner and to alert the Steering Committee in case of clinically concerning safety issues that should lead to consideration of altering the trial, and can recommend modification of the study protocol based on pre-specified rules.

The duration of participation for each subject will be 12 months (± 1 month), including enrollment, study drug administration, hospitalization, and phone contact follow-up at 1 and 12 months.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. primary efficacy-restoration of the coronary artery blood flow [ Time Frame: before PCI (or coronary angiography if no PCI is performed) ]
    To assess restoration of the coronary artery blood flow (corrected Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] Frame Count) before intended PCI (or post coronary angiography in case no PCI is performed) after a single subcutaneous injection of RUC-4 versus placebo in STEMI subjects in the ambulance (pre-hospital setting)

  2. primary efficacy-resolution of ST segment deviation [ Time Frame: 1 hour post-PCI/angiography ]
    To assess resolution of ST segment deviation post-PCI/angiography after a single subcutaneous injection of RUC-4 versus placebo in STEMI subjects in the ambulance (pre-hospital setting)

  3. primary safety- bleeding events [BARC criteria] [ Time Frame: after a single subcutaneous injection of RUC-4 versus placebo up to 1 month post-PCI/angiography ]
    • To assess bleeding events (according to Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries [GUSTO] severe or life threatening criterion for safety assessment and according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium [BARC] 3C and 5 criteria for information only)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy-composite of all cause death, recurrent MI, urgent TVR or blinded bail-out use of IV αIIbβ3 antagonists or intravenous P2Y12 antagonist [ Time Frame: up to 1 month post-PCI/angiography ]
    To assess a composite of all cause death, recurrent MI, urgent TVR or blinded bail-out use of IV αIIbβ3 antagonists or intravenous P2Y12 antagonist after a single subcutaneous injection of RUC-4 versus placebo

  2. Efficacy-acute stent thrombosis [ Time Frame: up to 24 hours post-PCI ]
