Does Cyclosporine ImpRove Clinical oUtcome in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients at 3 Years of Follow-up. CIRCUS II Study

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2017-06-28
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Infarct size is a major determinant of vital prognosis after AMI. We recently reported that cyclosporine A, when administered immediately prior to PCI reperfusion, can significantly reduce infarct size in STEMI patients. The CIRCUS study aimed at determining the impact of cyclosporine on the combined incidence of (death, hospitalization for heart failure, LV remodelling) at one year after AMI. However, many patients may display increased adverse LV remodelling beyond year 1 and develop heart failure thereafter. The present CIRCUS II trial aims at examining the 3-year clinical outcome of all patients recruited in the CIRCUS study.

• Phase: Phase 3

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• All (male and female) patients, aged over 18, without any legal protection measure,

• Having a health coverage,

• Presenting within 12 hours of the onset of chest pain,

• Who have ST segment elevation ≥0.2 mV in two contiguous leads,

• For whom the clinical decision was made to treat with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

And (further inclusion criteria to be confirmed by the admission coronary-angiography):

• The culprit coronary artery has to be the LAD

• The LAD artery has to be occluded (TIMI flow grade 0-1) at the time of admission coronary angiography.

Patients undergoing either primary PCI or rescue PCI are eligible for the study. Patients with previous AMI, PCI or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) are eligible for the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with cardiogenic shock

• Patients with the left circumflex or the right coronary artery (RCA) as the culprit artery, or with evidence of coronary collaterals to the risk region

• Patients with an opened (TIMI > 1) LAD coronary artery at admission on initial (admission) coronary angiography

• Patients with 1. known hypersensitivity to cyclosporine 2. known hypersensitivity to egg, peanut or Soya-bean proteins 3. known renal insufficiency (either known creatinin clearance < 30 ml/min/1.73m² or current medical care for severe renal insufficiency)

4. known liver insufficiency 5. uncontrolled (treated or untreated) hypertension (> 180/110 mmHg)
