September 21, 2026 updated by: ResoTher Pharma

An Exploratory, Randomised, Double-blind, Multicentre, Placebo-controlled Study of RTP-026 to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy in Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

This is an exploratory, randomized, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled study of RTP-026.

The study population will consist of men and women with documented evidence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) referred to primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

An exploratory, randomized, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled study of RTP-026 to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy in patients with (STEMI).

The study population is men between 18-85 years and post-menopausal women up to 85 years with documented evidence of STEMI referred to primary PCI with acute onset of chest pain lasting <12 hours and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the range of 3-17 at hospital admission (Please refer to inclusion criteria).

The participants will be given three 30-minute intravenous infusions of RTP-026 or placebo (the investigational product). The first dose is to be initiated within 2 hours following the establishment of reflow after PCI, and the following two study treatments with 8-hour intervals.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RTP-026 versus placebo in multiple doses.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Informed consent for participation in the study has been obtained prior to initiating any study-specific procedures
  • Men between 18-85 years of age and post-menopausal women up to 85 years of age
  • Acute onset of chest pain of < 12 hours duration
  • STEMI as characterized on ECG by 2 mm ST elevation in 2 or more V1 through V4 leads or presumed new left bundle branch block with a minimum of 1 mm concordant ST elevation or 1 mV ST elevation in the limb lead (II, III and aVF, I, aVL) and V4-V6 or ST depression in 2 or more V1 through V4 leads indicating posterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
  • Eligible for primary PCI
  • NLR in the range of 7-17 at hospital admission. In patients with chest pain lasting > 3 - ≤ 6 hours at admission, the NLR should be in the range of 4.8-17 and for patients with chest pain lasting ≤ 3 hours at admission, the NLR should be in the range of 4.8-17, or the neutrophile count should be ≥ 9 x 10E9/L, irrespective of the lymphocyte count. For STEMI patients with an anterior or anterolateral infarction, the NLR should be ≥3.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participation in any other study involving investigational drug(s) during the study and within 4 weeks prior to study entry
  • Previous exposure to RTP-026
  • Time from symptoms onset to primary PCI > 12 hours
  • Previous CABG
  • Evidence of active malignant disease
  • Ongoing treatment with immune suppressive compounds
  • Any condition that, in the view of the investigator, would suggest that the patient is unable to comply with the study protocol and procedures
  • Known contraindications to CMR
  • ORBI Risk Score > 12
