Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging for the Translation of Therapies for Vascular Activation After MI

May 30, 2025 updated by: Jonathan Lindner, MD, University of Virginia
Subjects with urgently reperfused type I myocardial infarction (MI) will be recruited and randomized to receive either placebo or the oral inflammasome (NLRP3) inhibitor dapansutrile. The primarily outcome measure will be carotid plaque volume change over 6 months; secondary outcome measures will be plaque inflammatory activity and coronary microvascular function.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Remote plaque volume
Time Frame: 6 months
Carotid artery plaque volume change by ultrasound measured by 3D ultrasound. Outcome units will be cm3 averaged for bilateral carotid arteries.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Plaque inflammation
Time Frame: 3 months
Carotid artery plaque inflammatory activity by PET-CT. Units will be SVU averaged bilaterally for a region-of-interest over the carotid bifurcation.
3 months
Coronary microvascular function
Time Frame: 3 months
Coronary microvascular reactivity by myocardial contrast echo (MCE) quantitative perfusion imaging. The primary endpoint unit will be coronary microvascular flux rate reserve (regadenoson stress: rest ratio).
3 months
