Summary

This trial will test if giving a specific medication through a vein to adults who had a heart attack and received a stent can help protect their heart from more damage. They want to see if this medication

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had a severe type of heart attack known as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and have been treated with stent placement. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards to be included.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Atibuclimab (IC14), an anti-CD14 monoclonal antibody, given once via IV at 20 mg/kg, against a placebo consisting of 150 mL saline solution also given once via IV. The aim is to see if Atibuclimab can prevent further damage to heart muscle and improve heart function.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this trial, monoclonal antibodies like Atibuclimab can sometimes cause allergic reactions, infusion-related discomfort, or immune system responses that may affect various organs.
