Summary

This trialstudies whether an injection given in the ambulance can help treat people with severe heart attack symptoms. Medics will take patients to hospitals in Europe & North America. Subjects will receive a single injection of a drug or placebo.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 and post-menopausal or surgically sterile women over 50, with a weight between 52-130 kg. Participants must have had a heart attack (STEMI) with chest pain and specific ECG changes, but symptoms should not exceed four hours. They need to be able to consent to the study unless emergency conditions apply.
What is being tested?
The study tests zalunfiban in patients who've just had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI). It's blinded and randomized: participants get either zalunfiban at one of two doses or a placebo by injection in an ambulance on the way to the hospital.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common risks may include bleeding complications due to zalunfiban's potential blood-thinning properties, allergic reactions, or other drug-related adverse events.
