Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: General 1. Informed consent obtained before any study-related activities. Study-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the study, including activities to determine suitability for the study. 2. Age 18 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent. Disease specific 3. Hospitalisation for acute myocardial infarction with evidence of type 1 MI by invasive angiography performed at site with PCI capabilities. a. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with all the following: - Relevant symptoms suggestive of cardiac ischaemia within 12 hours before hospitalisation or during hospitalisation. - ECG-changes (in the absence of left ventricular hypertrophy or left bundle branch block) colon ST-segment elevation at the J point in at least two contiguous leads greater than or equal to 0.25 mV in men less than 40 years, greater than or equal to 0.2 mV in men greater than or equal to 40 years, or greater than or equal to 0.15 mV in women in leads V2-V3; and or greater than or equal to 0.1 mV in all other leads. or b. Non-ST-segment myocardial infarction with all the following: - Relevant symptoms suggestive of cardiac ischaemia within 24 hours before hospitalisation or during hospitalisation. - Rise and or fall in cardiac troponin I or T with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit. 4. Possibility for randomisation as early as possible after invasive procedure, and latest within 36 hours of hospitalisation (time 0) for STEMI, and latest within 48 hours of hospitalisation (time 0) for NSTEMI. 5. Presence of at least one of the following criteria (confirmed based on the participantâ??s medical records and or medical history interview) - Any prior MI. - Prior coronary revascularisation. - Diabetes mellitus treated with glucose-lowering agent(s). - Known CKD (eGFR greater than or equal to 15 and less than 60 mL per min per 1.73 m2). - Prior ischaemic stroke. - Known carotid disease or peripheral artery disease in the lower extremities. - Multivessel coronary artery disease (current or prior) - For STEMI patients only colon anterior MI at index AMI

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Use of fibrinolytic therapy for treatment of the current AMI. Chronic heart failure classified as being in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV. Ongoing haemodynamic instability defined as any of the following: a) Killip Class III or IV. b) Sustained and/or symptomatic hypotension (systolic blood pressure less than 90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg)). Severe kidney impairment defined as any of the following: a) eGFR less than 15 mililitre per minute per 1.73 m^2. b) Chronic haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Known alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than 8 x upper limit of normal (reference range) (ULN). Severe hepatic disease defined as at least one of the following: a) Previously known or current hepatic encephalopathy (clinical evaluation). b) Previously known or current ascites (clinical eval-uation). c) Jaundice (clinical evaluation). d) Previous oesophageal/gastric variceal bleeding. c) Known hepatic cirrhosis.

Deferred (staged)percutaneous coronary intervention for a non-culprit vessel identified during the current AMI is allowed. Clinical evidence of, or suspicion of, active infection at the discretion of the investigator. Known (acute or chronic) hepatitis B or hepatitis C. History or evidence of untreated latent tuberculosis (TB) such as (but not limited to): a) History of a positive TB test or chest X-ray compatible with latent TB; and TB treatment initiated less than 28 days prior to randomisation. b) Participants with TB risk factors but unwilling to undergo TB treatment if confirmed positive for latent TB based on central laboratory test at baseline (visit 2).
