The treatment of acute myocardial infarction, AMI is aimed at enabling the return of blood flow to the ischemic myocardium, thereby limiting the size of the infarct. However the reperfusion by itself causes additional damage to the myocardium. Reducing the size of the myocardial infarct can minimize the risk of heart failure and death.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of two dose levels of Danegaptide to placebo when added to the standard treatment of STEMI in patients with single vessel disease having TIMI flow 0 or 1 prior to PCI conducted within 6 hours of symptoms debut.;Secondary Objective: - To explore the efficacy of two dose levels of Danegaptide compared to placebo when added to the standard treatment of STEMI patients - To explore additional functional, pharmacodynamic and clinical effects of Danegaptide when added to the standard treatment of STEMI patients. - To describe pharmacokinetic parameters (PK) of Danegaptide - To describe the safety of two dose levels of Danegaptide relative to placebo when added to the standard treatment of STEMI patients ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is Myocardial Salvage Index (MSI) measured at Day 90. MSI is assessed by cMRI and is calculated as the relative change, from baseline to day 90, in myocardial volume at risk MSI is defined as: MSI = (AAR (g) – Final Infarct Size (g))/AAR (g) where AAR (Area at Risk) is assessed as oedema visualized and measured by cMRI using T2 weighted short tau inversion-recovery sequence at Day 2, and Final Infarct Size is assessed as hyper-enhanced myocardial tissue visualized and measured by cMRI using gadolinium-enhanced images at Day 90. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 2 (48-72 hours) Magnetic Resonnance Imaging for AAR assessment and day 90 MRI for Final Infarct Size. | — |

|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary MRI parameters: - Relative infarct size ((%) [infarct size/left ventricle (LV) size (g/g)] × 100), as assessed by LGE cMRI, at Day 90 - Relative infarct size (%) at baseline and change in infarct size from baseline to Day 90 - Absolute infarct size (g) and change in absolute infarct size at baseline and Day 90 - Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at baseline and Day 90 and change in LVEF from baseline to Day 90 - Change in LV wall thickness of all segments at end diastole and end systole from baseline to Day 90 - Change in left ventricular end-systolic volume (LV-ESV) as measured by cMRI from baseline to Day 90 - Change in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LV-EDV) as measured by cMRI from baseline to Day 90 - Relative volume with microvascular obstruction (MVO) as assessed by cMRI at Day 2 - Relative volume with infarct haemorrhage by cMRI at Day 2 Secondary Efficacy Endpoints (Non-imaging): - 90-day clinical outcome/MACE [cardiac death, new or worsening heart failure (during the initial hospitalization) and re-hospitalization due to heart failure] - Occurrence of arrhythmias during hospitalization and hospitalization for arrhythmias during the follow-up period - Degree of ST-resolution and fraction of patients with = 70% ST-resolution measured 60 minutes post-PCI procedure - Infarct size, as assessed by area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC 0-48 hours) for creatine kinase-MB and TnT - TIMI-flow as assessed immediately after the PCI procedure - Adverse events incl. all cause mortality, stroke, arrythmias and ICD implantation -Quality of Life assessment according to SF-36 and EQ-5D Secondary PK Endpoints: - Plasma concentration of Danegaptide at the end of the PCI procedure - Post infusion plasma concentration of Danegaptide (7-12 hours) - Estimated half-life and clearance of Danegaptide - Estimated volume of distribution at steady state (Vss) based on the plasma concentration of Dan | — |
