Heart Enlargement, Heart Failure, Myocardial Infarction
Conditions
Brief summary
The main purpose of the study is to test whether a possible new drug (called PG-116800) can prevent some of the damage to heart muscle in patients who have had a heart attack. The study will also supply information regarding possible uses of this compound in cardiovascular disease.
Detailed description
Heart attacks cause damage to heart muscle that can weaken the heart and lead to changes in the shape and pumping ability of the heart. These changes can lead to heart failure. An enzyme called metalloproteinase (MMP) plays a role in this damage. The main purpose of the study is to test whether a possible new drug (called PG-116800) that interferes with the MMP enzyme can prevent some of the damage to heart muscle in patients who have had a heart attack. The study will also supply information regarding possible uses of this compound in cardiovascular disease. This is a Phase II proof-of-concept study; that is, it is a first attempt to treat sick people with the drug to see if it works. The study is interventional since we will be using a drug to interfere with the heart tissue damage that follows a heart attack.
Interventions
200 mg tablet of PG-116800 (given as PG-530742)twice a day for 90 days
placebo tablet, twice a day for 90 days

Outcome results
Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume Index (LVEDVi in mL/m2) at Day 90 Post Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Mean change of left ventricular end diastolic volume index (mL/m2) as evaluated via ventricular end-diastolic volume index augmentation 90 days post Myocardial Infarction (MI)
Time frame: 90 days
Population: A patient was considered evaluable for the primary efficacy assessment if data were complete for at least the baseline and Day 90 visit (i.e., no data were imputed for the primary endpoint).
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Placebo | Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume Index (LVEDVi in mL/m2) at Day 90 Post Myocardial Infarction (MI) | 5.48 mL/m2 | Standard Error 1.41 |
| PG-116800 Tablet | Change From Baseline in Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume Index (LVEDVi in mL/m2) at Day 90 Post Myocardial Infarction (MI) | 5.09 mL/m2 | Standard Error 1.45 |
