Brief summary

The study will evaluate the effect of BB3 to preserve myocardial (heart) tissue and function following myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Detailed description

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the mainstay for treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Whereas early recanalization undoubtedly salvages myocardial tissue, reperfusion following prolonged ischemia can also exacerbate injury. Infarct size needs to be limited, and the conditions favoring adaptive ventricular healing and remodeling optimized because in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who do not die of out-of-hospital arrhythmias, long-term prognosis is dependent on the amount of myocardium that is lost, and the outcome of ventricular remodeling. Angion Biomedical Corp. has identified BB3, a small molecule mimetic of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) whose activity is expected to preserve tissue viability and attenuate dysfunction in the setting of organ injury while obviating the logistical difficulties associated with gene or protein therapy. HGF/SF is a naturally occurring cell survival factor that holds significant therapeutic potential. BB3 has been shown to possess HGF/SF activities, including protection against heart injury following myocardial infarction. This study is designed to evaluate clinical efficacy of BB3 in patients presenting with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (A-STEMI) who undergo PCI.

Impaired hepatic function (ALT \> 2x upper limit of normal, or a total bilirubin greater than 1.5 x upper limit of normal). 11. Currently participating in or has participated in an investigational drug or medical device study within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to enrollment into this study 12. Have an active malignancy or history of solid, metastatic, or hematologic malignancy with the exception of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been removed 13. History of positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test 14. History of rheumatoid arthritis 15. History of proliferative retinopathy or laser surgery for retinopathy 16. Subjects who require cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) inhibitors, ciprofloxacin and/or fluvoxamine (Luvox®) 17. Subject has other medical illness or known history of substance abuse (alcohol, cocaine, heroin etc.) that may cause non-compliance with the protocol, confound the data interpretation or is associated with a limited life expectancy of less than 6 months, 18. Any significant medical condition which in the Investigator's opinion may interfere with the subject's optimal participation in the study; 19. Subject has a known hypersensitivity or allergy to stainless steel, nickel, cobalt chromium, nitinol, titanium or known hypersensitivity or allergy to contrast media (e.g. rash) that cannot effectively be controlled by premedication with steroids and/or diphenhydramine. Subjects with hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the components of the device (structural, drug or polymer components) and subjects with true prior anaphylaxis to contrast media should not be enrolled
