Brief summary

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia, using the ZOLL Proteus IVTM System, as an adjunctive therapy for patients presenting with acute anterior myocardial infarction (AMI) and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Detailed description

A multicenter, prospective, interventional, randomized-controlled trial. Randomization will be in a 1:1 ratio, Test Arm (PCI + Cooling) or Control Arm (PCI alone) in up to 468 randomized subjects (234 subjects in each arm). Endpoint: Relative reduction of 20% in mean anterior myocardial infarct size as determined by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (cMR) imaging at 4-6 days post infarct in the Test Arm (cooling + PCI) relative to the Control Arm (PCI only).

Outcome results

Primary

Per-patient Rate of Composite Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) in Randomized Subjects

The primary safety outcome is to compare the per-patient rate of composite Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) in the Test Arm (cooling + PCI) to the Control Arm (PCI only) at 30-Day follow-up to determine non-inferiority to the Control. Composite MACE is defined as Cardiac Death (CD), All Myocardial Re-Infarction (All MI) and Clinically-Indicated Target Vessel Revascularization (CI-TVR).

Time frame: 30 Days

Population: Per-protocol population. 16 Test Arm subjects were excluded from the analysis due to not meeting eligibility criteria, having a repeat MI before 4-6 day cMRI, or did not follow cooling per protocol.~4 Control Arm subjects were excluded from the analysis population due to not meeting eligibility criteria or having a repeat MI before 4-6 day cMRI.

The primary outcome is to compare the mean infarct size in the Test Arm (cooling + PCI) to the mean infarct size in the Control Arm (PCI only) at 4-6 days post infarct.

Time frame: 4-6 Days

Population: Per-protocol population with available infarct size. 19 Test Arm subjects were excluded from the analysis due to not meeting eligibility criteria, having a repeat MI before 4-6 day cMRI, unavailable cMRI, or did not follow cooling per protocol.~9 Control Arm subjects were excluded from the analysis population due to not meeting eligibility criteria, having a repeat MI before 4-6 day cMRI, or unavailable cMRI.
