Brief summary

Depite successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and standardized medical treatment, prognosis of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction patents are still a poor, with high morality and various complications such as heart failure. Roxadustat is a new drug targeting hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibition and has shown promising effect in reducing infarct size in pre-clinical studies. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early and short-term administration of roxadustat in the treatment of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Detailed description

This study is an open-label, paralleled, randomized controlled trial. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early and short-term administration of roxadustat in the treatment of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Interventions
