Overview

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients with STEMI who were to undergo PPCI were divided into PCSK9 inhibitor group (n=80) and conventional treatment group (n=80) using the interactive web response system (IWRS), at a 1:1 ratio. In the PCSK9 inhibitor group, a dose of PCSK9 inhibitor (alirocumab) was injected subcutaneously immediately after PPCI and was administered every two weeks thereafter for 3 months; the control group received conventional treatment. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were used to measure myocardial salvage index at 1 week after operation as primary endpoints. Eject fraction at 6 months after operation will also be measured by MRI as secondary endpoints. Serum TnI/T,CKMB levels were detected q8h for three times and and LDL-C levels were detected at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Blood inflammation indicators were detected before and 1 week after the operation, and 6 months after the operation.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
