Study Summary

This trial will test the safety of a new drug for people who have had a heart attack.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who've had a coronary stent placed and show less than 30% blockage after the procedure. Participants must be able to return for follow-ups, live within 90 miles of the study site, and give informed consent. It's not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with decision-making impairments, prisoners, non-English speakers, certain viral infections (like HIV), severe kidney/liver issues, low hemoglobin levels, recent drug use or major surgery/trauma.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests PEP—a biological drug made from blood components—to see if it can prevent heart damage when injected into patients who have received a coronary stent. PEP is mixed with heparinized saline before being administered intracoronarily.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed in the provided information but may include reactions related to immune response due to biological nature of PEP or complications associated with intracoronary infusion such as bleeding or clotting at the injection site.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a single dose (10 mL) of PEP at escalating concentrations of extracellular vesicles delivered at a single time point (after PCI).
Secondary outcome measures
Alloimmune Response
Ejection fraction
Infarction scar size

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: PEP in Coronary Stent ImplantationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and possible stent placement procedure will receive a one-time intracoronary infusion of PEP within 20 minutes after stent placement or post-dilation (whichever comes last).
