OPL-0301 for Heart Attack
(RESTORE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called OPL-0301 for individuals who have experienced a heart attack and now face issues with heart function. The goal is to determine if OPL-0301 is safe and effective compared to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine). Participants will receive one of two OPL-0301 doses or a placebo for 90 days. This trial may suit someone currently hospitalized due to a recent severe heart attack, with significantly elevated heart enzyme levels. As a Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial requires that you stop taking Sphingosine-1 Phosphate (S1P) modulators, which include medications like fingolimod, siponimod, ozanimod, and ponesimod. For other medications, the protocol does not specify, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that OPL-0301 is being tested for safety and effectiveness in people with heart issues after a heart attack. Although detailed safety information from earlier studies is not available, this treatment has entered a Phase 2 trial, indicating it passed initial safety tests in earlier trials.
Phase 2 trials assess a treatment's safety and effectiveness. At this stage, a treatment is generally considered safe enough for more participants, though some risks may still exist. Since no specific safety problems have been reported in the available sources, OPL-0301 appears well-tolerated so far. However, any new treatment can have side effects, so it's important to consider this when deciding to join a trial.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Researchers are excited about OPL-0301 because it offers a new approach for treating patients after a heart attack, or myocardial infarction. Unlike standard treatments like beta-blockers or ACE inhibitors, which primarily manage symptoms and prevent further heart damage, OPL-0301 may work by a different mechanism, possibly targeting underlying pathways involved in heart recovery. This could potentially enhance heart healing and improve long-term outcomes for patients. The trial is exploring two different doses, which might help determine the most effective way to utilize this promising new treatment.
What evidence suggests that OPL-0301 might be an effective treatment for post-MI left ventricular dysfunction?
Research has shown that OPL-0301 might aid heart attack patients by enhancing heart function and reducing heart damage. This trial will test various doses of OPL-0301, focusing on its effects on the S1P1 receptor, believed to protect the heart. Early results suggest that OPL-0301 could lead to less heart damage and improved heart function. Although further studies are necessary, this approach appears promising for those with heart issues following a heart attack.12467
