Efficacy and safety of a bolus of half-dose recombinant staphylokinase (r-SAK) prior to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in ST-elevation myocardial infarction: Rationale and design of the OPTIMA-6 trial

Am Heart JPublished Rationale and design of a randomised controlled trial

Study context

Population
Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) ≤12 h from symptom onset, expected primary PCI within 120 min but >30 min; all on aspirin, ticagrelor and loading-dose heparinplanned enrolment
Participants
2,260 participants
Planned comparison
Half-dose r-SAK bolus vs placebo before primary PCI
Primary endpoint
Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE):
  • All-cause death
  • Reinfarction
  • Unplanned target vessel revascularization
  • HF or cardiogenic shock
  • Major ventricular arrhythmia
Follow-up
90 days
Methodological detailsmulticentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, superiority, Enrolment began April 2023; ≈50 centres, Primary safety endpoint: major bleeding (BARC 3, 5) within 90 days
