Study of ARC1779 in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (vITAL-1)
ISRCTN ISRCTN01837376
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00507338
Public title Study of ARC1779 in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (vITAL-1)
Scientific title A phase 2 study of an aptameric von Willebrand Factor antagonist, ARC1779, in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Acronym vITAL-1
Serial number at source ARC1779-003
Study hypothesis Adjunctive anti-thrombotic therapy for PCI of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) may be improved by incorporation of a novel anti-platelet therapeutic principle, von Willebrand Factor antagonism. ARC1779 is a therapeutic oligonucleotide ("aptamer") which blocks the binding of the A1 domain of vWF to the platelet GP1b receptor, and thereby modulates platelet adhesion, activation, and aggregation under the high shear conditions of coronary arterial stenosis and plaque rupture. This study is intended to provide dose-ranging and clinical proof of concept for ARC1779 in a primary PCI population.
