CYCLosporinE A in Reperfused Acute Myocardial Infarction

Summary

Infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). It has been reported that Cyclosporine A (CsA) administered immediately prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) significantly could reduce reperfusion injury and consequently infarct size in ST elevation MI (STEMI) patients. CYCLE trial is a multicenter, controlled, randomized open label study, with blind assessment of endpoint measures. The objective is to determine whether a single i.v. dose of CsA within 6 hour onset of symptoms of STEMI in 444 patients, improves outcomes after successful primary PCI, by reducing myocardial injury associated to reperfusion.
