Mangafodipir as an Adjunct to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (MANAMI)

Mangafodipir as an Adjunct to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Myocardial Infarction (MANAMI)

The present feasibility study is designed to find out whether pre-treatment with the compound mangafodipir (PP-099) provides an additional reduction in myocardial infarct size in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Mangafodipir, manganese (Mn) dipyridoxyl diphosphate (MnDPDP) and its lipophile metabolite Mn dipyridoxyl diethylene diamide (MnPLED), are catalytic antioxidants and iron chelators. In preclinical studies these agents reduce oxidative stress induced injuries related to chemotherapy of cancer and to reperfusion/reoxygenation of ischemic/hypoxic myocardium. Accordingly, in an in vivo pig model of AMI metabolite MnPLED applied at end of ischemia and during reperfusion reduced myocardial infarct size by 55 %. Mangafodipir most likely activates salvage pathways and prevents lethal reperfusion injuries. Other advantages are that mangafodipir is already approved as a contrast agent for MRI of liver, and that the experience for more than a decade reveals a high safety with minor and tolerable side-effects. The present study will include 20 patients treated for their first documented AMI. They will after admission to hospital undergo primary PCI. Reopening of an occluded coronary artery will be preceded by iv. infusion of mangafodipir or placebo in two groups , each consisting of 10 patients. The primary endpoint will be release to plasma of commonly accepted biomarkers of myocardial injury (Troponin T and CK-MB) measured at admission and 6 hours after PCI. The secondary endpoints include the accumulated release of plasma biomarkers over 48 hours and direct measurement of the final myocardial infarct size at 6-10 weeks after PCI.

Treatment will be undertaken with a ready-to use investigative drug formulation identical to what is in diagnostic use as a contrast medium for MRI. Formulation content: MnDPDP 10 mmol/ml.

Administered dose: 2 µmol/kg b.w. Administration form: Ready-to-use formulation (solution). Mangafodipir or placebo (0.2 ml/kg b.w.) will be administered as an intravenous (iv.) infusion over 2-5 min prior to reopening of occluded coronary artery during PCI

Reduction of myocardial infarct size assessed by biomarker release to plasma and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart.
