Myocardial salvage index
This will be assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) performed at 2-7 days post-PPCI by measuring MI size and the area at risk
Angiographic markers of successful reperfusion
ST-segment resolution 90 min post-PPCI, TIMI flow and frame-count post-PPCI, and TIMI blush grade

Serial platelet function testing will be performed with VerifyNow in a subset of 70 patients.
MACCE at 30 days, at 6 months, at 12 months, at 24 months, at 5 years and at 10 years
This will include all-cause death, hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF), stent thrombosis, ischemia-induced coronary revascularisation, re-infarction, and stroke. This data will be collected by telephone and reviewing medical notes at 30 days and at the time of the outpatient 6 month cardiac MR scan.
Incidence of definite stent thrombosis at 48 hours
This will be defined according to the criteria of the Academic Research Consortium, which was assessed, with group assignments concealed, at an angiographic core laboratory (Cardiovascular Research Foundation).
Quality of life questionnaire
The EuroQol EQ-5D Health-Related Quality of Life (EUROQOL) questionnaire (www.euroqol.org) will be used to assess patient quality of life post-CABG with or without valve surgery, at baseline (1 day post-PPCI), 30 days (by telephone), and 6 months (at time of outpatient CMR scan).
6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
Functional capacity of patients will be measured using the 6-Minute Walk Test
Subjective questionnaire
Subjective questionnaire relating to symptoms post angioplasty and physical activities will be assess at 30±7 days (by telephone), and at 6±1 months (at time of the outpatient CMR scan).
ALDH2 substudy
A saliva sample will be collected from a sub-group of subjects for determination of their ALDH2 genotype.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
There remains a clinical need to improve health outcomes in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) the leading cause of death and disability in Singapore and worldwide. One neglected therapeutic target is 'myocardial reperfusion injury' in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). This results in microvascular obstruction (MVO) and cardiomyocyte death and contributes upto 50% of the final myocardial infarct (MI) size. Cangrelor, a potent intravenous platelet P2Y12 inhibitor with rapid onset and offset of action, has been demonstrated in experimental animal studies to reduce MI size when administered prior to reperfusion. Whether Cangrelor given together with Ticagrelor would be more effective at reducing MI size in STEMI patients treated by PPCI is not known and is investigated in the Platelet Inhibition to Target Reperfusion Injury (PITRI) trial.
Detailed Description
The PITRI proof-of-concept clinical trial will randomise 210 STEMI patients to receive either Cangrelor (single intravenous bolus followed by a 120-minute infusion) or matching normal/saline placebo, initiated prior to PPCI on top of conventional oral dual antiplatelet therapy (Aspirin + Ticagrelor). The primary endpoint will be acute MI size by cardiac MRI at day 2-7. Secondary endpoints will include incidence and extent of MVO by cardiac MRI; and chronic MI size, left ventricular size and ejection fraction by cardiac MRI at 6 months.
