NCT ID NCT07361783
First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looks at giving a blood thinner called heparin to heart attack patients as soon as they see a doctor, rather than waiting until they are in the procedure room. About 6,294 participants will be randomly assigned to early or standard timing. The goal is to see if early treatment reduces death, another heart attack, or stroke within 30 days.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
unfractionated heparin (a blood thinner)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that giving heparin earlier during a heart attack improves survival and reduces complications.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial, but it tests a timing change for an existing drug, not a new treatment. The benefit may be small, and there is a risk of bleeding from the blood thinner.
