NCT ID NCT07586865
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a drug called NL005 in people who have had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI) and undergone emergency artery-opening treatment. The goal is to see if NL005 can reduce permanent heart muscle damage. Participants will receive either NL005 or a placebo daily for 7 days and be monitored for a year with scans and checkups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- recombinant human thymosin beta 4 (NL005)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a treatment that reduces permanent heart muscle damage after a severe heart attack, potentially improving recovery and lowering the risk of heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase IIc trial with only 189 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug is experimental, and its safety and effectiveness are not yet proven.
