Experimental blood thinner tested in heart attack emergency
NCT ID NCT00546260
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an intravenous antiplatelet drug called PRT060128 in 70 people having a severe heart attack (STEMI). The goal was to see if giving the drug before emergency artery-opening treatment improved blood flow and was safe. The trial was terminated early, so the full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PRT060128 (antiplatelet drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a faster-acting antiplatelet option for heart attack patients undergoing emergency artery-opening procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, early-phase trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The drug may increase bleeding risk without clear benefit.
