Could a single drug infusion limit permanent heart damage during a heart attack?
NCT ID NCT07502521
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called dexrazoxane, given through a vein, can reduce permanent heart muscle damage in people having a severe heart attack (STEMI). Fifty adults received either the drug or a placebo during their standard stent procedure. The goal was to see if the drug could limit bleeding and scarring in the heart, helping it pump better afterward.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria - 1. Adult (18 - 79 years). 2. First STEMI (EMS/ER ECG ST-elevation) with primary PCI planned. 3. Consent pathway available: Patient consent, Legally Acceptable Representative (LAR) 4. CMR likely be feasible (no known MRI-unsafe implant or absolute MRI prohibition) Exclusion Criteria - 1. History of PCI or CABG within 1 year 2. Known dialysis/ESRD 3. Known pre-existing LVEF \<40% from recent records 4. Known pregnancy or breastfeeding (history or clearly documented) 5. Current anthracycline chemotherapy or active chest radiation (per patient/chart). 6. On iron chelation now or documented iron-storage disease (hemochromatosis/thalassemia). 7. Concurrent trials: investigational drug or device use within 90 days. 8. Any clinically significant condition identified that would preclude safe peri-procedural administration of Dexrazoxane or completion of core protocol procedures.
