Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include men and women aged 18 and older who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction and have undergone successful revascularization.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria or those who are not treated with SSO2 Therapy may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The SuperSaturated Oxygen Comprehensive Observational Registry (SSCORE) is designed to assess the effectiveness of SuperSaturated Oxygen (SSO2) Therapy compared to standard percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This observational study will collect real-world data on the impact of SSO2 Therapy on heart failure burden and healthcare resource utilization. By analyzing this data, the registry aims to provide insights into the clinical utility of SSO2 Therapy in routine practice.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance treatment options for patients with acute myocardial infarction, potentially reducing heart failure rates.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is observational, similar studies evaluating novel therapies in acute myocardial infarction have shown promising results, indicating potential for success.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Subjects screened for either the Prospective Control Cohort or the SSO2 Treated (On-Label) Cohorts must meet ALL the following baseline criteria:

Patients must be ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years of age

Presentation with AMI and successful revascularization of the infarct-related artery with PCI

The subject or their legally authorized representative has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has been provided and signed written informed consent, approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB)

Treatment with SSO2 Therapy will be up to the physician's discretion and the decision will be made prior to enrollment in the study. Any subject that is treated with SSO2 Therapy and meets the baseline criteria should be invited to participate in the study.

Subjects who are in the Prospective Control Cohort as well as subjects enrolled in the SSO2 Treated On-Label Cohort must meet these additional criteria:

The primary culprit lesion must be in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery

Successful primary PCI within 6 hours of symptom onset (defined as persistent symptoms that caused the patient to pursue medical care), as documented by \<50% diameter residual angiographic stenosis and Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Grades 2 or 3 flow in the target vessel

No major complications such as presence of post-PCI dissection or perforation, serious bleeding, presence of cardiogenic shock (including the use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) or mechanical circulatory support (MCS)) before the end of PCI procedure

Not pregnant or nursing

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria:

Life expectancy of less than 2 years

No access to medical records from either the index hospitalization or subsequent outpatient visits

Currently participating in an interventional drug or device trial

cMRI Sub-Study

At qualifying sites that can perform cMRI scans, subjects who meet the following inclusion and exclusion criteria will be considered for the cMRI sub-study.

cMRI Inclusion Criteria

Subjects will be included in the cMRI sub-study must meet all these criteria:

Meet all the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the overall study

Consent during index hospitalization to participate in the main study

cMRI Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded from the sub-study if they are contraindicated to MRI, including any of the following:

Non-MRI compatible cardiac pacemaker or implantable defibrillator; Non-MRI compatible aneurysm clip or other metallic implants; Neural Stimulator (i.e., TENS unit); Any implanted or magnetically activated device (insulin pump); Any type of non-MRI compatible ear implant; Metal shavings in the orbits; Any indwelling metallic foreign body, shrapnel, or bullet; Any condition contraindicating MRI, including claustrophobia; Inability to follow breath-hold instructions or to maintain a breath-hold for \>15 seconds; and Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to gadolinium contrast.
