Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators wish to examine whether a novel 'nanoparticle' of iron oxide, administered intravenously allows an area of heart muscle damage after heart attack to be visualised using a magnetic resonance scanner.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Using ferumoxtran (Feraheme) as a USPIO contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging at 3 Tesla, we aim to conduct the first clinical study to examine the utility of this novel contrast agent to image myocardial inflammation after myocardial infarction.

We will test the following hypotheses in patients who have suffered recent acute myocardial infarction.

1. Intravenous injection of ferumoxytol accumulates at the site of myocardial infarction and this can be visualised by magnetic resonance imaging.
2. The spatial extent of the MRI signal change evoked by ferumoxytol in the myocardium is proportional to the volume of infarcted myocardium (as assessed by a gadolinium late-enhancement study).
3. Myocardial MRI signal change evoked by ferumoxytol is positively correlated with blood markers of systemic inflammation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ferumoxytol

Patients will be administered intravenous ferumoxytol 1 - 3 days following myocardial infarction after baseline cardiac magnetic resonance scanning.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ferumoxytol

Intervention Type OTHER

One dose of intravenous ferumoxytol (4 mgFe/kg body weight at a rate of up to 1 mL/sec)

Control

Subjects who have suffered myocardial infarction will undergo cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at the same time points as those in the 'ferumoxytol' arm but will not receive ferumoxytol or placebo.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
