Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: All

Age: 18+

Healthy Volunteers: Not accepted

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Admission for primary PCI for STEMI, with enrollment within 12 hours of onset of symptoms. STEMI will be defined as typical ECG changes (ST segment elevation ≥1mm in 2 or more limb leads, or ≥2mm in 2 or more precordial leads, or new onset LBBB) associated with acute chest pain or an elevation of cardiac enzymes.
  • Antegrade TIMI 0 or 1 prior to PCI in the infarct-related artery
  • Age ≥18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Symptomatic hypoglycemia (serum glucose <3.3 µmol/L; 60 mg/dl)
  • Diabetes mellitus requiring insulin therapy
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis
  • Coronary anatomy warranting emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery
  • Mechanical complication of STEMI (ventricular septal rupture, free wall rupture, acute severe mitral regurgitation)
  • Need for hemodialysis
  • Malignancy, HIV, or central nervous system disorder
  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation >15 min and compromised level of consciousness.
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Current participation in any research study involving investigational drugs or devices
  • Inability to give informed consent
  • Inability to safely undergo cMRI (presence of cardiac pacemaker, implanted cardiac defibrillator, aneurysm clips, carotid artery vascular clamp, neurostimulator, implanted drug infusion device, bone growth/fusion stimulator, cochlear, otologic, or ear implant, severe claustrophobia)
  • Women of childbearing potential who are known to be pregnant or lactating or who have a positive pregnancy test on admission
  • History of pancreatitis
  • Known end stage renal failure or known eGFR <30 mL/min
  • Currently taking exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza), or any other GLP-1 agonist

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Exenatide

o Exenatide at a dose of 1.5 µg IV over 30 min followed by 1.2 µg/hr IV for 1.5 h (Rate1), followed by 1.9 µg/hr IV\* for 22 h (Rate 2)

\*Once the creatinine clearance is available, if the value is <60 mL/min, the rate at 2 hours will be maintained at Rate 1 for the duration of the infusion. If the value becomes available after the 2-hour point, and the rate has already been changed to Rate 2, the infusion will be titrated back down to Rate 1 if the creatinine clearance is <60 mL/min.

If the creatinine clearance is <30 mL/min, the infusion will be discontinued and the patient will otherwise continue with all study procedures.

A bolus administration of study medication is initiated preferably prior to reperfusion, or, if not possible, up to 30 minutes after the start of reperfusion to avoid delays in door-to-door balloon times.

placebo comparator: Placebo

o Placebo bolus over 30 min followed by placebo infusion at 'Rate 1' for 1.5 h, followed by 'Rate 2' for 22 hours\*.

Interventions

Exenatide

Intravenous bolus and 24-hour infusion of exenatide

Placebo

Intravenous bolus and 24-hour infusion of placebo

Primary outcome measure

  • Ratio of final infarct size at 3 months over area at risk at 72 hours post randomization (using cMRI) [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
