Montelukast for heart attack patients getting emergency artery opening
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if montelukast, a medicine used for asthma, can help people having a certain type of heart attack (anterior STEMI) recover better. You may qualify if you are having this heart attack and getting a procedure to open the artery within 12 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 74 years old.
- You are having a heart attack that affects the front part of your heart (anterior STEMI).
- You will be having an emergency procedure to open the blocked artery (primary PCI) within 12 hours of symptoms starting.
- You and your family agree to join the study and sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether montelukast (a medication that reduces inflammation) can limit heart damage when given immediately after a sudden heart attack. Researchers will measure inflammation markers and heart injury to see if this drug helps patients recover better.
This trial tests a heart medication (a cardio-selective beta-blocker) given during a heart attack to see if it reduces damage to the heart muscle. It might help people having their first heart attack who are treated quickly with angioplasty (a procedure to open blocked arteries).
This trial tests whether adding a low dose of a clot-busting medicine to the standard emergency procedure to open blocked heart arteries can improve outcomes for people having a heart attack. It aims to see if the combination is safe and more effective than the standard procedure alone.
This trial compares two ways to treat a major heart attack: using a drug-coated balloon or a drug-eluting stent. If you are having a heart attack and need emergency angioplasty, you may qualify if your artery blockages meet specific size limits and you have no bleeding risks or allergies to the medicines used.
This trial tests whether giving a combination of antioxidant vitamins (supplements) during emergency treatment for a first heart attack can reduce heart muscle damage and improve recovery. You might be eligible if you are having an emergency angioplasty for a recent heart attack.
This trial tests a new drug given shortly after a first heart attack to see if it can reduce heart damage when blood flow is restored. It is for patients having a specific type of heart attack (STEMI) and getting a procedure to open the blocked artery within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
