Brief Summary:
In the present study, we aim to investigate the effects of dobutamine infusion and/or a single intravenous (IV) dose of the IL-6 antagonist Tocilizumab administered after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presenting \< 24 hours from onset of chest pain and an intermediate to high risk of cardiogenic shock (CS) by assessment with the ORBI risk score (≥10 - not in overt shock at hospital admission).
Plasma concentrations of pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) as a proxy for development of cardiogenic shock (CS) and hemodynamic instability will be sampled for primary endpoint analysis.
Effects on clinical parameters, mortality, morbidity as well as specific indicators of inflammation, cardiac function, and infarct size will secondarily be assessed noninvasively.
The rationale behind the current study is that inflammatory and neurohormonal responses are associated with subclinical hemodynamic instability in patients with AMI with high risk of CS have worse outcomes. The potentially unstable condition may be targeted pharmacologically as an add-on to existing therapy. This is investigated in patients at elevated risk of CS by sampling biomarkers reflecting the inflammatory and neurohormonal responses, as well as determining effects on patient outcomes and infarct size.

Detailed Description:
The planned study is an investigator-initiated, randomized, double blinded clinical trial.
Consecutive patients at Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet admitted with AMI \< 24 hours from chest pain will be screened.
Patients eligible for trial inclusion will be randomized 2:2 to receive a continuous IV dobutamine infusion of 5 mcg/kg/minute versus placebo for 24 hours and to receive a single IV dose of tocilizumab (1-hour infusion) versus placebo administered after PCI.
Treatment with the investigational drug will be initiated as soon as possible but no later than 2 hours after transfer to the coronary care unit (CCU) and after informed consent. All included patients will follow usual treatment according to current guidelines.
The biomarker proBNP will be measured in blood samples drawn upon hospital admission in patients with ORBI risk score ≥10, and after 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours from admission.
After treatment termination, 2D-echocardiography will be performed acutely and within 2 days to evaluate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRi) with late gadolinium enhancement technique prior to hospital discharge as close to 48 hours post-MI and after 3 months after discharge will be performed to calculate area at risk and salvage index after AMI.Blood samples (40 mL) will be obtained and stored in a biobank for subsequent measurement of biomarkers reflecting inflammation, neurohormonal activation, neuronal injury, connective tissue function and other relevant pathophysiological processes.
These biomarkers will solely have research interest and no clinical implications. Furthermore, no genetic biomarkers and markers associated with malignancy development will be measured. Any leftover blood from the research biobank will be transferred to a biobank for future research and stored for up to 10 years solely for research purposes. After this period blood samples will be destroyed.
