Piperine, a compound from black pepper, can improve curcumin absorption. By combining the two, we hope to maximize their potential benefits.\n\nThe study will measure markers of inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hsCRP) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA) at three time points: before treatment, shortly after the PPCI procedure, and after 28 days of supplementation.\n\nThe main question is whether curcumin-piperine supplementation can provide additional protection against inflammation and oxidative stress compared to a placebo, potentially supporting recovery and reducing the risk of future heart problems.', 'detailedDescription': "This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigates the effects of combined curcumin and piperine supplementation on systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Curcumin, the principal curcuminoid derived from Curcuma xanthorrhiza or Curcuma longa, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in preclinical and clinical studies. However, its oral bioavailability is limited due to poor absorption and rapid metabolism. Piperine, an alkaloid from Piper nigrum, enhances curcumin's bioavailability through inhibition of hepatic and intestinal glucuronidation.\n\nParticipants are randomized to receive either curcumin-piperine supplementation (390 mg curcumin + 20 mg piperine daily) or matched placebo for 28 consecutive days post-PPCI. Biomarkers of inflammation (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hsCRP) and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, MDA) are assessed at three predefined time points: baseline (pre-intervention), 48-72 hours after PPCI, and at day 28 post-supplementation.\n\nThe primary objective is to determine whether curcumin-piperine supplementation significantly attenuates the rise in hsCRP and MDA levels compared to placebo. Secondary objectives include evaluating the temporal pattern of biomarker changes and assessing the tolerability and safety profile of the supplementation in the acute and subacute phases post-STEMI. The findings may provide evidence for adjunctive nutraceutical therapy to improve post-MI recovery by targeting inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults aged 18 to 80 years.\n* Confirmed diagnosis of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
