Therapeutic peptides used in clinical trials mentioned in this review.

Peptides Clinical trial Administration Nb of patients Results References
Elamipretide EMBRACE 0.05 mg/kg/h, between 60–15 min before PCI and for 1 h following reperfusion 297 no IS reduction (CK-MB
quantification)
(97)
Cyclosporine A / 2.5 mg/kg, catheter in the antecubital vein, <10 min before direct stenting 57 IS reduction (98)
CIRCUS 2.5 mg/kg, i.v., 12 h within symptom onset 970 not better than placebo (99)
CYCLE 2.5 mg/kg, i.v., 6 h within symptom onset 410 no effect on ST-segment resolution or
hs-cTnT, no improved clinical
outcomes or LV remodeling up to 6
months
(100)
CYRUS 2.5 mg/kg, i.v., asap after the onset of ACLS 6,758 do not prevent early multiple organ
failure
(101)
Carperitine / 0.085 μg/kg/min i.v. for 65 h 3,777 better outcome (102)
J-WIND 0.025 μg/kg/min i.v. for 3 days 1,216 Reduced IS, increased LV EF, decreased
reperfusion injury, severe hypotension
(103)
AVCMA 0.0125–0.025 mg/kg i.v. 111 higher plasma BNP level, reduced blood
pressure, hypotension
(104)
Nesiritide / 0.01–0.03 μg/kg 862 Increased risk of death after treatment (105)
/ ≤ 0.03 g/kg/min i.v. 1,269 Increased renal disfunction (106)
Exenatide / 25 μg/250 mL i.v. 15 min before intervention and maintained 6 h 172 Reduced IS, larger salvage index (107)
/ 20 μg during PCI and 10 μg twice daily during 48 h 58 Reduced IS, improved LV function (108)
/ 10 μg/h 30 min and 0.84 μg/h 72 h 191 No benefit (109)
COMBAT-MI 18 μg/180 mL i.v. 15 min before intervention and maintained 6 h combined with RIC procedure 222 No benefit (110)

i.v, intra venous injection; IS, infarct size; LV, left ventricle; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; negative outcomes of clinical trials were highlighted in bold.
