RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tocilizumab improves myocardial salvage index (MSI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but its mechanisms of action are unclear. Here, we explored how cytokines were affected by tocilizumab and their correlations with neutrophils, C-reactive protein (CRP), troponin T, MSI and infarct size. METHODS: STEMI patients were randomised to receive a single dose of 280 mg tocilizumab (n=101) or placebo (n=98) before percutaneous coronary intervention. Blood samples were collected before infusion of tocilizumab or placebo at baseline, during follow-up at 24-36, 72-168 hours, 3 and 6 months. 27 cytokines were analysed using a multiplex cytokine assay. Cardiac MRI was performed during hospitalisation and 6 months. RESULTS: Repeated measures analysis of variance showed significant (p<0.001) between-group difference in changes for IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1ra due to an increase in the tocilizumab group during hospitalisation. IL-6 and IL-8 correlated to neutrophils in the placebo group (r=0.73, 0.68, respectively), which was attenuated in the tocilizumab group (r=0.28, 0.27, respectively). A similar pattern was seen for MSI and IL-6 and IL-8 in the placebo group (r=-0.29, -0.25, respectively) in patients presenting ≤3 hours from symptom onset, which was attenuated in the tocilizumab group (r=-0.09,-0.14, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Tocilizumab increases IL-6, IL-8 and IL-1ra in STEMI. IL-6 and IL-8 show correlations to neutrophils/CRP and markers of cardiac injury in the placebo group that was attenuated in the tocilizumab group. This may suggest a beneficial effect of tocilizumab on the ischaemia-reperfusion injury in STEMI patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03004703.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We recently showed that interleukin (IL)-6 inhibition by tocilizumab improves myocardial salvage in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the mechanisms for this effect are not clear. METHODS: In this exploratory sub-study of the ASSAIL-MI trial, we examined leukocyte differential counts and their relation to myocardial salvage and peak troponin T (TnT) in STEMI patients randomised to tocilizumab (n = 101) or placebo (n = 98). We performed RNA-sequencing on whole blood (n = 40) and T cells (n = 20). B and T cell subpopulations were examined by flow cytometry (n = 69). FINDINGS: (i) STEMI patients had higher neutrophil counts at hospitalisation compared with stable angina patients. (ii) After percutaneous coronary intervention there was a gradual decline in neutrophils, which was significantly more pronounced in the tocilizumab group. (iii) The decrease in neutrophils in the tocilizumab group was associated with improved myocardial salvage and lower peak TnT. (iv) RNA-sequencing suggested that neutrophil function was also attenuated by tocilizumab. (v) B and T cell sub-populations changed only minimally after STEMI with minor effects of tocilizumab, supported as well by RNA-sequencing analyses of T cells. (vi) However, a low CD8+ count was associated with improved myocardial salvage in patients admitted to the hospital > 3 h after symptom onset. INTERPRETATION: Tocilizumab induced a rapid reduction in neutrophils and seemed to attenuate neutrophil function in STEMI patients potentially related to the beneficial effects of tocilizumab on myocardial salvage.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Prompt myocardial revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces infarct size and improves outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, as much as 50% of the loss of viable myocardium may be attributed to the reperfusion injury and the associated inflammatory response. OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate the effect of the interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor tocilizumab on myocardial salvage in acute STEMI. METHODS: The ASSAIL-MI trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted at 3 high-volume PCI centers in Norway. Patients admitted with STEMI within 6 h of symptom onset were eligible. Consenting patients were randomized in a 1:1 fashion to promptly receive a single infusion of 280 mg tocilizumab or placebo. The primary endpoint was the myocardial salvage index as measured by magnetic resonance imaging after 3 to 7 days. RESULTS: We randomized 101 patients to tocilizumab and 98 patients to placebo. The myocardial salvage index was larger in the tocilizumab group than in the placebo group (adjusted between-group difference 5.6 [95% confidence interval: 0.2 to 11.3] percentage points, p = 0.04). Microvascular obstruction was less extensive in the tocilizumab arm, but there was no significant difference in the final infarct size between the tocilizumab arm and the placebo arm (7.2% vs. 9.1% of myocardial volume, p = 0.08). Adverse events were evenly distributed across the treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS: Tocilizumab increased myocardial salvage in patients with acute STEMI.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The ß-1 adrenergic receptor blocker metoprolol is primarily metabolized by the polymorphic enzyme cytochrome P 450 2D6 (CYP2D6), an enzyme with substantial genetic heterogeneity. Our purpose was to investigate the impact of CYP2D6 metabolism on clinical effects and tolerability of metoprolol in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS: We included 136 patients with MI discharged on treatment with metoprolol with a recommendation to the general practitioner (GP) to increase the metoprolol dose up to 200 mg/day within 2 months if possible. At follow-up, metoprolol dosage after up-titration, metoprolol steady-state trough plasma concentrations, hemodynamic parameters, potential metoprolol-induced adverse drug reactions and number of visits to the GP were measured. CYP2D6 genotyping including the reduced-function variant alleles CYP2D6*9, CYP2D6*10 and CYP2D6*41 was performed after end of follow-up. RESULTS: According to the genotype-defined CYP2D6 phenotypes, 30% of the patients were metoprolol extensive metabolizers (EMs), 55% intermediate metabolizers (IMs) and 13% poor metabolizers (PMs; carriers of non-coding and reduced-function variant included). Dose-adjusted metoprolol trough concentrations were significantly higher in IM (2-fold) and PM (6.2-fold) groups vs. the EM group (p < 0.001). Only 35% of patients in the PM group achieved the primary end point, i.e. reaching at least 85% of the expected maximum heart rate (HR) during exercise, compared with 78% in the EM group (p < 0.01), and maximum observed HR at exercise was significantly lower in the PM group vs. the EM group (129 ± 5 vs. 142 ± 2 bpm, p < 0.007). In contrast, metoprolol maintenance dose, blood pressure, exercise capacity, number of visits at the GP and frequency and severity of self-reported potential metoprolol-related adverse drug reactions were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSION: Using a comprehensive CYP2D6 genotyping panel, the present study demonstrates a > 6-fold increase of dose-adjusted plasma metoprolol trough concentration in CYP2D6 PMs vs. EMs with a parallel lower increase in achieved maximum HR during exercise but without association between genotype and frequency or severity of self-reported adverse drug effects. This may indicate that CYP2D6 PMs potentially could benefit of the increased plasma concentration per dose in a naturalistic setting.

RESUMO

Introduction: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) may be involved in ischaemia-reperfusion injury and myocardial remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI). We have recently shown that IL-6 inhibition by tocilizumab attenuates systemic inflammation and troponin T-release in patients with acute non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI). Experimental studies suggest that IL-6 inhibition can limit infarct size through anti-inflammatory mechanisms, but this has not been tested in clinical studies. With the ASSessing the effect of Anti-IL-6 treatment in MI (ASSAIL-MI) trial, we aim to examine whether a single administration of the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab can increase myocardial salvage in patients with acute ST-elevation MI (STEMI). Methods and analysis: The ASSAIL-MI trial is a randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted at three high-volume percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) centres in Norway. 200 patients with first-time STEMI presenting within 6 hours of the onset of chest pain will be randomised to receive tocilizumab or matching placebo prior to PCI. The patients are followed-up for 6 months. The primary endpoint is the myocardial salvage index measured by cardiac MRI (CMR) 3-7 days after the intervention. Secondary endpoints include final infarct size measured by CMR and plasma markers of myocardial necrosis. Efficacy and safety assessments during follow-up include blood sampling, echocardiography and CMR. Ethics and dissemination: Based on previous experience the study is considered feasible and safe. If tocilizumab increases myocardial salvage, further endpoint-driven multicentre trials may be initiated. The ASSAIL-MI trial has the potential to change clinical practice in patients with STEMI.
