"The ER-TIMI 19 trial is a multicenter, open-label study involving 20 geographically diverse emergency medical systems in North America. The primary endpoint is time saved with pre-hospital initiation of RETAVASE in fibrinolytic-eligible patients with ST elevation on a 12-lead ECG, transmitted to hospital-based medical control physicians. The study found that for patients receiving pre-hospital treatment with RETAVASE, the median time from EMS arrival to the first RETAVASE bolus was 31 minutes, compared with 64 minutes for those given RETAVASE at the hospital. The rapid pre-hospital administration of RETAVASE worked to stabilize heart-attack patients, with 29% already showing a greater than 50% resolution of their elevated ST segments, an electrocardiogram indicator of heart health, by the time they arrived at the emergency room. Complete ST-segment resolution (>70%) was achieved in 15 percent of pre-hospital-treated patients by emergency department arrival and 54 percent by 90 minutes after the first bolus of RETAVASE. To date, twelve (5.4%) deaths and two (0.9%) intracranial hemorrhages have occurred, rates that are consistent with other fibrinolytic trials."
