KAI-9803, a peptide compound, is intended for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. The primary efficacy endpoint of the trial will be the reduction of the combined incidence of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (heart attack) and non-fatal cerebral infarction (stroke), up to and including post-operative day 30. Previous studies have examined exposures to daily maximum temperatures and air pollutant concentrations during the warm summer months of July and August in Tokyo and their effect on the daily number of hospital emergency transports per million for heat stroke (1) and three cerebral vascular diseases: cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and cerebral ischemia (2). |
