Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Confirmed myocardial infarction (heart attack)

- Confirmed persistent cardiogenic shock

- Confirmed patency of the infarct related artery (heart attack artery has been opened
through the use of a blood clot dissolving drug or a balloon or angioplasty heart
procedure)

- Less than 24 hour duration of cardiogenic shock (the time since the heart attack
occurred and the artery was opened must be less than 24 hours)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Infection

- Other cause of shock (not heart attack)

- Shock due to heart valve disease

- Severe heart valve disease

- Right sided heart failure

- Shock due to arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm)

- Severe kidney disease

- Aortic dissection (tear in aorta)

- Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (severe lung inflammation)

- Severe brain damage

- Severe irreversible multi-system failure (failure of multiple body organs)

- Major chest or abdominal surgical procedure within 30 days except if prior CABG and
reocclusion occurs

- Primary pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs)

- Age younger than 18 years

- Requirement for emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or infarct-related
artery occlusion (heart attack artery completely blocked)

- Ongoing or recent participation in another clinical trial of an investigational drug

- Prior enrollment in this study or rapid resolution of cardiogenic shock before
treatment (shock gets better before study starts)

- Positive pregnancy test in women who are of childbearing potential
