More Info on EMpoweRx Guest For the podcast Rosa Malloy-Post Hometown: Brooklyn, NY College: Fort Lewis College Durango, CO Medical school: University of Colorado What you love about living in/moving to Charlotte: The food and the trees. Coming from Denver it’s nice to have some greenery. The variety and concentration of good food is impressive, I haven’t had a bad meal yet. What you see yourself doing in 10 years: Who knows? I’m opened to exploring fellowship opportunities in toxicology or palliative care. I enjoy teaching so I see an academic career in my future. I’ll most likely be somewhere in the mountain west. Methylene blue History and Background First synthesized in 1876 by Heinrich Caro at BASF as a blue textile dye, originally named “methyl blue” In 1891, Paul Ehrlich discovered it could stain certain microorganisms and used it to differentiate bacterial species Used as antiseptic/antibacterial in late 1800s, including treating tropical diseases like malaria Approved by FDA in 1959 as a treatment for methemoglobinemia, a condition where hemoglobin is oxidized to the ferric (Fe3+) form, making it unable to carry oxygen. Doses of 1-2 mg/kg IV can reduce methoglobin levels by acting as an electron donor. Studied as potential treatment for hypotension starting in 1980s. Case reports showed benefit in refractory septic shock. Proposed as nitric oxide scavenger and vasopressor. Multiple human studies in 1990s looked at methylene blue for sepsis. Showed transient improvements in blood pressure but no mortality benefit. CLASS heterocyclic aromatic molecule MECHANISM OF ACTION two opposite actions on Hb (1) low concentrations: methylene blue -> NADPH-dependent reduction to leucomethylene blue (due to action of methaemoglobin reductase) -> reduces methaemoglobin -> Hb (2) high concentrations: methylene blue -> converts ferrous iron of reduced Hb to ferric ion -> forms methaemoglobin inhibits guanylate cyclase (which is stimulated by NO and other mediators), thus decreasing C-GMP and vascular smooth muscle relaxation MAO inhibition Dose Methaemoglobinaemia 1-2mg/kg IV over 5 minutes followed by saline flush; repeat at 30-60 min if MetHb levels not falling repeat dose every 6-8h when MetHb continues for days, e.g. dapsone toxicity Vasoplegia 1.5-2 mg/kg IV over 30-60min INDICATIONS methaemoglobinemia — symptomatic — asymptomatic with >20% MetHb, or >10% if risk factors such as anaemia or ischemic heart disease vasoplegic shock post cardiopulmonary bypass other possible roles in critical illness: hepatopulmonary syndrome, septic shock other uses have included use as an antimalarial agent, anti-cancer treatment, treatment of ifosfamide neurotoxicity, as a dye/stain (e.g. test for aspiration), priapism CONTRA-INDICATIONS G6PD deficiency (lack of NADPH prevents methylene blue from working and may lead to haemolysis) renal impairment methaemoglobin reductase deficiency nitrite-induced methaemoglobinaemia due to cyanide poisoning hypersensitivity ADVERSE EVENTS inability to monitor oxygen saturation by SpO2 or continuous central venous saturation monitoring non-specific symptoms: dizziness, headache, confusion, chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and vomitng local pain and irritation blue staining of mucous membrane may mimic cyanosis paradoxical methaemoglobinaemia due to direct oxidative effect on Hb (typically at very high doses > 7 mg/kg) acute haemolytic anemia in G6PD deficiency (typically doses >15mg/kg) anaphylaxis MAO inhibiton may contribute to serotonin toxicity or hypertensive crisis Key Clinical Studies Levin et al. 2004 RCT in post-CABG vasoplegic shock 28 patients, MB 2 mg/kg vs placebo Marked improvement in hemodynamics Mortality benefit – 0% vs 21% in placebo group (p=0.01) Kirov et al. 2001 RCT in established septic shock 20 patients, MB vs placebo Increased MAP, decreased vasopressor needs Porizka et al. 2020 retrospective study Looked at MAP increase ≥10% to define “responders” Improved survival in responders Franz et al. 2021 case series 11 patients with post-cardiotomy shock 82% rate of MB response based on 20% MAP increase Survival benefit in responders (92% vs 50%) The post Episode 110.

Title: STREAM-2: Half-Dose Tenecteplase or Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Older Patients With ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized, Open-Label Trial Background/Purpose: STEMI guidelines recommend pharmaco-invasive treatment if timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unavailable. In the STREAM-1 study (Strategic Reperfusion Early After Myocardial Infarction), a pharmaco-invasive strategy resulted in similar rates of death, shock, heart failure, or reinfarction, compared with primary PCI but an excess of ICH in patients ≥75 years of age prompted a protocol amendment that halved the dose of weight-adjusted bolus tenecteplase. After the adjustment, there was no subsequent ICH. STREAM-2 sought to investigate if half-dose tenecteplase is effective and safe in older patients with STEMI. Patient Population: (N=604) Included: Age ≥60 years* Onset of symptoms < 3 hours prior to randomisation 12-lead ECG indicative of an acute STEMI (ST-elevation will be measured from the J point; scale: 1 mm per 0.1 mV): ≥2 mm ST-elevation across 2 contiguous precordial leads (V1-V6) or leads I and aVL for a minimum combined total of 4 mm ST-elevation ≥2 mm ST-elevation in 2 contiguous inferior leads (II, III, aVF) for a minimum combined total of 4 mm ST-elevation Informed consent received *Original protocol included patients ≥70 years of age but slow recruitment (+analysis of bleed starting ~60) prompted an amendment to include patients ≥60 years of age. 2020 Armstrong et al, trial design amendment Performed an internal systematic review of the ASSENT trial series and their initial STREAM-1 trial à risk of major bleeding and/or ICH begins to increase around the age of 60 years Amendment made in 2018, ~1 year into enrollment that lasted thru 2022 Exclusion criteria: Expected PCI < 60 min from diagnosis (qualifying ECG) or inability to arrive at the catheterisation laboratory within 3 hours Previous CABG LBBB or ventricular pacing Cardiogenic shock – Killip Class 4 Wt < 55 kg (known or estimated) Uncontrolled HTN (sustained SBP >180 mmHg and/or DBP >110 mmHg) prior to randomisation Known prior stroke or TIA AC within 12 hours (UFH, enoxaparin, and/or bivalirudin or current use of OAC (i.e. warfarin or a NOACs) Active bleeding or known bleeding disorder/diathesis Known Hx of CNS damage (i.e. neoplasm, aneurysm, intracranial or spinal surgery) or recent trauma to the head or cranium (i.e. < 3 months) Major surgery, biopsy of a parenchymal organ, or significant trauma within the past 2 months (includes any trauma associated with the current MI) Clinical Dx associated with increased risk of bleeding including known active peptic ulceration and/or neoplasm with increased bleeding risk Known severe renal insufficiency Prolonged CPR(> 2 minutes) within the past 2 weeks Known acute pericarditis and/or subacute bacterial endocarditis Known acute pancreatitis or known severe hepatic dysfunction, including hepatic failure, cirrhosis, portal hypertension (oesophageal varices) and active hepatitis Dementia Previous enrollment in this study or Tx with an investigational drug/device under another study protocol in the past 7 days Known allergic reactions to tenecteplase, clopidogrel, enoxaparin and aspirin Inability to follow the protocol and comply with follow-up requirements or any other reason that the investigator feels would place the patient at increased risk if the investigational therapy is initiated.

P/w inferior STEMI (~60%), mostly Killip class I (no signs of congestion) & great BP (SBP 130s), TIMI Risk score 4 (corresponds to a ~20% risk of 14-day death, new MI, recurrent MI, or ischemia req’ing repeat intervention; max score is 7 = 41% risk) Efficacy: ST resolution → Pharmaco-invasive: 85.2% → median declined from 3.0 to 1.0 mm → pPCI: 78.4% *residual median sums of ST deviations were 4.5 versus 5.5 mm, respectively * TIMI flow grade 3 at last angiography ≈87% in both groups. / 53.8% after TNKase versus 18.9% before PCI Rescue PCI : 168 (42.2%) patients randomly assigned to a pharmaco-invasive strategy at median 142 min from randomization Of 401 pts given TNK, 345 (86%) went for angiography within 24 h (rescue or not), and most of them received stents (335 or 84% of total) Composite Clinical endpoint → Pharmaco-invasive: 12.8% (51/400) → pPCI: 13.3% (27/203) (RR,, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.62–1.48]) → 3/37 non-cardaic deaths in pharmaco-invasive group related to ICH Safety: ICH → Pharmaco-invasive: 6 (1.5%) 3 protocol violations (excess AC 2/6 and uncontrolled HTN [174/117] in 1/6) Therapeutic IV UFH during rescue PCI despite full-dose IV/SC LMWH This underscores the value of pharmacist involvement – authors commented “underscores the hazard…also reinforces the need for clear and timely communication regarding given treatments between various members of the health care team when rapid transitions in STEMI care unfold.” → 1ry PCI: 0 RR 6.61 (0.81-53.84) Non-ICH bleeding → Pharmaco-invasive: 5/400 (1.3%) → 1ry PCI: 2/203 (1.0%) RR 1.27, 95% CI 0.25-6.48 → no difference Stroke → Pharmaco-invasive: 9/400 (2.3%) → 3 fatal (0.75%), none in pts>75 y → 1ry PCI: 1/203 (0.5%) Pre-specified subgroup analysis Only found 1 significant difference in favor of pharmaco-invasive strategy, which was when pts were randomized to TNK within 60 minutes Aligns with the idea of a “golden hour” where lytic therapy is most efficacious within the 1 st 60 minutes Limitations: Not powered to show a difference in clinical events Possibility of heterogeneity between meds for pPCI in local guidelines Protocol violations could have influenced increased bleeding risk Unblinded intervention (for obvious reasons), but could have contributed to bias Conclusion: TNKase ½ dose led to comparable ECG changes as 1ry PCI in early presenting, older pts w/ STEMI Nick – One of my personal takeaways – this trial and the continued adoption of pharmaco-invasive strategies even in the most recent ACS guidelines (2023 Europeans) highlights the continued challenge in accessing timely PCI even in developed STEMI networks Based on 2010 census data and 2011 AHA data, ~85% of the US is within 1 hour of a PCI Center. However that leaves 50 million Americans (a decade ago) farther out Sadly, even when holding rural & urban locations as a constant , low-income areas and highly Hispanic communities had the largest delays to PCI Growth of PCI capable centers continues around resource-risk areas leading to a worsening imbalance despite continued growth in health-care infrastructure Higher ICH risk w/ TNKase Although that risk remained the same as the original STREAM-1 trial from a decade ago (1.5%), and 0 events have occurred in those 75 or older since the original protocol amendment in STREAM-1 for ½ dose TNK PCI is preferred but if unavailable, ½ dose pharmaco-invasive strategy is a reasonable alternative, provided that CI to fibrinolysis are observed and excess anticoagulation is avoided Do we feel comfortable broadening this rec to alteplase?
