Functional Milk Supplementation to Reduce In-Stent Restenosis in STEMI Patients (SMASOEA Trial)
Sponsor: Raffaele Marfella
Summary
This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial will evaluate the effects of daily supplementation with functionalized bovine milk, enriched with bioactive peptides and optimized lipid profile, on coronary in-stent restenosis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either functionalized milk or an isocaloric non-functional milk for 12 months, in addition to standard secondary prevention care. The primary endpoint is the incidence of in-stent restenosis at 12 months, assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Secondary endpoints include MACE occurrence, metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers, oxidative stress markers, serum sirtuins, metabolomic profiles, and myocardial injury evaluated by cardiac positron emission tomography (PET). The study aims to determine whether functionalized milk can improve cardiovascular outcomes and modulate pathophysiological mechanisms after STEMI.
