Trial summary

The primary purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin to eptifibatide (with or without unfractionated heparin or enoxaparin)given to subjects at high risk for heart attack and other cardiovascular complications who will undergo surgery to open up blocked arteries in the heart.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Relative Protection Against Post-PCI Microvascular Dysfunction and Post-PCI Ischemia Among Anti-Platelet and Anti-Thrombotic Agents

The primary purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin to eptifibatide (with or without unfractionated heparin or enoxaparin)given to subjects at high risk for heart attack and other cardiovascular complications who will undergo surgery to open up blocked arteries in the heart.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)Procedure or surgery

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy: Improved Coronary Flow Reserve

  2. Safety: TIMI major hemorrhage within 48 hours after randomizing in the trial or hosptial discharge, which ever occurs first.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duration of ischemia on continuous EKG monigoring through 24 hours after surgery.

  2. Composite death, heart attack and any occurance of ischemia based on the Holter monitor recording within 48 hours after randomizing into the trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in people with Unstable Angina, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy: Improved Coronary Flow Reserve. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00250471, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Nov 2005.
