Who may be able to join

  • Patients with refractory angina as evidenced by at least one episode of ischemia (chest pain and/or ST-T changes) despite bed rest and at least 2 hours of treatment with oral or intravenous nitrates and intravenous heparin, or persistent newly developed negative T-waves occurring or continuing after at least 2 hours of treatment with oral or intravenous nitrates and intravenous heparin

About this study

Official title: Chimeric Anti-Platelet Therapy (Abciximab) in Unstable Angina Refractory to Standard Medical Therapy Trial (CAPTURE)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, versus placebo in patients with unstable angina who are not responding to standard medical therapy and who are eligible for coronary angioplasty.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, in patients with unstable angina who are not responding to standard medical therapy and who are eligible for coronary angioplasty. The primary outcomes of the study include any of the following within 30 days: the number of deaths from any cause, myocardial infarctions or the number of recurrent ischemic events requiring urgent intervention (such as a coronary artery bypass surgery, repeat coronary angioplasty, coronary stent placement, or intra-aortic balloon pump). Please see attached results.

Patients will be treated with abciximab or matching placebo.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Abciximab (c7E3 Fab)ExperimentalParticipants will receive 0.25 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight abciximab as bolus intravenous injection followed by continuous infusion of abciximab at rate of 10 microgram per minute for at least 18 hours but not longer than 26 hours.
Receives: Drug: Abciximab
PlaceboPlacebo comparatorParticipants will receive matching placebo as bolus IV injection followed by continuous infusion of matching placebo for at least 18 hours but no longer than 26 hours.
Receives: Drug: Placebo

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants who Died From Any Cause

    Measured: Up to 30 Days

  2. Number of Participant with any one of these: Myocardial Infraction, Recurrent Ischemic Events Requiring Urgent Intervention (Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, Repeat Coronary Angioplasty, Coronary Stent Placement, Intra-aortic Balloon Pump)

    Measured: Up to 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With New Ischemia

    Measured: From onset of infusion to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and from PTCA through 24 hours after PTCA

  2. Number of Participants With PTCA Complications

    Measured: From onset of infusion to PTCA, and from PTCA through 24 hours after PTCA

  3. Number of Participants With use of Thrombolytic Agents in the Catheterization

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Number of Participants With use of a Balloon Perfusion Catheter During Procedure

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Number of Particpants With Late Major Clinical Events

    Measured: From Day 30 up to 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Abciximab in people with Angina, Unstable and Angioplasty, Transluminal, Percutaneous Coronary, run by Centocor, 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 5 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 25 May 2015. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Number of Participants who Died From Any Cause (time frame: Up to 30 Days). 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 NCT00269906, 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 25 May 2015.
