Who may be able to join

  • Patients with coronary artery disease will be eligible for the study. Inclusion criteria are:
  • Patient is 21 years or older. Patient is scheduled to undergo low-medium risk percutaneous coronary intervention in native coronary vessels.
  • Patient self-reports that he/she has received aspirin ≥ 81 mg at least 4 hours prior to study screening.
  • Patient is defined as aspirin non-responsive based upon results of the VerifyNow™ Aspirin test, defined as an aspirin reaction units (ARU) > 475.
  • Patient is defined as clopidogrel non-responsive based upon the results of the VerifyNow P2Y12 test, defined as less than 20% inhibition.

  • Patient has unstable angina, defined as dynamic, ischemic ECG changes (ST-segment elevation, ST-segment depression, or T-wave inversion) at rest.
  • Patient has rest pain with left bundle branch block. Note: In a patient with rest pain and abnormal ECG that is believed to be non-acute (i.e., STTW abnormalities secondary to LVH, digoxin, or prior remote infarction), a second electrocardiogram 30 min apart is required to establish that these changes are non-dynamic and not indicative of active ischemia.

  • cilostazol (Pletal) Patient has received non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), or any steroidal drugs 24 hours prior to enrollment.
  • Patient has been diagnosed with any stroke within the prior 3 months. Patient has active bleeding or bleeding diathesis. Patient has experienced trauma or major surgery in the preceding month. Patient has severe, uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure of more than 180 mm Hg).
  • Patient's creatinine > 2.0 mg/dl prior to PCI. Patient has a hemoglobin level of less than 10.0 g per deciliter or a hematocrit below 30 percent.
  • Patient has a platelet count of less than 100,000 per cubic millimeter or more than 600,000 per cubic millimeter.
  • Of note, patients on chronic clopidogrel will only be eligible for VerifyNow P2Y12 testing. Clopidogrel non-responsiveness in this group will be defined as < 20% inhibition

About this study

Official title: Research Evaluation to Study Individuals Who Show Thromboxane Or P2Y12 Receptor Resistance

This study is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center study designed to compare differences in rates of myonecrosis (measured as an elevation of CK-MB ratio ≥ 2 times ULN) within 24 hours following low-medium risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in aspirin or clopidogrel non-responsive patients who are randomized to heparin with or without eptifibatide therapy during PCI. The primary objective of this study is to determine if the use of eptifibatide is associated with a significant difference in post-PCI myonecrosis (measured as an elevation of CK-MB ratio ≥ 2 times upper limit of normal [ULN]) within 24 hours of low-medium risk PCI in patients who are aspirin or non-responsive as determined by VerifyNow Aspirin and P2Y12 testing.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine if the use of eptifibatide is associated with a significant difference in post-PCI myonecrosis (measured as an elevation of CK-MB ratio ≥ 2 times upper limit of normal [ULN]) within 24 hours of low-medium risk PCI in patients who are aspirin or clopidogrel non-responsive as determined by VerifyNow Aspirin and P2Y12 testing.

Secondary study objectives will include an assessment of safety. These safety determinations will be determined by monitoring the rates of MACE (defined as death, MI, ischemic [non-hemorrhagic] stroke and urgent revascularization by repeat PCI or CABG), bleeding events, rate of bailout procedures performed, elevations of CK-MB ratio (in the range of 3 to 5 times ULN and greater than 5 times ULN) and elevations of troponin I.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center study designed to compare differences in rates of myonecrosis (measured as an elevation of CK-MB ratio ≥ 2 times ULN) within 24 hours following low-medium risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in aspirin or clopidogrel non-responsive patients who are randomized to heparin with or without eptifibatide therapy during PCI. All subjects must also be pretreated with clopidogrel (300-600 mg) at least 2 hours before PCI. Study subjects will be randomized to either eptifibatide and unfractionated heparin or unfractionated heparin and placebo. Study subject randomization in aspirin non-responsive patients will be stratified based upon clopidogrel responsiveness.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the incidence of myonecrosis, defined as an elevation in creatinine kinase - myocardial band (CK-MB) > 2 x IU/ml above the institution's upper limit of normal within 24 hours following low-medium risk PCI.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence of CK-MB elevation >3x ULN

  2. Incidence of CK-MB elevation to 3-5x ULN

  3. Incidence of CK-MB elevation >5x ULN

  4. Incidence of troponin I > 0.1ng/ml

  5. MACE rates reported at discharge, 30 days and 6 months. (MACE is defined as a composite endpoint of death, MI, ischemic (non-hemorrhagic) stroke, and urgent target vessel revascularization)

  6. Rate of bail-out use of eptifibatide/placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing eptifibatide in people with Angioplasty, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor support withdrawn). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary endpoint is the incidence of myonecrosis, defined as an elevation in creatinine kinase - myocardial band (CK-MB) > 2 x IU/ml above the institution's upper limit of normal within 24 hours following low-medium risk PCI.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Jul 2007.
