Trial summary

The aim of our study was to demonstrate that, during a percutaneous coronary intervention, even smaller amounts of abciximab than standard dose, injected locally, could achieve a rapid thrombus resolution and clinical improvement without concomitant differences in hemorrhagic complications Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of our study was to demonstrate that, during a percutaneous coronary intervention, even smaller amounts of abciximab than standard dose, injected locally, could achieve a rapid thrombus resolution and clinical improvement without concomitant differences in hemorrhagic complications

Read the detailed description

Patients both with acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina are prone to extensive intracoronary thrombosis, leading to acute deterioration during percutaneous coronary intervention or thrombosis of the device despite therapy. Intracoronary use of abciximab has reported favourable results. We randomly assigned 84 patients to intracoronary half abciximab bolus (group A) and to standard regimen (group B).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing abciximab in people with Coronary Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by Azienda Sanitaria Ospedaliera at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 16 May 2006. 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 Italy. 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. 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.

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 16 May 2006.
