About this study

This is a prospective, open label, randomized trial of 100 patients who present to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with an ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction for primary PCI. Patients may receive up-front unfractionated heparin or low molecular weight heparin, but not glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors or thrombolytics. Patients will be consented prior to the diagnostic catheterization and will be randomized once the patient is deemed amenable to PCI to receive eptifibatide or no eptifibatide just prior to or at the time of primary angioplasty. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion. All patients will be assessed for the primary endpoint of ST resolution at 60 minutes post PCI and followed throughout the duration of the hospitalization and up to 30 days for secondary endpoint evaluation.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adjunctive eptifibatide during primary PCI in patients presenting to the catheterization laboratory within 12 hours of symptom onset. The primary objective of this randomized clinical trial is to examine the safety and effectiveness of the addition of eptifibatide therapy immediately prior to or at the time of PCI in patients presenting with a STEMI for primary PCI who have not received up-front glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy. The secondary objective of this clinical trial is to assess effectiveness of adjunct eptifibatide therapy with respect to the following endpoints:

  • Complete ST resolution (defined above) at 90 and 180 minutes post primary PCI
  • TIMI flow at the end of the PCI (as reported by the investigator at the end of the procedure)
  • MACE evaluation at discharge and 30 days post PCI (MACE defined as: death, reinfarction, and need for urgent ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization)
  • Stent thrombosis at discharge and 30 days
  • Major Bleed (Major Bleed defined as: TIMI Major Bleeding)
  • Minor Bleed (Minor Bleed defined as: TIMI Minor Bleeding)
  • ST segment resolution at 60, 90 and 180 minutes based on the additional measure in the Schroder's Index:
  • Partial resolution defined as 30-70% ST-segment resolution, and
  • No resolution defined as <30% ST-segment resolution.

What participants receive

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

  • eptifibitideDrug

    Also called Integrilin

    Patients will be randomized to eptifibatide or no eptifibatide. If randomized to eptifibatide: 180 mcg/kg Bolus; 2 mcg/kg/min infusion immediately prior to primary PCI or at the time of PCI and for 18 - 24 hours following the PCI Second 180 mcg/kg Bolus 10 min after the first

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint will be complete ST resolution 60 minutes following primary PCI where complete ST resolution is defined as ≥70% ST resolution compared to the qualifying ECG.

    Measured: In patient hopsitalization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Complete ST resolution (defined above) at 90 and 180 minutes following primary PCI; TIMI flow at the end of the PCI; and MACE evaluation at discharge and 30 days post PCI

    Measured: In-patient hospitalization and 30 days post discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing eptifibitide in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Medstar Health Research Institute 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 17 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 11 Aug 2014. 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 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary endpoint will be complete ST resolution 60 minutes following primary PCI where complete ST resolution is defined as ≥70% ST resolution compared to the qualifying ECG. (time frame: In patient hopsitalization). 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 11 Aug 2014.
