About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Multicenter, Study To Evaluate The Bleeding Profile Of 2.5 Mg And 5.0 Mg BID Apixaban In Combination With Standard Therapy In Patients With Recent (≤7 Days) Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)

The purpose of this study is to assess the bleeding safety (the composite endpoint of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding) of 2 doses of apixaban (2.5 mg BID and 5.0 mg BID) or placebo in combination with standard therapy (aspirin and /or additional antiplatelet therapy) over a 24 week treatment period in selected subjects with recent (≤7 days) acute coronary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Due to withdraw of global phase 3 study (APPRAISE-2) for safety issue, B0661004 Data monitoring committee (DMC) also recommended terminating this study. Therefore, Pfizer decided to stop this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)-Defined Major and Clinically-relevant Non-major (CRNM) Bleeding Events Occurring During the Treatment Period.

    Major bleeding event was acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by decrease in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more over a 24-hour period, transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells, or bleeding that occurs in critical site (e.g., intracranial). Fatal bleeding was also major bleeding event. CRNM bleeding was acute or sub-acute clinically overt bleeding that did not satisfy the criteria for major bleeding and that led to either hospital admission for bleeding, physician guided medical or surgical treatment for bleeding or a change in antithrombotic therapy.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 24

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Had One or More All Bleeding Occurring During the Treatment Period.

    All bleeding included major bleeding (including fatal bleeding), clinically-relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding, and minor bleeding per international society on thrombosis and haemostasis (ISTH) definitions.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 24

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Had Major Bleeding Occurring During the Treatment Period Per International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Definitions.

    Major bleeding event was defined as an acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by decrease in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more over a 24-hour period, transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells, or bleeding that occured in critical site (e.g., intracranial). Fatal bleeding was also major bleeding event.

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 24

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Had Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI)-Defined Major Bleeding Occurring During the Treatment Period.

    TIMI major bleeding event was difined as an intracranial bleeding or clinically overt bleeding (including bleeding evident on imaging studies) associated with a >= 5 gm/dL fall in hemoglobin or a 15% fall in hematocrit from baseline, accounting for the effect of transfusions (1 unit packed red blood cells = 1 gm/dL hemoglobin = 3% hematocrit).

    Measured: Week 0 to Week 24

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of All-cause Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction, Unstable Angina and Stroke During 30 Days After Discontinuation of Therapy.

    Measured: For 30 days after Week 24 or the discontinuation of study drug

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of All-cause Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), Unstable Angina, and Non-hemorrhagic Stroke Occurring During the Intended Treatment Period.

    Intended treatment period for efficacy endpoints was defined as a period starting on the day of randomization and ending at the later date of either 2-days after the last dose of study drug or Day 168/Week 24 after randomization day (or the study termination date [19 November 2010, Japan time]).

    Measured: From the day of randomization to the later date of either 2-days after the last dose of study drug or Day 168/Week 24 after randomization day (or the study termination date [19 November 2010, Japan time])

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apixaban in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Pfizer at 18 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 29 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in Japan. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Aug 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)-Defined Major and Clinically-relevant Non-major (CRNM) Bleeding Events Occurring During the Treatment Period. (time frame: Week 0 to Week 24). 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 NCT00852397, 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 29 Aug 2013.
