About this study

Official title: Bleeding Complications in a Multicenter Registry of Patients Discharged With Diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The BleeMACS (Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome) registry is an international observational database of bleeding outcomes for patients who are discharged with diagnosis of ACS and underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), including myocardial infarction or unstable angina.

BleeMACS registry enrolls a total of more than 15,000 patients, including data from 16 hospitals in 11 countries: North America (Canada), South America (Brazil) Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Italy, Macedonia, Greece), and Asia (Japan and China).

The end-point of this study is to characterize patients at high risk of bleeding and to develop a risk score to accurately predict the risk of major bleeding within the first year after discharge from the hospital for an ACS.

Read the detailed description

In December 2014, given the actual need for rigorous multicenter clinical investigation to test the safety of antithrombotic and contemporary therapies in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), Dr. Sergio Raposeiras-Roubín and Dr. Emad Abu-Assi launched the BleeMACS (Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome) project.

Antithrombotic medication is commonly used for secondary prevention in patients following an ACS. This therapy, along with the invasive strategies, has been proved as effective, although it increases the risk of bleeding, which may counteract its benefits.

A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that the risk of death in patients with ACS is affected not only by recurrent ischemic events but also by major bleeding. Bleeding complications is the downside of antithrombotic therapy, as they were consistently associated with short- and long-term mortality, in addition to increase the risk of new thrombotic events particularly due to temporary or permanent modification/suspension of antithrombotic therapy, which is especially relevant in the first year after an ACS.

At present, there are several risk scores for predicting bleeding at short-term (during the hospitalization stage and at 30 days). However, at medium and long-term (i.e., ≤ 1 year), there is no available predicting systems to help clinicians quantify the bleeding risk of their patients. How could physicians predict the risk of bleeding after hospital discharge for ACS?

The purpose of this project was focused on helping clinicians to estimate the patient's baseline risk of major bleeding within the first year following an ACS. The investigators aim to identify the independent predictors of major bleeding at 1-year in order to develop a user-friendly bleeding risk score. The scoring system that the investigators intended to design using the data from the present registry would help clinicians in the decision-making process by identifying the optimal antithrombotic strategy, focusing closer attention to the patients with high risk of bleeding.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by University of Santiago de Compostela.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Serious bleeding (time frame: First year after discharge by acute coronary syndrome). 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 NCT02466854, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 9 Jun 2015.
