About this study

Official title: Prolonged Enoxaparin in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Compared With Standard of Care Therapy - The PENNYWISE Feasibility Study

This is a feasibility study aiming to generate pilot data on safety and efficacy of a novel anticoagulant regimen (enoxaparin bolus and prolonged infusion) compared to the local standard-of-care in opiate-treated patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Read the detailed description

Delayed absorption of oral P2Y12 inhibitors in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) may increase the risk of stent thrombosis. Parenteral treatment is needed mitigate this risk.

We have recently shown a novel regimen of enoxaparin (bolus 0.75 mg/kg followed by an infusion of 0.75 mg/kg/6h) to provide consistent antithrombotic effects until the end of the infusion (1). We have also demonstrated the high prevalence of delayed platelet inhibition in opiate-treated patients (1).

This is a feasibility study for a larger randomised controlled trial (RCT). We aim to assess recruitment rate and collect pilot data on safety and efficacy. This will be a single-centre, open-label RCT comparing this novel regimen of enoxaparin to the local standard-of-care which usually consists of unfractionated heparin and a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor. The study population will be opiate-treated patients undergoing PPCI. Pre PPCI, patients will be allocated in 1:1 ratio using a simple randomisation method using sealed envelopes, to either enoxaparin 0.75 mg/kg bolus followed by 0.75 mg/kg infusion over 6 hours (n=50) or the standard-of-care of UFH and tirofiban (n=50).

What participants receive

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

  • EnoxaparinDrug

    Patients allocated to the experimental arm will receive a parenteral (IA/IV) bolus dose of enoxaparin (0.75 mg/kg) pre PPCI followed by an infusion of 0.75 mg/kg over a 6-hour period to be started as soon as possible when PPCI starts.

Standard TherapyNo interventionPatients randomised to the standard therapy arm will receive treatment as guided by the treating cardiologist in line with the local standard-of-care, usually consisting of UFH and a GPI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recruitment Rate

    Recruitment rate over the study period

    Measured: Through study completion, average 1 year

  2. Bleeding rates within 24 hours

    These rates will be compared between the two treatment groups. Trivial bleeding related to access site will be excluded. Details on bleeding events will be collected and subsequently classified according to BARC types 2-5

    Measured: Through study completion, average 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Acute stent thrombosis rate in each treatment arm

    Acute stent thrombosis rate in each treatment arm (within 24 hours). These rates will be compared between the two treatment groups.

    Measured: Through study completion, average 1 year

  2. Rates of ST-segment resolution in each treatment arm

    Comparison will be undertaken between presentation ECG and ECG performed 1 hour post PPCI. We will compare rates of ST segment resolution between the two treatment groups.

    Measured: Through study completion, average 1 year

  3. Rates of the composite outcomes

    Rates of the composite outcome of recurrent myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke or cardiovascular death within 30 days of STEMI. These rates will be compared between the two treatment groups.

    Measured: Through study completion, average 1 year

  4. 1-year mortality rates

    These will be compared between the two groups.

    Measured: Through study completion, average 1 year

Model description
Patients will be randomised (1:1) using an opaque sealed envelope methodology prior to coronary angiography. Patients allocated to the experimental arm will receive a parenteral (IA/IV) bolus dose of enoxaparin (0.75 mg/kg) pre PPCI followed by an infusion of 0.75 mg/kg over a 6-hour period to be started as soon as possible when PPCI starts. Patients randomised to the standard therapy arm will receive treatment as guided by the treating cardiologist in line with the local standard-of-care, usually consisting of UFH and a GPI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enoxaparin in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 15 Nov 2022. 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 Kingdom. 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 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?

Recruitment Rate (time frame: Through study completion, average 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03568838, 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 15 Nov 2022.
