About this study

Official title: A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Bivalirudin in the Management of Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary PCI (BIAMI)

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the benefit of bivalirudin in combination with clopidogrel with provisional GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor use, in reducing the bleeding complications associated with early invasive management of patients presenting with an ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and undergoing primary PCI, while providing similar rates of ischemic events when compared to published results of relevant trials.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Angiomax (bivalirudin) anticoagulant in people with Myocardial Infarction, run by The Medicines Company 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 5 inclusion and 20 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 Feb 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 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 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?

Reduction in bleeding complications. 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 9 Feb 2006.
