About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Evaluating Clinical Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients Treated With an Abciximab Bolus Plus 12-Hour Infusion Given With Either Standard-Dose Weight-Adjusted Heparin or Low-Dose Weight-Adjusted Heparin

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, versus placebo in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention when administered in combination with two different heparin regimens. Please see attached results.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, in combination with two different heparin regimens in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: abciximab/low-dose weight-adjusted heparin, abciximab/standard-dose weight-adjusted heparin, or placebo/standard-dose weight-adjusted heparin. The primary outcomes of the study include the number of deaths, myocardial infarctions, or repeat revascularizations within 6 months, and the number of deaths, myocardial infarctions, or severe myocardial ischemia leading to urgent repeat percutaneous coronary intervention or urgent coronary artery bypass surgery within 30 days. Please see attached results.

Abciximab bolus plus 12-hour infusion with standard-dose weight-adjusted heparin; Abciximab bolus plus 12-hour infusion with low-dose weight-adjusted heparin; Placebo bolus plus 12-hour infusion with standard-dose weight-adjusted heparin

Being tested
Placebo, Heparin, Abciximab

What participants receive

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

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo is administered as bolus or 12 hour infusion prior to index percutaneous coronary intervention.

  • HeparinDrug

    Heparin is administered as either high dose (100 units/kg of body weight) or low dose (70 units/kg of body weight) boluses.

  • AbciximabDrug

    Abciximab is administered as bolus followed by 12 hour infusion prior to index percutaneous coronary intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Heparin and Abciximab in people with Angioplasty, Transluminal, Percutaneous Coronary, run by Centocor, Inc..

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 5 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 25 May 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. 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 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?

Death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization within 6 months (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 NCT00269880, which also lists 3 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 25 May 2015.
