About this study
Official title: Bivalirudin vs Heparin in Elderly Patients With Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The study is an investigator-sponsored, prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to compare efficacy and safety between bivalirudin and heparin in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing emergency PCI.
- Conditions
- STEMI, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Aged
- Being tested
- Bivalirudin, Heparin
- Keywords
- Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), bivalirudin
- Medical subject headings
- ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Cardiovascular Diseases
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
BivalirudinDrug
Patients would be given anticoagulant therapy with bivalirudin in acute STEMI during emergency PCI operation.
HeparinDrug
heparin with or without gpi during emergency PCI.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Bivalirudin | Experimental | Bivalirudin will be given as a bolus of 0.75 mg/kg followed by infusion of 1.75 mg/kg/h during the PCI procedure and for at least 30 minutes but no more than 4 hours afterwards. Following this mandatory infusion,a reduced-dose infusion (0.2 mg/kg/h) for up to 20 hours could be administered at physician discretion. An additional bivalirudin bolus of 0.3 mg/kg was given if the activated clotting time 5 minutes after the initial bolus was less than 225 seconds. Receives: Drug: Bivalirudin |
| Heparin | Active comparator | Heparin will be administered at a dose of 70 to 100 units per kilogram in patients not receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and at a dose of 50 to 70 units per kilogram in patients receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Subsequent adjustment of the heparin dose on the basis of the activated clotting time will be left to the discretion of the treating physicians. Receives: Drug: Heparin |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Bivalirudin and Heparin in people with STEMI and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University at 1 site in China.
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 4 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2019. 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 China. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Rongchong Huang, M.D. (+86 411 83635963 ext. 7127, rchuang@dlmedu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Major adverse cardiac events (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT03882775, 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 20 Mar 2019.
