A Safety and Efficacy Trial Evaluating the Use of Fondaparinux in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)(63133)(WITHDRAWN)

November 2, 2009 updated by: Schering-Plough
The purpose of this research study is to obtain experience in the use of fondaparinux (Arixtra) as compared to heparin when administered to patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI is a mechanical procedure used to widen the narrowing in a coronary artery in patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease. Fondaparinux and heparin are drugs that inhibit blood clotting.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion criteria

  • Scheduled for PCI, including PCI for non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS), primary PCI for ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) or elective PCI (with planned overnight stay in hospital).

Exclusion criteria:

  • Age < 21 years
  • Activated Clotting Time (ACT) > 200 seconds immediately prior to PCI
  • Use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in the previous 6 hours before PCI
  • Currently receiving an oral anticoagulant (OAC) agent with an INR > 1.8
  • Thrombolytic therapy for ST elevation MI in the previous 24 hours before PCI
  • Active internal bleeding or history of hemorrhagic diathesis
  • Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100 x 10-9/L)
