Full Dose Tenecteplase (TNK-tPA) Together With Heparin Sodium, Full Dose Tenecteplase With Enoxaparin, Half Dose Tenecteplase Together With Abciximab and Heparin Sodium in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) (ASSENT 3)

July 11, 2014 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

A Phase IIIb, Randomised, Open Label Trial With 3 Parallel Groups: Full Dose TNK-tPA Together With Heparin Sodium, Full Dose TNK-tPA Together With Enoxaparin, and Half Dose TNK-tPA Together With Abciximab and Heparin Sodium in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: ASSENT 3 (Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of New Thrombolytic Regimens)

The objective of ASSENT 3 was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of full dose tenecteplase with heparin sodium (group A), full dose tenecteplase combined with enoxaparin (group B) and half dose tenecteplase combined with abciximab and heparin sodium (group C).

Study Overview

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

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.
  • Phase 3

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

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Onset of symptoms of AMI within six hours prior to randomisation
  • A twelve-lead electrocardiogram with one of the following: ST-segment elevation ≥ 0.1 millivolt (mV) in two or more limb leads, or ≥ 0.2 mV in two or more contiguous precordial leads indicative of AMI, or left bundle-branch block
  • Age ≥ 18
  • Informed consent received

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Hypertension defined as blood pressure > 180/110 mm Hg (systolic BP >180 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP >110 mm Hg) on repeated measurements during current admission prior to randomization
  • Use of abciximab (ReoPro ®) or other glycoprotein-IIb/IIIa antagonists within the preceding 7 days
  • Major surgery, biopsy of a parenchymal organ, or significant trauma within 2 months
  • Any minor head trauma and any other trauma occurring after onset of the current myocardial infarction
  • Any known history of stroke or transient ischemic attack or dementia
  • Any known structural damage of the central nervous system
  • Prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation (>10 minutes) in the previous two weeks
  • Current oral anticoagulation
  • Standard unfractionated heparin (heparin sodium) >5000 IU or a subcutaneous dose within 6 hours of randomization of a therapeutic dose of any low molecular weight heparin

  • Known renal insufficiency (prior S-creatinine >2.5 mg% (>220 μmol/l) for men and >2.0 mg% (>175 μmol/l)) for women
  • Pregnancy or lactation, parturition within the previous 30 days. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test, or use a medically accepted method of birth control
  • Treatment with an investigational drug under another study protocol in the past 7 days
  • Previous enrollment in this study
  • Known sensitivity to TNK-tPA, tPA, abciximab, heparin or low molecular weight heparin
  • Any other condition that the investigator feels would place the patient at increased risk if the investigational therapy is initiated
  • Inability to follow protocol and comply with follow-up requirements

Up to 30 days after discharge from hospital
Composite endpoints: 30-day mortality or in-hospital reinfarction or in-hospital refractory ischemia

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2000

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
