Warfarin and Antiplatelet Vascular Evaluation
A Phase III Randomized Trial of Warfarin Plus Antiplatelet Therapy Versus Antiplatelet Therapy Alone in Patients With Peripheral Vascular Disease
研究概览
详细说明
Atherosclerosis is the underlying cause of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) of the lower extremities, and leads to intermittent claudication, leg ulceration and gangrene. More importantly, symptomatic PVD is an ominous sign that widespread atherosclerosis is present and patients with this condition suffer a threefold increase in myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and CV death. These CV events are a consequence of rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, which leads to platelet activation and thrombin generation, thrombus formation and occlusion of a critical blood vessel. Antiplatelet therapy has been clearly demonstrated to reduce major CV events. It is also reasonable to expect that this process may be further attenuated by the addition of an anti-thrombin agent (such as warfarin) in combination with antiplatelet agents.
WAVE is a large, international, multicentre, randomized clinical trial in high-risk PVD patients to evaluate the additional benefit of moderate intensity warfarin (target INR of 2.4-3.0) to antiplatelet therapy compared to antiplatelet therapy alone in reducing serious cardiovascular events.
There are currently 80 active centres following participants in Canada, Poland, Australia, Hungary, China, Ukraine, and the Netherlands. Following randomization to one of the two treatment groups, participants will require clinic or phone follow-up visits every 3 months for 2.5 or 3.5 years. For participants on warfarin, INRs will be measured monthly or more frequently if required. For participants who stop warfarin therapy prematurely, every attempt will be made to have them restart it

描述
Inclusion Criteria:
- Intermittent claudication with objective evidence of PVD (e.g. ankle-brachial index [ABI] < 0.90)
- Ischemic rest pain of the lower limbs
- Ischemic non-healing ulcers or focal gangrene
- Amputation for vascular causes
- Previous peripheral vascular revascularization (angioplasty or bypass surgery)
- Blue toe syndrome
- Other significant peripheral arterial disease (e.g. carotid stenosis)
- Vascular disease and evidence of asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease [PAD] (i.e. ABI < 0.90)
Exclusion Criteria:
Temporary:
Potential subjects will be temporarily excluded if they need to undergo:
- vascular diagnostic (angiography) or interventional procedures (arterial bypass graft surgery or angioplasty); or
- limb amputation for vascular insufficiency.
Permanent:
Subjects will be excluded for the following:
- active bleeding or high risk bleeding;
- clear indication for long-term warfarin use (i.e. atrial fibrillation);
- previous allergy or intolerance to warfarin;
- stroke in the last 6 months;
- renal failure requiring dialysis;
- known significant abdominal aortic or cerebral aneurysm;
- peripheral arterial aneurysms (iliac or femoral) without evidence of lower limb ischemia;
- significant liver disease (i.e. cirrhosis);
- cancer with a life expectancy < 6 months;
- anticipated non-adherence to warfarin;
- excessive alcohol use;
- pregnancy or planning to become pregnant; or
- failure to provide informed consent.
