Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
We aim to test patients stratified according to the operators usual practise of planned use or non use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists. For those patients in whom the operator would normally choose to use a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists, patients will be randomized to receive high-dose bolus tirofiban, double bolus eptifibatide or abciximab. Our aim is to compare the effects of downstream high-dose bolus tirofiban, double bolus eptifibatide and abciximab on the degree of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa platelet receptor inhibition, tissue level perfusion and cardiac endpoints in high risk acute coronary syndrome patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. Furthermore, patients given ticagrelor and prasugrel versus clopidogrel at the physician's disgression were compared in terms of bleeding events. DOSAGE/DOSAGE FORM, ROUTE, AND DOSE REGIMEN: Where randomized patients will be receive high dose bolus tirofiban (IV loading infusion of tirofiban 25 µg/kg per 3 minutes followed by an infusion of 0.15 µg/kg/min for 12 hours), eptifibatide (IV bolus of 180 µg/kg + second bolus 10 mins after first of 180 µg/kg, simultaneously with first bolus infusion of 2.0 µg/kg/min for 12 hours) or abciximab (0.25mg/kg bolus followed by an infusion of 0.125 µg/kg/min {maximum 10 µg/min} for 12 hours). Initial bolus doses will be administered immediately prior to PCI.

Key exclusion criteria

Patients with acute pulmonary edema (rales present over more than 50% of the lung fields) or patients with severe congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Class III or IV). Patients with cardiogenic shock will also be excluded.h. Patients with hemodynamically significant valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, or congenital heart disease.i.

Platelet count <150,000/mm3 (<150 X 10 9/L).3. PT > 1.3 x control4. k. Treatment with abciximab within the past 96 hours.l. Patients with heparin allergy/intolerance.m. Patients currently on warfarin therapy.n. Patients with a history of cancer not known to be disease free, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin.o. Patients with any other medical condition, which, in the investigator's opinion, makes survival for the duration of the study unlikely, or would otherwise interfere with optimal participation in the study (i.e. substance abuse) or produce a significant risk to the patient.p. Inability to give informed consent.
