Angiomax® or Unfractionated Heparin for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Stopped early · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Coronary Artery Disease

In brief

The objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Angiomax® (bivalirudin) versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients presenting with stable angina or silent ischemia (positive stress test without chest pain) that undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary endpoint of the study will be major and minor bleeding events, defined by the REPLACE-2 trial definition, during the index hospitalization and up to 30 days post discharge.
