Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy Of Eptifibatide Compared To Abciximab In Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) For Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) (NCT NCT00426751)

NCT ID: NCT00426751

Last Updated: 2012-11-27

Results Overview

Sum STR was calculated as the difference between baseline (ECG I) and ECG III. The sum STR is the segment elevation resolution from all ECG leads associated with the infarct location. ST resolution, a method used to evaluate myocardial reperfusion, was expressed as a percentage of the baseline value (Complete: ≥ 70% resolution).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (ECG I) and 60 min +/- 15 min after PCI (ECG III)

Population: Per Protocol (PP) Population: All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug, who had data that were fully evaluable for the primary endpoint, and who did not show any major protocol violation.

Sum STR was calculated as the difference between baseline (ECG I) and ECG III. The sum STR is the segment elevation resolution from all ECG leads associated with the infarct location. ST resolution, a method used to evaluate myocardial reperfusion, was expressed as a percentage of the baseline value (Complete: ≥ 70% resolution).

The number of participants with the indicated myocardial blush grade (TMPG), used to assess the myocardial reperfusion in the infarcted myocardium following PCI (as assessed by the core angiography laboratory), was measured. Blush grades: 0 = failure of dye to enter the microvasculature; 1 = dye slowly enters but fails to exit the microvasculature; 2 = delayed entry and exit of dye from the microvasculature; 3: normal entry and exit of dye from the microvasculature. Blush that is of only mild intensity throughout the washout phase but fades minimally is also classified as grade 3.
