ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00271401

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of intracoronary stenting with or without abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, and conventional coronary angioplasty with abciximab in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Angioplasty, Transluminal, Percutaneous Coronary	Drug: Abciximab/angioplasty, abciximab/stent, placebo/stent	Phase III

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Multicenter, Randomized Trial Evaluating 30-Day and 6-Month Clinical Outcomes With Three Different Treatment Strategies (Coronary Angioplasty + Abciximab, Intracoronary Stent + Abciximab, and Intracoronary Stent + Placebo) in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Primary Outcome Measures:

Composite of deaths, myocardial infarctions, or urgent repeat revascularizations within 30 days of randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Six-month clinical outcome; Six-month angiographic outcome as determined by quantitative coronary angiography in a subgroup of patients; Health economic analyses of medical costs, medical resource consumption, and cost effectiveness

Estimated Enrollment:

2400

Detailed Description:

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of intracoronary stenting with or without abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, and conventional coronary angioplasty with abciximab in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: coronary angioplasty plus abciximab, intracoronary stent plus abciximab, or intracoronary stent plus placebo. The primary measures of effectiveness will be a 30-day composite, clinical outcome as determined by the number of deaths, myocardial infarctions, or urgent repeat revascularizations. Please see attached results.

Patients will receive one of three different treatments: Coronary angioplasty plus abciximab; Intracoronary stent plus abciximab; or Intracoronary stent plus placebo.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients referred for elective or urgent percutaneous coronary intervention
