An Efficacy and Safety Study for Rivaroxaban in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Acute Coronary Syndrome Myocardial Infarction Myocardial Ischemia Unstable Angina
Registration Number
CTRI/2011/08/001941
Lead Sponsor
Johnson Johnson Pharmaceutical Research Development LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether rivaroxaban in addition to standard care reduces the risk of the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome compared with placebo.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a serious and life threatening condition. Following an acute coronary syndrome event patients are at risk of important additional clinical events such as death, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Six months after patients present with an index event of ST-segment myocardial infarction, approximately 15% will either have died or had another episode of myocardial ischemia, and a similar situation exists for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction/unstable angina patients. This randomized; double-blind; placebo controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in addition to standard care in patients with a recent ACS. Patients will be given rivaroxaban (2.5 mg twice daily or 5 mg twice daily) or placebo (twice daily) in addition to standard care.

India: 1550 patients screened, 1469 patients randomized, FPI: 10-Mar-2009, First subject randomized: 17-Mar-2009, Last Patient Enroled : 24-Dec-2010, Last Patient Last Visit : 09-Sep-2011

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary efficacy endpoint is the composite of CV death, MI, or stroke.6-day screening phase,- treatment phase (consisting of double-blind treatment and follow-up) extending from Day 1 (baseline). - enrollment period estimated to last 27 months, the double-blind treatment phase will last for an additional 6 months, and the follow-up period will last 30 days, making the total study duration approximately 34 months. Study will end when at least 983 primary efficacy endpoints accrue across both strata, and at least 728 primary efficacy endpoints in Stratum 2
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The composite of all cause death, MI, or stroke. - Net clinical outcome, defined as the composite of CV death, MI, ischemic stroke, or TIMI major bleeding event not associated with CABG surgery - Assessments of the composite of CV death, MI, stroke, or severe recurrent ischemia requiring revascularization. - Assessments of the composite of CV death, MI, stroke, or severe recurrent ischemia leading to hospitalization.6-day screening phase,- treatment phase (consisting of double-blind treatment and follow-up) extending from Day 1 (baseline). - enrollment period estimated to last 27 months, the double-blind treatment phase will last for an additional 6 months, and the follow-up period will last 30 days, making the total study duration approximately 34 months. Study will end when at least 983 primary efficacy endpoints accrue across both strata, and at least 728 primary efficacy endpoints in Stratum 2- FPI: 28-Nov-2008, - LPI: 30-Jan-2011, - LPO: 27-Jun-2011
