A Study to Evaluate the Safety of Apixaban in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Japanese Patients

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Interventions
Other: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT00852397
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the bleeding safety (the composite endpoint of major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding) of 2 doses of apixaban (2.5 mg BID and 5.0 mg BID) or placebo in combination with standard therapy (aspirin and /or additional antiplatelet therapy) over a 24 week treatment period in selected subjects with recent (≤7 days) acute coronary syndrome.

Detailed Description

Due to withdraw of global phase 3 study (APPRAISE-2) for safety issue, B0661004 Data monitoring committee (DMC) also recommended terminating this study. Therefore, Pfizer decided to stop this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)-Defined Major and Clinically-relevant Non-major (CRNM) Bleeding Events Occurring During the Treatment Period.Week 0 to Week 24

Major bleeding event was acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by decrease in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more over a 24-hour period, transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells, or bleeding that occurs in critical site (e.g., intracranial). Fatal bleeding was also major bleeding event. CRNM bleeding was acute or sub-acute clinically overt bleeding that did not satisfy the criteria for major bleeding and that led to either hospital admission for bleeding, physician guided medical or surgical treatment for bleeding or a change in antithrombotic therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Had One or More All Bleeding Occurring During the Treatment Period.Week 0 to Week 24

All bleeding included major bleeding (including fatal bleeding), clinically-relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding, and minor bleeding per international society on thrombosis and haemostasis (ISTH) definitions.

Percentage of Participants Who Had Major Bleeding Occurring During the Treatment Period Per International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Definitions.Week 0 to Week 24

Major bleeding event was defined as an acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by decrease in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more over a 24-hour period, transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells, or bleeding that occured in critical site (e.g., intracranial). Fatal bleeding was also major bleeding event.

Percentage of Participants Who Had Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI)-Defined Major Bleeding Occurring During the Treatment Period.Week 0 to Week 24

TIMI major bleeding event was difined as an intracranial bleeding or clinically overt bleeding (including bleeding evident on imaging studies) associated with a \>= 5 gm/dL fall in hemoglobin or a 15% fall in hematocrit from baseline, accounting for the effect of transfusions (1 unit packed red blood cells = 1 gm/dL hemoglobin = 3% hematocrit).

Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of All-cause Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction, Unstable Angina and Stroke During 30 Days After Discontinuation of Therapy.For 30 days after Week 24 or the discontinuation of study drug
Percentage of Participants Who Had Composite of All-cause Death, Non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), Unstable Angina, and Non-hemorrhagic Stroke Occurring During the Intended Treatment Period.From the day of randomization to the later date of either 2-days after the last dose of study drug or Day 168/Week 24 after randomization day (or the study termination date [19 November 2010, Japan time])

Intended treatment period for efficacy endpoints was defined as a period starting on the day of randomization and ending at the later date of either 2-days after the last dose of study drug or Day 168/Week 24 after randomization day (or the study termination date \[19 November 2010, Japan time\]).
