A Study to Investigate the Procoagulant Effect of Tenecteplase (TNK-tPA), Alteplase (Rt-PA) and Streptokinase (SK) Administered to Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
Phase 3
Completed
- Conditions
- Myocardial Infarction
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT02182011
- Lead Sponsor
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Brief Summary
Primary objective: to evaluate the procoagulant effect of TNK-tPA compared to rt-PA and streptokinase, administered to patients with AMI, by measuring the concentration of TAT at 2 hours after the start of treatment versus baseline values.
Secondary objective: change from baseline in concentration of TAT at 6 and 24 hours; change from baseline in concentration of D-dimers, F1+2, PAI-1, PAP at 2, 6 and 24 hours. Incidence of adverse events (AE's), in -hospital complications, major or minor bleedings and serious adverse events.
