RE-DEEM Dose Finding Study for Dabigatran Etexilate in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00621855
Lead Sponsor
Boehringer Ingelheim
Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and indicators of efficacy of up to 4 doses of orally administered dabigatran etexilate, administered twice daily, compared to placebo when given in addition to dual antiplatelet treatment in patients with an index event (MI) at high risk for new ischaemic cardiovascular events.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Displaying the Composite of Major and Clinically Relevant Minor Bleeding Events During Total Observation Time6 month treatment period + 2 week post treatment follow up

International Society Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) definition of a major bleed, and clinically relevant minor bleed.

A bleeding event was considered as major if it was fatal, was a symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ (intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular, pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome), or caused a fall in haemoglobin level of ≥2 g/dL (≥1.24 mmol/L), or led to transfusion of ≥2 units of whole blood or red cells.

All non major bleeding events were classified as minor bleeds; minor bleeds were subdivided in clinically relevant minor bleeds and not clinically relevant minor bleeds. A CRBE was defined as an acute or subacute clinically overt bleed that did not meet the criteria of a major bleed but either lead to hospital admission and/or a physician guided medical or surgical treatment and/or a change in antithrombotic therapy (including interruption or discontinuation of study drug).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Any Reduction of D-dimer Concentrationat 1 week and 4 weeks
Composite of Cardiovascular Death (CVD) With Non Fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI) and Non Haemorrhagic Stroke and All Cause Death (ACD), Non Fatal MI, Severe Recurrent Ischaemia (SRI) and Non Haemorrhagic Stroke During Six Months Treatment6 month treatment period + 2 week post treatment follow up

Number of Participants with Composite of Cardiovascular death (CVD) with non fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and non haemorrhagic stroke and All cause death (ACD), non fatal MI, severe recurrent ischaemia (SRI) and non haemorrhagic stroke during six months treatment

Individual Occurrence of Death (Cardiovascular and All-cause), Non-fatal MI, Severe Recurrent Ischaemia and Non-haemorrhagic Stroke During Six Months of Treatment6 month treatment period + 2 week post treatment follow up

Number of Participants with individual occurrence of death (cardiovascular and all-cause), non-fatal MI, severe recurrent ischaemia and non-haemorrhagic stroke during six months of treatment.

Change From Baseline in log10 D-dimer After 1 and 4 WeeksBaseline and at 1 week and 4 weeks

Change from baseline in log10 D-dimer concentration after 1 and 4 weeks of dabigatran etexilate treatment compared to placebo. The standard deviation is the geometric standard deviation.

Laboratory Analyses6 month treatment period + 2 week post treatment follow up

Number of patients with possible clinically significant abnormalities. Clinically significant abnormalities refers to the increase or decrease from baseline.
