Comparison of Anticoagulation Prolongation vs. no Anticoagulation in STEMI Patients After Primary PCI

Registration Number
NCT03664180
Lead Sponsor
Beijing Anzhen Hospital
Brief Summary

The RIGHT study is a large randomized study dedicated to post-PPCI anticoagulation in STEMI patients. The investigators propose to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of anticoagulation prolonged for at least 48 hours after the procedure vs. no prolongation of anticoagulation after procedure in patients with STEMI treated with bivalirudin during PPCI (primary hypothesis). When allocated to anticoagulation prolongation by randomization, the subject will be assigned to UFH, enoxaparin or bivalirudin (same regimen allocated by centre) for at least 48 hours after PPCI. The results from this study are expected to provide guidance on the risk/benefit of post-procedural anticoagulation in patients with STEMI.

Detailed Description

A minor change of time of randomization after prolongation of bivalirudin infusion at PCI dose up to 4 hours on protocol at September 19,2018. Reasons: a minor change concerning the timing of randomization considering the current local practice in some centers that use the 4 hour infusion of bivalirudin just after PCI. It remains in agreement with the current international guidelines and with the drug label in China. There is no change in drugs used and doses of these drugs once the randomization occurs.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary efficacy endpoint - number of event of a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, stent thrombosis (definite) or urgent revascularization (any vessel)30 days

The number of event of a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, stent thrombosis (definite) or urgent revascularization (any vessel) within 30 days after randomization

Primary safety endpoint - The number of event of major bleeding30 days

The number of event of major bleeding (BARC 3 to 5) within 30 days after randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary ischemic endpoints - The number of event of a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke30 days

The number of event of a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke within 30 days after randomization

Secondary ischemic endpoints - The number of event of a composite of all-cause death or non-fatal myocardial infarction30 days

The number of event of a composite of all-cause death or non-fatal myocardial infarction within 30 days after randomization

Secondary ischemic endpoints - The number of cardiovascular death events30 days

The number of cardiovascular death event within 30 days after randomization

Secondary ischemic endpoints - The number of stent thrombosis (ARC definite) events30 days

The number of stent thrombosis (ARC definite) event within 30 days after randomization

Secondary safety endpoints - The number of bleeding events (TIMI, STEEPLE and GUSTO definition)30 days

The number of bleeding events (TIMI, STEEPLE and GUSTO definition) within 30 days after randomization

To demonstrate that post-procedure anticoagulation with UFH, enoxaparin or bivalirudin as compared to their placebo is associated to lower rate of the composite endpoint of major bleeding according to TIMI, STEEPLE and GUSTO definitions within the first 30 days after randomization.

Secondary safety endpoints - The number of thrombocytopenia events30 days

The number of thrombocytopenia events within 30 days after randomization

To demonstrate superiority of a strategy of post-procedure anticoagulation with UFH, enoxaparin or bivalirudin as compared to their placebo by the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any event of the Thrombocytopenia endpoint over 30 days of follow-up.
