A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Abciximab, an Anti-Platelet Therapy, in Patients With Unstable Angina Not Responding to Standard Medical Therapy Who Are Eligible for Coronary Angioplasty

Angina, Unstable Clinical Trial

Official title: Chimeric Anti-Platelet Therapy (Abciximab) in Unstable Angina Refractory to Standard Medical Therapy Trial (CAPTURE)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, versus placebo in patients with unstable angina who are not responding to standard medical therapy and who are eligible for coronary angioplasty.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, in patients with unstable angina who are not responding to standard medical therapy and who are eligible for coronary angioplasty. The primary outcomes of the study include any of the following within 30 days: the number of deaths from any cause, myocardial infarctions or the number of recurrent ischemic events requiring urgent intervention (such as a coronary artery bypass surgery, repeat coronary angioplasty, coronary stent placement, or intra-aortic balloon pump). Please see attached results.

Patients will be treated with abciximab or matching placebo. ;
