Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objectives of the trial are to show that, when compared with standard anti-thrombotic therapies other than bivalirudin (which includes treatment with unfractionated heparin and optional Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitor [GPI]) that at 30 days: • Bivalirudin is superior to control at reducing a composite of death and non-Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts (CABG)-related protocol major bleeding. ;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is a composite of death, and non-CABG-related protocol major bleeding;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days (±5 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Death or re-infarction (MI) at 30 days • Death at 30 days and 365 days • Re-infarction (MI) at 30 days • IDR at 30 days • Death, re-infarction (MI) or IDR at 30 days • Death, re-infarction (MI) or non-CABG-related protocol major bleeding at 30 days • Major bleeding at 30 days (protocol, TIMI and GUSTO) • Minor bleeding at 30 days (protocol, TIMI, and GUSTO) • Incidence of thrombocytopenia post index procedure and at 30 days • Stent thrombosis (ARC definition) within at 30 days • Stroke at 30 days;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days and 365 days
