Primary
| Measure | Time 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) | — |
