| Main Objective: The hypothesis to be tested is that in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, a strategy based on 60 mg prasugrel pretreatment plus bivalirudin is superior to a strategy of 600 mg clopidogrel pretreatment plus heparin in terms of clinical outcomes (composite of all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, urgent infarct-related artery revascularization, stroke, definite stent thrombosis or major bleeding; superiority hypothesis).;Secondary Objective: The secondary endpoints are the following: Composite of all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, unplanned IRA revascularization, stroke or definite stent thrombosis at 30 days after randomization (ischemic end point) Incidence of major bleeding according to HORIZONS-AMI definitions at 30 days after randomization Bleeding events will also be assessed according to the TIMI criteria Cardiac death rate at 30 days after randomization;Primary end point(s): A composite of all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, unplanned IRA revascularization, stroke, definite stent thrombosis (according to Academic Research Consortium definition) or major bleeding (according to HORIZONS-AMI trial definition) at 30 days after randomization. ;Main Objective: The hypothesis to be tested is that in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, a strategy based on 60 mg prasugrel pretreatment plus bivalirudin is superior to a strategy of 600 mg clopidogrel pretreatment plus heparin in terms of clinical outcomes (composite of all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, urgent infarct-related artery revascularization, stroke, definite stent thrombosis or major bleeding; superiority hypothesis).;Secondary Objective: The secondary endpoints are the following: Composite of all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction, unplanned IRA revascularization, stroke or definite stent thrombosis at 30 days after randomization (ischemic end point) Incidence of major bleeding according to HORIZONS-AMI definitions at 30 days afte | — |
