Brief summary

The object of the study is to determine whether different doses of PZ-128, when added to standard medical care in persons undergoing cardiac catheterization/percutaneous coronary intervention, will increase the risk of bleeding. A secondary objective is to determine whether patients treated with PZ-128 have fewer cardiac events such as heart attack, bypass surgery or stroke compared with those persons treated with the standard of care.

Inclusion criteria

1. The subject is at least 18 years of age and may be of either sex/gender and of any race and ethnicity. 2. The subject is scheduled to undergo non-emergent PCI or non-emergent cardiac catheterization with the intention of performing PCI. The following classifications of the urgency of the procedure at the time the operator decides to perform it will be used for randomization stratification: * Elective: The cardiac catheterization procedure ± PCI can be performed on an outpatient basis or during a subsequent hospitalization without significant risk of MI or death. For stable inpatients, this is a procedure that is performed during the hospitalization for convenience and ease of scheduling only and not because the subject's clinical situation demands that the procedure be performed prior to discharge. OR * Urgent: The cardiac catheterization ± PCI procedure should be performed on an inpatient basis and before discharge because of significant concerns about the risk of myocardial ischemia, MI and/or death. For subjects who are outpatients or in the emergency department at the time that the cardiac catheterization is requested, this is a procedure that would warrant hospital admission based on clinical presentation. 3. There is no anticipation that the subject would require treatment with a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor prior to the initiation of the cardiac catheterization ± PCI procedure if the subject were not a participant in the current research study, and no anticipation of use during the procedure. 4. The subject is willing and able to give appropriate informed consent and complete all study-related procedures, and able to adhere to dosing and visit schedules (i.e., subject signs an approved informed consent document(s) and provides HIPAA authorization); 5. The subject will undergo all of the pre-enrollment parameters according to the study protocol prior to randomization and have them completed within 14 days prior to the scheduled cardiac catheterization ± PCI procedure and study drug administration. 6. Women of childbearing potential (all postmenarchal women who are \<1 year menopausal or who have not had surgical sterilization or a hysterectomy are considered to be women of child-bearing potential) must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception from the time written informed consent is given up until 90 days following the study drug administration. Subject

Exclusion criteria

The subject will be excluded from entry if any of the criteria listed below are met: (General Exclusions) 1.

Recruitment details

NCT02561000: Study TMC-PZ128-02 (TRIP-PCI Trial) was conducted at 3 centers in the U.S. between 27 May 2016 and 25 May 2018. A total of 3056 patients were screened for study and 100 patients were randomly assigned to treatment.

Pre-assignment details

Of the 3056 patients pre-screened for study, 2956 patients were pre-screening failures, and 100 patients were randomly assigned to treatment. Of the 100 patients, 3 never received study drug (2 withdrew following randomization and 1 experienced an adverse event pre-dose), leaving 97 patients valid for the primary safety analysis. All randomized patients with at least 1 follow-up assessment (98 patients) were included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis set for secondary efficacy analyses.

Outcome results

Primary

First Occurrence of Major Plus Minor Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Bleeding Events; Number/Percentage of Observed Participants With Outcome Measure Events During the Study (Primary Safety)

All suspected bleeding events positively adjudicated by CEC in a blinded fashion, were used in the reporting of the number/percentage of observed participants with a first occurrence of a TIMI major or minor bleeding event.

Time frame: From initiation of study drug up to 30 days following study drug

Population: The Safety population included randomized participants who received any amount of the study drug dose of the double-blind IP infusion (summarized and analyzed as treated). Four patients assigned to PZ-128 0.3 mg/kg did not receive randomized treatment allocation: 1 patient received placebo in error and was evaluated as placebo for primary safety outcome and adverse events; 2 patients withdrew consent right after randomization; and 1 patient had an adverse event prior to receiving any study drug.

All suspected MACE events positively adjudicated by Clinical Events Committee (CEC) in a blinded fashion, were used in the reporting of the number/percentage of observed participants with a first occurrence of the composite cardiovascular (CV) outcome measure comprised of CV death, non-fatal Myocardial Infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic or unknown), recurrent ischemia requiring hospitalization, or urgent coronary revascularization. The number/percentage of observed participants with outcome measure events during the study were reported.

Time frame: From randomization up to 30 days following study drug

Population: The Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants, regardless of study drug intake, who underwent at least 1 follow-up assessment within 30 days after study drug dosing. Two patients (PZ-128 0.3 mg/kg) could not be evaluated for the 30-day outcome due to complete study withdrawal shortly after randomization.
