Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the change in ultrasensitive troponin within 6-8 hours, 14-16 hours, and 22-24 hours following the index procedure, as a surrogate marker for peri-procedural ischemic events. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are to compare: • the combined safety and the preliminary efficacy towards prevention of ischemic events and major bleeding of two doses of Revasc® (Desirudin 30mg, 45mg), as compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) and Bivalirudin, in addition to a standard dual antiplatelet regimen, in the setting of elective low to medium risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) • the individual components of the primary endpoint, and of other major clinical endpoints; • the safety of the treatments plus dual antiplatelet therapy, particularly with respect to bleeding complications; • clinical signs of thrombosis; • the coagulation profile of two different doses of Desirudin in addition to a standard dual antiplatelet regimen in the setting of elective PCI. • The differential effect of different anticoagulation regimens on neutrophil activation, myeloperoxidase release and systemic inflammation following PCI. | — |
