Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional



Official Title: A 2x2 Factorial, Randomized, Multicenter, Single-Blind Evaluation of Intracoronary Abciximab Infusion and Aspiration Thrombectomy in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Anterior

Brief Summary:

This is a multicenter, open-label, controlled, single-blind, randomized study with up to 452 subjects enrolled in up to 50 US and European sites. Subjects who present with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and an occluded proximal or mid left anterior descending (LAD) with TIMI 0/1/2 flow will be eligible for randomization to one of the following arms:

  1. Local infusion of abciximab following thrombus aspiration
  2. Local infusion of abciximab and no thrombus aspiration
  3. No local infusion and thrombus aspiration
  4. No local infusion and no thrombus aspiration

In addition, a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sub-study evaluating microvascular obstruction (MVO) will be performed with up to 160 subjects at up to 20 sites.
