E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of different doses of AZD6140 in the presence of acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), compared with clopidogrel plus ASA in patients with non-ST segment elevation ACS by evaluation of total bleeding events (excluding minimal bleeds) observed within the first 4 weeks of treatment (Day 29).
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
·To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of AZD6140 in the presence of ASA compared to clopidogrel plus ASA (in clopidogrel-naïve patients). ·To compare the platelet aggregation response to AZD6140 on Day 1 in clopidogrel-naïve patients and clopidogrel pre-treated patients. ·To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of AZD6140 and its active metabolite AR-C124910XX. ·To evaluate the relationship between AZD6140 pharmacokinetics and platelet aggregation inhibition. ·To evaluate the relationship between AZD6140 and AR-C124910XX exposures and the occurrence of major and minor bleeding. ·To compare the safety and tolerability of AZD6140/ASA with clopidogrel/ASA. ·To assess the safety and tolerability of the AZD6140 loading dose. ·To evaluate the effect of AZD6140 on the inflammatory markers and comparing the changes to those achieved with clopidogrel. · |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Non-ST segment elevation ACS (index event) within the previous 48 hours documented by ischaemic symptoms of >10 minutes’ duration at rest, plus at least one of the following criteria described in either a or b: a. Biochemical marker evidence of MI: - Troponin T or I > local MI decision limit on at least one occasion during the first 24 hours after admission for the index clinical event. - CK-MB, preferably CK-MB mass, >local MI decision limit on at least one occasion during the first 24 hours after admission for the index clinical event. - In the absence of troponin or CK-MB, total CK >2x local MI decision limit during the first 24 hours after admission for the index clinical event. b.

Provision of written informed consent. 3. Females and males aged 18 years and over.
