Brief Summary

Study Objectives PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether fondaparinux is at least as effective as or superior to enoxaparin in preventing death, myocardial infarction or refactory ischemia up to Day 9 in the acute treatment of patients with unstable angina/non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction concurrently managed with standard medical therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: If non inferiority of fondaparinux is established on initial statistical analysis in a second step, superiority of fondaparinux to enoxaparin will be evaluated statistically.

  • To determine whether fondaparinux is superior to enoxaparin in reducing death or MI at Day 9
  • To determine whether fondaparinux is superior to enoxaparin in reducing major bleeding events up to Day 9
  • To determine whether the relative effect on the primary end point of fondaparinux versus enoxaparin is sustained at Day 14, Day 30, Day 90 and Day 180 Study Drug: Patients will be randomized to receive either:
  • Fondaparinux 2.5 mg once and placebo-enoxaparin twice daily by subcutaneous injection or
  • Enoxaparin (1mg/kg) twice and fondaparinux-placebo once daily by subcutaneous injection Duration of Therapy:
  • Fondaparinux 2.5mg daily for 8 days or hospital discharge (whichever is earlier)
  • Enoxaparin 1mg/kg b.i.d. x 2-8 days or until clinically stable.
  • Patients should receive an ASA and all other standard medical therapies. Substudy:
  • A substudy comparing routine early coronary angiography immediately or as soon as possible (but no later than 24 hours after randomization) and intervention versus delayed (\>48 hrs) coronary angiography and intervention. Primary Outcome: The first occurence of any component of the following composite up to Day 9:
  • Death
  • Myocardial Infarction
  • Refractory Ischemia
