A Trial on Efficacy and Safety of Full Dose Tenecteplase Combined With Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) or Enoxaparin in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in the Prehospital Setting
ASSENT 3 Plus
A Phase IIIb-IV, Randomised, Open Label Trial on Efficacy and Safety of 2 Parallel Groups: Full Dose Tenecteplase Combined With Unfractionated Heparin or Enoxaparin in Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Prehospital Setting (ASSENT 3 Plus) ASSENT 3 Plus Was a Satellite Study to ASSENT 3 (Main Study) ASSENT (ASsessment of the Safety and Efficacy of New Thrombolytic Regimens)

Brief Summary
The primary objective of ASSENT 3 Plus (the same as for ASSENT 3) was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of full dose tenecteplase combined with unfractionated heparin (UFH, group A) and full dose tenecteplase combined with enoxaparin (ENOX, group B). An additional objective in ASSENT 3 Plus was to describe the different time intervals in the prehospital phase.

- Age ≥ 18
- Informed consent received
You may not qualify if:
- Hypertension defined as blood pressure (BP) \> 180/110 mmHg (systolic blood pressure (SBP) 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \> 110 mmHg) on repeated measurements during current admission prior to randomisation
- Use of abciximab (ReoPro ®) or other glycoprotein-IIb/IIIa antagonists within the preceding seven days
- Major surgery, biopsy of a parenchymal organ, or significant trauma within two months
- Any minor head trauma and any other trauma occurring after onset of the current myocardial infarction (MI)
