NCT03363035

Brief Summary

H-REPLACE trial is a prospective, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, multicenter study in participants with ACS (STEMI or NSTEMI, unstable angina). All eligible participants receiving background treatment of aspirin plus clopidogrel or ticagrelor will be randomly assigned to either oral rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily or rivaroxaban 5 mg twice daily or subcutaneous (SC) enoxaparin 1mg/kg twice daily until hospital discharge or 12 hours before revascularization therapy for a maximum of 8 days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Primary Safety Outcome: The percentage of patients with minor, clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) and major bleeding [International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) definition of bleeding]

    The percentage of patients with the first occurrence of bleeding event according to ISTH definition. The statistical analysis was based on the occurrence of the bleeding event from randomization to Month 6.

    From the time of randomization (Day 1) up to completion of the follow up phase (Month 6)

  • Primary Efficacy Outcome: The percentage of patients with the composite endpoint of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, re-revascularization or stroke.

    The percentage of patients with the first occurrence of the composite of death, myocardial infarction, re-revascularization or stroke. The statistical analysis was based on the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the event up to Month 6.

    From the time of randomization (Day 1) up to completion of the follow up phase (Month 6).

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The percentage of patients with the cardiac-related rehospitalization.

    From the time of randomization (Day 1) up to completion of the follow up phase (Month 6).

  • The percentage of patients with the all-cause death.

    From the time of randomization (Day 1) up to completion of the follow up phase (Month 6).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female aged ≥ 18 years
  • Diagnosed with ACS (STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina)
  • With an indication for short-term combination use of DAPT and enoxaparin.

You may not qualify if:

  • Already received thrombolytic therapy or revascularization or needing revascularization therapy in 12 hours.
  • With platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist therapy.
  • With increased bleeding risk, such as but not limited to, active internal bleeding, clinically significant bleeding, bleeding at a non-compressible site, or bleeding diathesis within 30 days of randomization; platelet count less than 90,000/μL at screening; intracranial hemorrhage; major surgery, biopsy of a parenchymal organ, or serious trauma within 30 days before randomization; clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 12 months before randomization; an international normalized ratio known to be\>1.5 at the time of screening; abciximab bolus or infusion within the preceding 8 hours, or an eptifibatide or tirofiban bolus or infusion within the past 2 hours preceding randomization; or any other condition known to increase the risk of bleeding.
  • Severe concomitant condition or disease, such as cardiogenic shock at the time of randomization, ventricular arrhythmia refractory to treatment at the time of randomization, calculated creatinine clearance b 30 mL/min at screening, known significant liver disease (e.g., acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis), or liver function test abnormalities (confirmed with repeat testing) which would require study drug discontinuation, i.e., aminoleucine transferase (ALT) \>5 × the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) or ALT \>3 × ULN plus total bilirubin \>2 × ULN, prior ischemic stroke or transient ischemia attack, anemia (i.e., hemoglobin \< 10 g/ dL= at screening, known clinical history of human immunodeficiency virus infection at screening, substance abuse (drug or alcohol) problem within the previous 6 months or any severe condition such as cancer that would limit life expectancy to less than 6 months.
  • With an indication for long-term oral anticoagulation therapy such as atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, or prior placement of a mechanical heart valve.
  • With other contraindications for use of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin.
  • Enrolled in another clinical study.
