Summary

The sponsors of this investigational drug are developing prasugrel as a possible treatment for patients with acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or chest pain) who need, or are expected to need, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI; also called a balloon angioplasty). Prasugrel will be compared with clopidogrel to determine which drug is better at reducing deaths, future heart attacks, or stroke.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Comparison of CS-747 and Clopidogrel in Acute Coronary Syndrome Subjects Who Are to Undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome:

Test the hypothesis that CS-747 plus aspirin is superior to clopidogrel plus aspirin in the treatment of subjects with acute coronary syndrome who are to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),

as measured by a reduction in the composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death,nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke at a median follow-up of at least 12 months

Secondary outcome: Evaluate the incidence of major and minor bleeding events in subjects receiving CS-747 or Clopidogrel and overall safety and tolerability of CS-747
