GUSTO trials

Clinical trials One of the trials (ISIS-3) showed that streptokinase plus aspirin performed as well as recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) or complex formulations of streptokinase such as anistreplase (APSAC). The GUSTO trial showed a small advantage for the much more expensive t-PA over streptokinase, but with a significantly higher risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Nine clinical trials—each containing over 1000 patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction—... [Pg.774]

On the basis of the information derived from the GUSTO trial, Hathaway (1998a,b) reported a nomogram, for the quantification of involved area and to stratify the 30-day mortality risk, on the basis of the ST-segment abnormalities (elevation or depression) at the time of hospital admission (between 1 and 4 h from the onset of pain). Also, electrocardiographic (QRS complex width) and clinical (age, risk factors, Killip class, etc.) data were included (Table 8.4). From a practical point of view, an ST-segment deviation (upward or downward deviation)above 15 mm is supposed to indicate the existence of a large area of myocardium at risk (see Risk stratification ) (p. 257). [Pg.224]

The GUSTO trial demonstrated that treatment of patients within 6 hours after onset of symptoms with the combination of a clot-selective thrombolytic agent [recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA)] plus conjunctive treatment with aspirin and intravenous unfractionated heparin resulted in 30-day mortality of 6.3% (6). An angiographic substudy demonstrated that patency of the infarct-related artery was not the sole determinant of outcome. Restoration of normal coronary flow after thrombolysis was found to be critical in lowering mortality (7). Thus, angiographic analysis demonstrated that both induction of culprit artery patency and the extent of restoration of flow were determinants of outcome. [Pg.120]

In contrast to the putative superiority of abciximab in PCI, its role in medical stabilization therapy for ACS was seriously challenged by the findings of GUSTO-IV ACS trial, resulting in a Class III (contraindicated) recommendation. On the other hand, small molecules are recommended as Class II indication for medical management of ACS,... [Pg.51]

In the Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO)-llb trial, the effects of UFH and hirudin in combination with either t-PA or SK were compared in 3289 patients with AMI (53), When dosed in combination with SK, the benefit of hirudin over UFH was observed in the clinical efficacy endpoint with the same levels of bleeding complications, In the TIMI 9b trial, 3002 patients with AMI were dosed with hirudin or UFH in combination with t-PA or SK, but no difference between the groups was observed in the clinical efficacy endpoint up to 30 days after administration (54). The administration of UFH or hirudin was not initiated... [Pg.100]

Several direct thrombin inhibitors have been studied in NSTEMI and STEM I patients and were compared to unfractionated heparin. In the GUSTO lib- and OASIS-2 trial (42,43), hirudin was studied versus heparin in patients with ACS. Despite early benefits, no statistical significance could be demonstrated at 30 days. Together with the OASIS-1 data, a combined analysis indicated a 22% relative risk reduction in cardiovascular death or Ml at 72 hours, 17% at 7 days, and 10% at 35 days (42). [Pg.121]

Combination therapy with a thrombolytic agent and GPIIb/llla inhibitor has been studied in acute Ml. Various randomized trials (TAMI-8, IMPACT INTRO AMI, TIMI-14, SPEED, GUSTO V) in the coronary literature have shown that combination therapy reduced thrombolysis time and permitted a reduction of thrombolytic doses by 25% to 50% of the normal dose, This is explained by the fact that thrombus is composed of both fibrin and platelets. Thrombolytics only address the fibrin component of acute thrombus, Furthermore, thrombolytics may actually activate platelets directly resulting in additional thrombus formation, Therefore, the addition of GPIIb/llla inhibition facilitates the efficiency of the thrombolytic agent, It is also known that GPIIb/llla inhibition alone can actually dissolve platelet rich clot (41,42,43),... [Pg.580]

Because of the significant correlation with age and a previous history of stroke, it is now widely considered that in patients over 75 years with a history of stroke other therapies, such as primary coronary angioplasty, must be considered. As reported in the GUSTO-1 trial, patients with very high systolic blood pressures have an increased risk of death or disabling stroke (26), and the pulse pressure has been reported to be the clearest predictor of the blood pressure as regards the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (27). [Pg.3403]

When it is suspected that there may only be small differences between active treatments, and when placebo controls are unavailable for clinical or ethical reasons, then it is often necessary to resort to large-scale studies ( mega-trials ). A good, famous example was the clinical trial known by the acronym GUSTO, where streptokinase and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) were compared for acute coronary thrombosis (for a commentary, see Hampton, 1996). [Pg.122]

Selected scores have been proposed for stratifying risk after MI. These scores have been derived either from clinical trials (TIMI, PURSUIT, GUSTO, etc.) or from registries and cohort studies (PREDICT, CCP, etc.). The majority of them divide the ACS into two groups with and without ST-segment elevation (STE-MI or STE-ACS vs NSTE-MI or NSTE-ACS). This classification is very useful for a better approach of treatment. The GUSTO score includes QRS duration and ECG (Hathaway et al., 1998a,b) prior MI (Table 8.4), and the PREDICT score uses other ECG parameters (ECG severity score) that include ST, Q wave and branch block criteria (Jacobs etal., 1999 Table 8.5). [Pg.257]
