Early Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibition in Non-ST-segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial Evaluating the Clinical Benefits of Early Front-loaded Eptifibatide in the Treatment of Patients With Non-ST-segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (EARLY ACS)
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Eptifibatide (Integrilin) and Placebo for Myocardial Ischemia and Acute Coronary Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 9,406 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if early INTEGRILIN® (eptifibatide) therapy in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS) reduces the occurence of death, heart attack and urgent cardiac intervention (surgery) compared to placebo (with delayed provisional use of eptifibatide).

Interventions
intravenous; 180 mcg/kg bolus followed by infusion of 2 mcg/kg/min for 12 to 96 hours (or longer if necessary to complete the 18- to 24-hour post-PCI infusion period, or up to 120 hours in patients who proceed to CABG \[coronary artery bypass graft\]); second bolus of 180 mcg/kg administered 10 minutes after first bolus.
intravenous; delivery to match eptifibatide to maintain blind
