The Randomized OPTIMAL-ACT Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Despite the widespread adoption of recommended anticoagulation intensity ranges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), there are limited randomized clinical trials testing specific targets for activated clotting times (ACT). The primary research hypothesis is that in the modern cardiac catheterization laboratory, where PCI procedural duration is relatively short, radial access with small caliber equipment is preferable, and where rates of intracoronary stenting and dual antiplatelet therapy use is high, lower ACT targets, as compared with higher ACT targets, will be associated with lower rates of bleeding while having similar rates of ischemic events.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Low ACT Target ACT target range of 225 to 275 seconds is achieved prior to PCI if no planned glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor used |
Drug: Unfractionated heparin
Administration of unfractionated heparin will be assessed using the activated clotting time
|
Active Comparator: Medium ACT Target ACT target range of 275 to 325 seconds is achieved prior to PCI if no planned glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor used |
Drug: Unfractionated heparin
Administration of unfractionated heparin will be assessed using the activated clotting time
|
Active Comparator: High ACT Target ACT target range of 325 to 375 seconds is achieved prior to PCI if no planned glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor used |
Drug: Unfractionated heparin
Administration of unfractionated heparin will be assessed using the activated clotting time

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures

Count of any individuals experiencing any of the following: Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 1, 2, 3 or 5 or EASY hematoma classification after transradial/ulnar procedures (I-V)
- Primary Safety Endpoint: Composite of Net Adverse Clinical Events (NACE) [From date of randomization until the date of first documented NACE event (all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, target lesion revascularization, or major bleeding) , whichever came first, assessed up to 30 days.]
Count of individuals experiencing any of the following: all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, target lesion revascularization, or major bleeding
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Stent Thrombosis [From date of randomization until the date of first documented stent thrombosis, assessed up to 30 days.]
Count of individuals who experience stent thrombosis
