Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled dose-ranging study of tirofiban (MK-383) platelet IIb/IIIa blockade in high risk patients undergoing coronary angioplasty

Abstract: This study establishes a rational and generally well tolerated dosing regimen for administration of tirofiban as adjunctive therapy in high risk angioplasty patients. The impact of tirofiban on adverse clinical outcomes after angioplasty awaits definition by a larger clinical trial.

“…Tirofiban dosing has been on the basis of inhibiting PA in response to a weak agonist (5 mol/L ADP), whereas current eptifibatide and abciximab regimens have been dosed to inhibit PA in response to more potent agonists (20 mol/L ADP and thrombin). [7][8][9][10] The use of citrated blood in determining tirofiban dosing may have also resulted in under-dosing relative to eptifibatide and abciximab, as our results and others 18 suggest that the calcium-chelating effects of citrate exaggerate ex vivo platelet inhibition with small molecule, low-affinity GP IIb/IIIa antagonists (eptifibatide and tirofiban). Unlike tirofiban, current eptifibatide regimens have already accounted for this phenomenon.…”

“…For example, tirofiban has been dosed to achieve Ͼ90% inhibition of platelet aggregation (PA) in response to 5 mol/L adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in citrate anticoagulated blood. 7 In contrast, eptifibatide and abciximab have been dosed to inhibit PA in response to stronger agonists, such as 20 mol/L ADP or thrombin receptor agonist peptide. 8 -10 Furthermore, whether the calcium-chelating effect of citrate alters abciximab or tirofiban pharmacodynamics, as has been observed with eptifibatide, 11 remains unclear.…”

“…[11][12][13] Additionally, several other selective GPIIb/IIIa antagonists, including eptifibatide (Integrilin, Cor Therapeutics), tirofiban, and lamifiban, are in advanced stages of clinical development and aimed primarily for intravenous use in the treatment and prevention of acute ischemic heart diseases. [13][14][15] Current intravenously administered smallmolecule GPIIb/IIIa antagonists, such as Integrilin or tirofiban, in clinical trials have a faster rate of dissociation from human platelets, reflecting their short duration of antiplatelet effects compared with that of abciximab. 3,16,17 Sustaining antiplatelet efficacy levels with intravenous GPIIb/IIIa antagonists can be achieved with intravenous bolus and infusion regimens.…”

“…9 In patient with ACS, PCI via TFA was associated with increase incidence of access site complication are common. [10][11][12] These complications are an important cause of increased patient morbidity, longer hospital stay and higher hospital cost. 13 The superficial location of RA allows easy homeostasis with less bleeding complication.…”
