What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. First Occurrence of CV Death / MI / Stroke - Clopidogrel Treatment Regimen Comparison

    The primary endpoint is the first occurrence of any of the following events:

    • Cardiovascular death (any death with a clear cardiovascular or unknown cause),
    • Myocardial Infarction (diagnosis of new Myocardial Infarction (MI) - nonfatal or fatal)
    • Stroke (presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be vascular in origin, with signs or symptoms lasting more than 24 hours - nonfatal or fatal) reported between the randomization and Day 30 (inclusive), and validated by the blinded Event Adjudication Committee (EAC).

    Measured: 30 days

  2. First Occurrence of CV Death / MI / Stroke - ASA Dose Comparison

    Measured: 30 days

  3. First Occurrence of CV Death / MI / Stroke - Interaction Clopidogrel Treatment Regimen and ASA Dose Level

    Measured: 30 days

  4. First Occurrence of CV Death / MI / Stroke - Clopidogrel Treatment Regimen Comparison in PCI Subgroup

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occurrence of Major Bleeding - Clopidogrel Dose Regimen Comparison

    Major bleeding is defined as any severe bleeding (associated with any of the following: death, leading to a drop in hemoglobin ≥ 5 g/dl, significant hypotension with the need for inotropic agents, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, requirement for surgery or for a transfusion ≥ 4 units of red blood cells or equivalent whole blood) and other major bleeding (significantly disabling bleeding, or intraocular bleeding leading to significant loss of vision or bleeding requiring transfusion of 2-3 units of red blood cells or equivalent whole blood) after validation by the independent EAC.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Occurrence of Major Bleeding - ASA Dose Level Comparison

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Clopidogrel and acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) in people with Acute Coronary Disease and Angina Unstable, run by Sanofi at 38 sites in 38 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium and 33 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Oct 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

First Occurrence of CV Death / MI / Stroke - Clopidogrel Treatment Regimen Comparison (time frame: 30 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00335452, which also lists 8 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2010.
