Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Coronary artery disease with objective evidence of ischemia (e.g., symptoms of angina pectoris, positive results of a stress test or dynamic electrocardiographic [ECG] changes)
  • Adequate Aspirin and Clopidogrel pre-treatment.( Adequate clopidogrel pre-treatment is defined as a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel at least 6 hours prior to the PCI-procedure or a 300 mg loading dose of clopidogrel >24 hours prior to the PCI-procedure or a 75 mg dose of clopidogrel for at least >5 days prior to the PCI procedure
  • Patient is thought to be at a high likelihood for requiring PCI (significant angiographic lesions in native coronary arteries amenable to and requiring a percutaneous coronary intervention)
  • A stent (either drug-eluting or bare metal) is planned to be placed in at least one lesion.
  • Written Informed consent

Who cannot join

  • ST-segment elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction (ST-segment ≥0.1mV in ≥2 contiguous ECG leads persisting for at least 20 minutes) within 48 hours from symptom onset.
  • Contraindications to antithrombotic/antiplatelet therapy
  • Failed coronary intervention in the previous 2 weeks
  • Malignancies
  • Increased risk of bleeding (previous stroke in the past months, active bleeding or bleeding diathesis, recent trauma or major surgery in the last month, suspected aortic dissection, oral anticoagulation therapy with coumarin derivate within 7 days, recent use of GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors within 14 days, severe uncontrolled hypertension >180 mmHg unresponsive to therapy)
  • Relevant hematologic deviations (hemoglobin <100g/L (6,2 mmol/L) or hematocrit <34%, platelet count <100 x 109 /L or platelet count > 600 x 109/L)
  • Known allergy to clopidogrel
  • Pregnancy (present or suspected)

About this study

Official title: Do Point-of-care Platelet Function Assays Predict Clinical Outcomes in Clopidogrel Pre-treated Patients Undergoing Elective PCI. (The POPular Study)

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the level of Platelet Inhibition as assessed with five point-of-care platelet function assays correlates with clinical (periprocedural) outcomes such as Acute Myocardial Infarction, death, Target Vessel revascularization and/or stroke in patients undergoing elective PCI.

Read the detailed description

Antiplatelet agents-aspirin, thienopyridines, and platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GpIIb/IIIa) inhibitors-have become cornerstones in the treatment of ischemic heart disease for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)1,2. However, several studies have demonstrated with the use of platelet function assays that subgroups of patients receiving either aspirin, clopidogrel, or both fail to produce the anticipated antiplatelet effect3-5. Consequently, terms like "aspirin-resistance" and "clopidogrel resistance" have been introduced in literature.

Light transmittance platelet aggregometry is generally considered to be the gold standard for determining platelet function, but its relevance to in vivo platelet function is questionable and the logistically demands of the method make it impossible to use in daily practice. In addition, aggregation is just one of several important platelet functions. The introduction of several point-of-care assays may be the key to the widespread clinical use of platelet function testing to identify so called anti-platelet therapy low-responders. However, whether these point-of-care platelet function tests provide predictive value (i.e. correlate with clinical outcomes) and the allocation of the "best" or most suitable point-of-care Platelet function assay to determine the level of inhibition of platelet function remains to be established.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stable Angina Pectoris, run by R&D Cardiologie at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 11 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00352014, which also lists 3 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 11 Apr 2018.
