Trial summary

The purpose of this study was to assess whether interpatient variability in the platelet response to clopidogrel is partly due to polymorphisms of the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP450)3A and of the clopidogrel-P2Y12 receptor genes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of the H2 Haplotype and CYP3As Polymorphisms on the Antiplatelet Response to Clopidogrel Given Before Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The purpose of this study was to assess whether interpatient variability in the platelet response to clopidogrel is partly due to polymorphisms of the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP450)3A and of the clopidogrel-P2Y12 receptor genes.

Read the detailed description

Clopidogrel owes its antiplatelet effect to irreversible inhibition of the purinergic platelet receptor, P2Y12. It is estimated that approximately 4%-30% of patients treated with conventional doses of clopidogrel do not display adequate platelet response. Moreover, patients with low response to clopidogrel may be at higher risk for atherothrombotic events. Clopidogrel, being a prodrug, requires oxidation by the hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP450)3A to generate an active metabolite.The level of CYP3A4 activity has been shown to correlate with the inhibitory effect of clopidogrel on platelet aggregation in healthy volunteers. However, CYP3As expression and activity vary among individuals. It is estimated that most of this variability is caused by individual genetic makeup.Polymorphisms of the P2Y12 receptor may also play a role in the variability in clopidogrel response. The P2Y12-H2 haplotype was associated with higher maximal platelet aggregation in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as compared to the P2Y12-H1 haplotype probably due to an increase in the number of receptors on the platelet surface. It has also been suggested that carriers of the H2 haplotype might be at higher risk of developing peripheral artery disease.

Comparisons: Presence of CYP3A5 polymorphism and of the H2 haplotype compared to absence of these polymorphisms on the antiplatelet response to clopidogrel across a wide range of clopidogrel dosing regimens in patients with suspected or demonstrated coronary artery disease (CAD) scheduled to undergo elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Platelet aggregation was measured by optical aggregometry with (ADP) 20 μmol/L as the agonist in patients before clopidogrel initiation and at the time of diagnostic coronary angiography. Genotyping was performed by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to identify expressors of CYP3A5 and P2Y12 H2 haplotype carriers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clopidogrel, Blood sampling - platelet aggregation and Blood sampling - genotyping in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by Centre Integre Universitaire de Sante et Services Sociaux du Nord de l'ile de Montreal at 1 site in Canada.

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 11 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 21 Aug 2012. 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 Canada. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of CYP3A5 polymorphisms and of the H2 haplotype on the inhibitory effect of clopidogrel on platelet aggregation at the time of diagnostic coronary angiography as measured by optical aggregometry with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) 20 μmol/L. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Aug 2012.
