Trial summary

Laboratory clopidogrel resistance is associated with adverse atherothrombotic events in patients with coronary artery disease. In the proposed study we wish to prospectively assess the effect of reloading with 600 mg clopidogrel, and administer maintenance treatment with clopidogrel 150 mg/day for one month in a group… Read more about this study

About this study

Laboratory clopidogrel resistance is associated with adverse atherothrombotic events in patients with coronary artery disease. In the proposed study we wish to prospectively assess the effect of reloading with 600 mg clopidogrel, and administer maintenance treatment with clopidogrel 150 mg/day for one month in a group of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who demonstrate non-responsiveness to clopidogrel.

Read the detailed description

Prior studies have demonstrated significant variability in platelet response to clopidogrel in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Up to 25% of patients have been shown to be non-responders to a conventional dose of clopidogrel. This phenomenon has been associated with higher incidence of recurrent cardiovascular (CVS) adverse events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and higher incidence of peri-procedural myocardial damage, thrombotic complications, and ischemic events in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Both the ex-vivo anti-platelet effect and the clinical benefit of clopidogrel are dose related. Moreover, in patients sustaining ACS while on maintenance clopidogrel treatment, reloading with 600 mg clopidogrel, resulted in further reduction in platelet aggregation, although the patients were not non-responders. Despite this, the effect of dose escalation has never been examined in patients resistant to clopidogrel. In the present study we wish to assess prospectively the effect of reloading with 600 mg clopidogrel, and double dose maintenance treatment (150 mg/day) for one month in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who demonstrate non-respondese to clopidogrel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing clopidogrel in people with Clopidogrel Non-Responsiveness, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 4 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 20 Sep 2007. 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 Israel. 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?

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?

Platelet reactivity. 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 20 Sep 2007.
