About this study

Official title: An Exploratory, Multi-Center, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study to Evaluate the Discontinuation Effect of Clopidogrel After Drug Eluting Stent (DECADES) on Inflammatory and Platelet Activation Markers in Subjects Who Are Receiving Low Dose Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA)

The purpose of the study is to look at the biomarkers of inflammation and platelet activation in patients with drug eluting stents implanted approximately 12 months ago on aspirin and statin, for a 4-week period after the routine discontinuation of clopidogrel

What is being measured

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

  1. Adjusted Mean Percent Changes From Baseline in Soluble CD40 Ligand (sCD40L)

    Based on ANCOVA models performed on log scale controlling for site \& natural logarithm of baseline soluble CD40 Ligand value. Percent changes from baseline can be interpreted as the difference of biomarker timepoint value minus baseline value divided by baseline value. Positive percent change might indicate possible enhanced platelet activation.

    Measured: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 (primary timepoint)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Adjusted Mean Percent Changes From Baseline in Plasma Soluble P-Selectin

    Based on ANCOVA models performed on log scale controlling for site and natural logarithm of baseline Plasma Soluble P-selectin value. Percent changes from baseline can be interpreted as difference of biomarker timepoint value minus baseline value divided by baseline value. Positive percent change is known to be mediated by increases in sCD40L.

    Measured: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4

  2. Adjusted Mean Percent Changes From Baseline in Hs-CRP

    ANCOVA models performed on log scale controlling for site \& natural logarithm of baseline hs-CRP. Back-transformed mean percent changes are presented. Percent changes from baseline can be interpreted as difference of biomarker timepoint value - baseline value ÷ baseline value. Since there is no measure of platelet inhibition or overall thrombogenicity assay presented here, a negative percent change for this measure can not be judged on its own as indicating improvement.

    Measured: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4

  3. Adverse Events (AE) / Serious Adverse Events (SAE)Deaths, and AEs Leading to Discontinuation of Follow-up

    An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered an investigational (medicinal) product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event.

    Measured: Throughout 4-week follow-up period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Blood Collection in people with Antiplatelet Aggregation, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 6 sites in 4 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 6 inclusion and 0 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 10 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Aug 2009). 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?

Adjusted Mean Percent Changes From Baseline in Soluble CD40 Ligand (sCD40L) (time frame: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4 (primary timepoint)). 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 NCT00493779, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Aug 2010.
