Trial summary

It is recommended that patients who have drug-eluting stents placed in their coronary arteries take aspirin and Plavix (Clopidogrel) for at least a year. Patients who stop taking these antiplatelet drugs or who have resistance to the antiplatelet effects of these drugs are at a higher risk of clots occurring inside… Read more about this study

About this study

It is recommended that patients who have drug-eluting stents placed in their coronary arteries take aspirin and Plavix (Clopidogrel) for at least a year. Patients who stop taking these antiplatelet drugs or who have resistance to the antiplatelet effects of these drugs are at a higher risk of clots occurring inside the stents which may result in a heart attack. At the present time, it is unknown if increasing the doses of the antiplatelet agents is effective in overcoming this resistance. The purpose of this project is to identify patients with antiplatelet drug resistance and to test whether an increase in the Plavix (Clopidogrel) dose overcomes antiplatelet drug resistance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Plavix (Clopidogrel)Drug

    150 mg tablet of Plavix (Clopidogrel) per day for 12 months if resistance is identified

What is being measured

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

  1. to evaluate the frequency of aspirin and Plavix (Clopidogrel) resistance (as measured by a percent inhibition of platelet aggregation) in patients undergoing coronary drug-eluting stent deployment

    Measured: 3 month intervals up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. to assess if a Plavix (Clopidogrel) dose increase in patients with resistance to both aspirin and Plavix (Clopidogrel) is effective in overcoming antiplatelet drug resistance

    Measured: 3 month intervals up to 12 months

  2. to evaluate the frequency of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with and without antiplatelet resistance and following a dose increase in Plavix (Clopidogrel).

    Measured: 3 month intervals up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Plavix (Clopidogrel) in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Creighton University at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2015. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

to evaluate the frequency of aspirin and Plavix (Clopidogrel) resistance (as measured by a percent inhibition of platelet aggregation) in patients undergoing coronary drug-eluting stent deployment (time frame: 3 month intervals up to 12 months). 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 30 Nov 2015.
