Trial summary

This study will explore the effect of clopidogrel on coated-platelets in patients who are given a loading dose before diagnostic catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention. We hypothesis that clopidogrel will reduce the percentage of platelets that are coated and therefore more hypercoagulable. Read more about this study

About this study

This study will explore the effect of clopidogrel on coated-platelets in patients who are given a loading dose before diagnostic catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention. We hypothesis that clopidogrel will reduce the percentage of platelets that are coated and therefore more hypercoagulable.

Read the detailed description

Platelet activity will be determined by light transmission aggregometry at baseline, after a 300 mg dose of clopidogrel and after the catheterization and/or angioplasty procedure. The change in the percentage of platelets that are coated platelets will be determined.

What participants receive

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

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Also called Plavix

    All subjects will receive a 300 mg loading dose

What is being measured

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

  1. The Percentage of Coated Platelets After the Administration of Clopidogrel in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization and/or Angioplasty

    The percentage of platelets that are collagen coated after the administration of clopidogrel.

    Measured: 24 hours after the administration of clopidotrel

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Percentage of Coated Platelets After Coronary Angiography and/or PCI

    The percentage of coated platelets 24 hours after coronary angiography and/or PCI

    Measured: 6 hrs after procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Chest Pain, run by University of Oklahoma 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2011. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Oct 2011). 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?

The Percentage of Coated Platelets After the Administration of Clopidogrel in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization and/or Angioplasty (time frame: 24 hours after the administration of clopidotrel). 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 7 Oct 2011.
