About this study

Official title: Assessment of Platelet-dependent Thrombosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Using an ex Vivo Arterial Injury Model

The purpose of this study is to assess platelet dependent thrombogenicity in patients after acute coronary syndrome using an ex vivo arterial injury model.

Read the detailed description

Abnormal platelet activity seen in patients with Type2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) may be an important contributor to their enhanced cardiovascular risk and higher rates of cardiovascular events following acute coronary syndrome, despite dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. We have earlier demonstrated high thrombogenicity in individuals with T2DM and CAD in the absence of acute ischaemic events, despite therapeutic doses of aspirin.We hypothesise that patients with T2DM will have increased thrombogenicity after acute coronary syndrome despite optimal secondary prevention medication.Measuring ex vivo thrombus area using an arterial injury model simulates plaque rupture and reflects the summative effect of all haemostatic abnormalities. The thrombus area of patients with ACS and T2DM will be compared to the controls without T2DM.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT00728286
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Type 2 diabetes mellitusWe aim to determine the effects of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 75mg once a day and clopidogrel 75mg once a day on platelet dependent thrombogenicity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome. Eighty patients (40 with type 2 diabetes and 40 without) have been studied one week after Non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome. All patients were on secondary prevention therapy as recommended by international guidelines.

What is being measured

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

  1. Thrombus area

    Measured: Within 10 days after acute coronary syndrome

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Factors affecting thrombus area

    Measured: Within ten days after acute coronary syndrome

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hospitals NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 12 Oct 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 Kingdom. 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?

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?

Thrombus area (time frame: Within 10 days after acute coronary syndrome). 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 NCT00728286, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 12 Oct 2015.
