About this study

Official title: Resistance to Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients Undergoing Angioplasty and Stenting for Cardiovascular Disease - Vienna REACT

Clopidogrel plays a pivotal role in the antithrombotic regimen after percutaneous intervention with stent implantation. However, response to clopidogrel shows a wide interindividual variability and a high on-treatment residual ADP-inducible platelet reactivity has already been associated with an increased risk for adverse events after coronary stenting. In the present study, platelet reactivity will be determined by 6 different platelet function tests in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy after angioplasty and stenting for peripheral, coronary and carotid artery disease. One hundred patients showing high on-treatment residual ADP-inducible platelet reactivity in 2 or more tests will be randomized to receive either 75mg or 150mg of daily clopidogrel in addition to aspirin for 3 months. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of intensified antithrombotic therapy (150mg clopidogrel + 100mg aspirin daily) versus standard antithrombotic therapy (75mg clopidogrel + 100mg aspirin daily) in patients with decreased clopidogrel-mediated platelet inhibition after percutaneous intervention with stent implantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing aspirin and clopidogrel in people with Atherosclerosis and Angioplasty, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 12 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 Dec 2012. 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 Austria. 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?

Occurence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Dec 2012.
