  • UCR or Accumetrics employees or investigator site personnel directly affiliated with this study, and their immediate families. Immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted.
  • Cardiovascular Exclusion Criteria:
  • Subjects with unstable coronary artery disease, defined as new, increased, or rest angina at screening.

  • Bleeding Risk Exclusion Criteria:
  • Any known contraindication to treatment with an anticoagulant or antiplatelet agent.
  • Prior history or presence of significant bleeding disorders (for example,hematemesis, melena, severe or recurrent epistaxis, hemoptysis, hematuria, or intraocular bleeding)
  • Prior history or clinical suspicion of cerebral vascular malformations
  • Prior history of abnormal bleeding tendency (i.e. prolonged bleeding on dental extraction, tonsillectomy, or previous surgical procedure).
  • Personal or family history of coagulation or bleeding disorders.
  • Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000/mm3) or thrombocytosis (platelet count > 500,000/mm3).
  • History of major surgery, severe trauma, organ biopsy within 3 months prior to enrollment.

About this study

Official title: TOPAS-1, A Pharmacodynamic Phase II Study of Clopidogrel P2Y12 Platelet Inhibition

The primary objective of this study is to establish a cut off level of platelet inhibition that separates patients with or without previous stent occlusion with acute clinical onset while on aspirin and clopidogrel treatment within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.

Read the detailed description

To establish cut off levels of platelet inhibition using ADP-induced P2Y12-receptor mediated platelet aggregation using Accumetrics VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (PRU) and Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP, PRI %)for patients with experienced stent occlusion with acute clinical onset and/or myocardial infarction within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.

What participants receive

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

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Also called Plavix

    Patients not already on clopidogrel treatment a loading dose of clopidogrel 600 mg followed by a maintenance dose of 75 mg once daily will be administered.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by Uppsala University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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 13 Apr 2010. 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 Sweden. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 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?

VerifyNow P2Y12 (PRU) (time frame: Within 6 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 13 Apr 2010.
