About this study

Current guidelines recommend the addition of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) to patients taking double anti-platelet therapy (Aspirin and Clopidogrel) to prevent upper GI bleeding1. Many post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients are treated with dual anti-platelet medications as well as PPI to prevent upper GI bleeding.

Recently, it was shown that PPI interact with the P450 system in the liver and reduce the platelet inhibitory effect of Clopidogrel2,3. Clopidogrel is activated by CYP2C19, which also metabolizes PPI4. Furthermore, a recent article showed increased mortality in patients taking PPI and clopidogrel compared with patients taking clopidogrel without PPI protection5. The degree of reduction in the platelet inhibitory properties of clopidogrel might vary among the different PPI4.

The use of PPI for GI protection in patients treated with dual anti-platelet therapy is not based on randomized trials, but rather on expert opinion. Since H2 blockers are also effective in preventing acid secretion and are not known to interact with the P450 system that affects clopidogrel, the investigators hypothesized that these group of drugs will not interfere with the positive antiplatelet effects of clopidogrel and therefore will offer a good alternative treatment option.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing omeprazole, 20mg twice daily, famotidine 40mg twice daily and pantoprazole 40mg once daily in people with Coronary Heart Disease and GI Bleeding, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 3 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 7 Jul 2016. 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 Israel. 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 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?

Platelet function as assessed by a CPA system (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 NCT00950339, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2016.
