Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients scheduled to have PTCA

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with existing CAD admitted for elective PTCA:
  • Treated with any dose of aspirin daily for at least 5 days, with special interest in those treated with 81 mg aspirin daily or
  • Treated with an alternative antiplatelet therapy, such as clopidogrel, due to aspirin hypersensitivity or PMDs preference or
  • No aspirin therapy at all
  • Patients presenting to the ER with Acute Coronary Syndrome(ACS)who will have a PTCA
  • Patients with stable angina or positive stress tests scheduled for a cardiac catheterization

Who cannot join

  • History of unstable diabetes (hgb A1c>8 or FBS> 200)
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP > 180, DBP >100)
  • History of an acute confounding disease as judged on clinical screen that according to the investigator may interfere with interpretation of the study results, or compromise the safety of a potential subject.
  • Patients who have taken NSAIDS or COX-2 inhibitors other than aspirin, for at least 10 days prior to PTCA

About this study

Official title: Biosynthesis of PGD2 in Vascular Injury

To investigate the biosynthesis of PGD2 during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedure.

Read the detailed description
  1. To determine whether biosynthesis of PGD2 is altered in response to vascular injury in humans
  2. Patients will be grouped base on their aspirin using status. Three groups of no aspirin but an alternative anti-platelet medicine, low dose (81 mg) aspirin, high dose 325 mg aspirin will be enrolled.
Being tested
No ASA, Low dose ASA, 325 mg ASA
Keywords
Prostaglandins, vascular injury
Medical subject headings
Coronary Artery Disease, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Angina, Stable, Vascular System Injuries

What participants receive

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

  • No ASADrug

    Alternative antiplatelet therapy instead of aspirin

  • Low dose ASADrug

    Low dose aspirin (81mg) prior to PTCA

  • 325 mg ASADrug

    high dose of aspirin prior to PTCA

What is being measured

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

  1. The increment of PGD2 synthesis reflected by an novel biomarker of urinary PGD2 metabolite.

    Measured: 18-48 hours - which includes 24 hours before the procedure through 18 hours after the procedure for a continuous urine collection.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Whether aspirin could blunt the increment of PGD2 if there is.

    Measured: 18-48 hours - which includes 24 hours before the procedure through 18 hours after the procedure for a continuous urine collection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by University of Pennsylvania.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Unable to find subjects that met inclusion/exclusion criteria.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 increment of PGD2 synthesis reflected by an novel biomarker of urinary PGD2 metabolite. (time frame: 18-48 hours - which includes 24 hours before the procedure through 18 hours after the procedure for a continuous urine collection.). 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 11 Jun 2019.
