About this study

Official title: The MAgnitude of Platelet Inhibition and the Pharmacokinetics of a 600 mg Loading Dose of Clopidogrel, in Different Patient CATegories (Stable Angina Versus Acute-coronary Syndromes Versus ST-elevated Myocardial Infarction).

Recent studies have demonstrated a marked interindividual variability of clopidogrel's capacity to inhibit platelet aggregation with a substantial proportion (11-34%) of the patients considered non-responders to clopidogrel treatment. Variable intestinal absorption is suggested to contribute to the inconsistencies in response to clopidogrel. However, little is known about intestinal absorption in subjects who had suffered from a stent thrombosis. The MAPCAT-study has been designed to investigate whether plasma pharmacokinetics (represented by Cmax, Tmax and the AUC) after a 600 mg loading dose are significantly different between subjects who have suffered a stent thrombosis and subjects who have not suffered a stent thrombosis.

Read the detailed description

Objectives:

The first objective of the MAPCAT-study is to investigate whether plasma pharmacokinetics (Cmax, Tmax and AUC) of an additional 600 mg loading dose are impaired in patients with a history of stent thrombosis.

The second objective of the MAPCAT study is to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in receptors, enzymes and ligands involved in the process of thrombosis and haemostasis as well in the conversion-process of clopidogrel into its metabolites do have influence on both the absolute magnitude of platelet inhibition and Cmax, Tmax and AUC.

What participants receive

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

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Also called Plavix

    both arms of the study (patients with a history of stent thrombosis as well as patients who did not suffer from a stent thrombosis) will be given a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentrations of unchanged clopidogrel, its active thiol metabolite and its inactive carboxyl metabolite between the different patient groups after the administration of a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel.

    Measured: 6 hours after the administration of a 600mg loading dose of clopidogrel

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The magnitude of platelet reactivity as measured with several commercial available platelet function tests before and 6 hours after the ingestion of the loading dose.

    Measured: platelet reactivity measured at baseline and 6 hours after a 600 mg clopidogrel loading dose.

  2. Exploratory Endpoint: prevalence of various genetic polymorphisms that might influence the pharmacokinetics of clopidogrel

    Measured: blood obtained for genetic sampeling at timepoint of first study blood collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Stent Thrombosis, run by St. Antonius Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 inclusion and 14 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 23 Aug 2011. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Plasma concentrations of unchanged clopidogrel, its active thiol metabolite and its inactive carboxyl metabolite between the different patient groups after the administration of a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel. (time frame: 6 hours after the administration of a 600mg loading dose of clopidogrel). 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 NCT01012544, which also lists 6 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 23 Aug 2011; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
