About this study

The investigators examine the influence of esomeprazole versus famotidine on antiplatelet action of clopidogrel associated with aspirin. At least 100 consecutive patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome or undergoing coronary artery stent implantation , who received aspirin (80 - 160 mg/day) and clopidogrel (300 mg loading dose, followed by 75 mg/day or 75mg/day for at least 7 consecutive days), are randomised to receive either esomeprazole 20 mg daily vs famotidine 40 mg daily in a double blinded manner. Clopidogrel effect was tested by measuring residual platelet reactivity (RPR) to ADP by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (Accumetrics Inc, San Diego, Calif). At baseline, whole blood will be obtained for RPR at least 12 h after clopidogrel loading dose or at least 7 days of maintaince dose. Immediately obtaining the baseline blood, patients will be randomized to receive either esomeprazole (20 mg/day) or famotidine 40 mg/day for 28 days. Double blinding will be performed by encapsulation of study drugs. RPR will be measured again at the 28th day.

The investigators will compare the % inhibition and the P2Y12 reaction Units (PRU) at the 28-day treatment period in the 2 groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing esomeprazole 20 mg daily and famotidine 40 mg daily in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Ruttonjee Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 10 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 5 Oct 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 China. 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?

P2Y12 reaction units (time frame: 28 days). 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 NCT01062516, 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 5 Oct 2010.
