About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of high dose clopidogrel as the antiplatelet therapy on inhibition of platelet aggregation in Japanese patients scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention due to ischemic heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Dual antiplatelet therapy of aspirin and thienopyridine is used to prevent stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clopidogrel is the most popular thienopyridine. Following the 300mg clopidogrel loading dose (LD) at first day, patients take 75mg maintenance dose (MD) to inhibit platelet aggregation after coronary stent implantation. 600mg high LD inhibit platelet aggregation more rapidly and strongly than standard LD and prevent thrombotic event around the PCI. Similarly high MD inhibit platelet aggregation more strongly. Interindividual variability of clopidogrel anti-platelet effect has been reported. In Japanese, there are many non or hyporesponders to clopidogrel compared to the Western population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of high dose clopidogrel as the antiplatelet therapy on inhibition of platelet aggregation in Japanese patients scheduled for PCI due to ischemic heart disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Takeshi Morimoto at 1 site in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 11 Jan 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 Japan. 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?

Inhibition of platelet aggregation 24 hours after loading (time frame: 24 hours). 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 Jan 2016.
