What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Returning to Baseline Platelet Function

    Participants were classified as having platelet function return to baseline after loading dose (LD) on the first day that P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) was no more than 60 PRU below baseline and remained in this range. PRU was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet aggregation.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. The Day on Which 50%, 75% and 90% of Subjects Return to Baseline Platelet Function Following a Single LD of 30-mg or 60-mg Prasugrel or 600-mg Clopidogrel

    This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the limited sample size.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  2. The Day When the Proportion of Participants Who Return to Baseline Platelet Function in the 30-mg and 60-mg Prasugrel Groups is Similar to the 600-mg Clopidogrel Group at Day 5 and Day 7

    The day at which the proportion of participants who return to baseline platelet P2Y12 receptor function in the prasugrel 30 mg and 60 mg LD groups is similar (within 10% absolute difference) to the proportion of subjects who return to baseline platelet P2Y12 receptor function at day 5 and day 7 in the clopidogrel 600 mg LD group, obtained from Kaplan Meier curves for the primary washout population, was to be presented. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the limited sample size.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  3. Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function Following One Loading Dose (LD)

    The return of baseline platelet function following one LD of prasugrel (30 mg or 60 mg) or 600 mg LD of clopidogrel assessed by Verify Now™ P2Y12 Reaction Units (VN-PRU). This outcome measure was not analyzed because it was not appropriate to estimate the days based on the non-inferiority approach due to the limited sample size.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  4. Effect of Initial Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation on the Day to Return to Baseline Platelet Function: VN-PRU

    To show effect of initial inhibition of platelet aggregation as measured by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12 on the day to return to baseline platelet function, a regression model was fitted with day to return as outcome variable and initial inhibition as fixed effect. Results are reported as the predicted day to return to baseline platelet function by derived VN-PRU percent (%) inhibition at 24 hours post LD. The derived VN-PRU % inhibition is calculated as a percent decrease of PRU from baseline using the following formula: ([PRU at baseline - PRU at 24 hours post LD]/PRU at baseline) x 100%.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  5. Mean Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function in All Treatment Arms (Adjusted for Level of Inhibition 24 Hrs Post-LD) by VN-PRU

    PRU was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet aggregation. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the limited sample size.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  6. Platelet Function 24 Hours Post Loading Dose

    PRU was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of ADP-stimulated platelet aggregation.

    Measured: 24 hours post-loading dose

  7. Percentage of Poor Pharmacodynamic Responders by Platelet Aggregation at 24 Hours Post-LD

    Platelet aggregation was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12, and poor responders were those with PRU greater than or equal to 230.

    Measured: 24 hours post-loading dose

  8. Extent of Initial Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation on the Return of Baseline Platelet Function: Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTA)

    Initial inhibition of platelet aggregation was measured by LTA at 5 and 20 μM ADP. Maximum platelet aggregation (MPA) is reported by day.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  9. Extent of Initial Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function: Multiplate® ADP Test and ADP Test High Sensitivity (HS)

    Return of baseline platelet function was assessed by Multiplate® ADP test and ADP test High Sensitivity (HS). Multiplate analyzer was used to assess platelet aggregation based on impedance aggregometry in whole blood. The agonist ADP was added to stirred whole blood after dilution (1:2 with 0.9% NaCl solution) in a final concentration of 6.4 µM (ADP Test) or in final concentration of 6.4 µM ADP plus 9.4 nM Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (ADPtest HS). Platelet aggregation was continuously recorded for 5 minutes and quantified as area under the aggregation curve (AUC=AU*min) of aggregation units (AU).

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  10. Mean Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function in All Treatment Arms (Adjusted for Level of Inhibition 24 Hours Post-LD) by LTA (5 and 20 μM ADP)

    Maximum platelet aggregation (MPA) to 5 and 20 μM ADP were assessed by LTA. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to limited sample size.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  11. Mean Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function in All Treatment Arms (Adjusted for Level of Inhibition 24 Hrs Post-LD) by Multiplate® ADP Test and ADP Test High Sensitivity (HS)

    The Multiplate analyzer was used to assess platelet aggregation based on impedance aggregometry in whole blood. After adding 6.4 µM ADP (ADP test) or 6.4 µM ADP plus 9.4 nM Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (ADP test HS), area under the aggregation curve (AUC) was calculated. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to limited sample size.

    Measured: Up through 11 days

  12. Platelet Function by LTA at 5 and 20 μM ADP

    MPA to 5 and 20 μM ADP were assessed by LTA.

    Measured: 24 hours post-loading dose

  13. Platelet Function by Multiplate® ADP Test and ADP Test HS

    The Multiplate analyzer was used to assess platelet aggregation based on impedance aggregometry in whole blood. After adding 6.4 µM ADP (ADP test) or 6.4 µM ADP plus 9.4 nM PGE1 (ADP test HS), area under the aggregation curve (AUC) were calculated.

    Measured: 24 hours post-loading dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing clopidogrel and prasugrel in people with Acute Coronary Syndromes, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 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 9 Mar 2012. 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 Germany. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jan 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Returning to Baseline Platelet Function (time frame: Days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11). 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 NCT01107899, 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 9 Mar 2012.
