What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) to 20 Micromolar (µM) Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) at Day 12 (Period 1)

    MPA to 20 micromolar (μM) ADP was assessed by light transmission aggregometry (LTA), an assay that measures platelet aggregation by determining the amount of light transmitted through a cuvette containing platelet-rich plasma stimulated with a platelet activator, such as ADP, relative to platelet-poor plasma (100% light transmittance). A lower MPA reflects stronger platelet inhibition, whereas a higher MPA reflects weaker inhibition.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 12

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in Vasodilator-Associated Stimulated Phosphoprotein (VASP) at Day 12 of Therapy

    VASP phosphorylation levels, expressed as the platelet reactivity index (PRI), reflect the degree of thienopyridine-mediated P2Y12 receptor inhibition and were used to compare prasugrel versus clopidogrel, in low body weight (LBW) participants compared to higher body weight (HBW) participants. PRI was calculated by VASP. The PRI indicates the level of P2Y12 receptor inhibition. A lower PRI reflects stronger inhibition of P2Y12 receptor thus stronger platelet inhibition, whereas a higher PRI reflects weaker inhibition of P2Y12 receptor and weaker platelet inhibition.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 12

  2. Change From Baseline in VerifyNow® P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) at Day 12 of Therapy

    The Accumetrics VerifyNow® P2Y12 assay measures platelet aggregation in whole blood and is reported in PRU. PRU indicates the extent of P2Y12 receptor-mediated platelet aggregation calculated as a function of rate and extent of platelet aggregation in an adenosine phosphate (ADP)-containing channel of the device. A lower PRU reflects stronger inhibition of platelet aggregation, whereas a higher PRU reflects weaker inhibition of platelet aggregation.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 12

  3. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis of the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC)

    A pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) analysis comparing MPA (LTA) and AUC was conducted as originally intended, however the graphic output is not possible here. Therefore, the PK portion is presented here as AUC and the PD portion is presented in Secondary Outcome Measure #5. AUC was calculated through the last scheduled sampling time of 4 hours [AUC (0-4)] or through the sampling time of the last quantifiable concentration prior to 4 hours. AUC values were denoted AUC(0-tlast) in both instances.

    Measured: baseline (pre-dose) up to 4 hours post-dose

  4. Change From Baseline in Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) as Measured by Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTA) at Day 12 of Therapy

    MPA to 20 micromolar (μM) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was assessed by LTA, an assay that measures platelet aggregation by determining the amount of light transmitted through a cuvette containing platelet-rich plasma stimulated with a platelet activator, such as ADP, relative to platelet-poor plasma (100% light transmittance). A lower MPA reflects stronger platelet inhibition, whereas a higher MPA reflects weaker inhibition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing prasugrel and clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 6 sites in 4 countries.

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 11 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 30 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, Sweden, Ireland, 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 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 30 Aug 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?

Change From Baseline in Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) to 20 Micromolar (µM) Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) at Day 12 (Period 1) (time frame: Baseline, Day 12). 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 NCT01107925, which also lists 2 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 30 Aug 2012.
