Trial summary

The use of dual antiplatelet therapy is considered standard of care in patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting. However, a significant proportion of patients is considered clopidogrel resistant and this resistance is shown to be accompanied by future adverse events. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Study of Prasugrel vs High Dose (150 mg) Clopidogrel in Clopidogrel Resistant Patients Post Coronary Angioplasty.

The use of dual antiplatelet therapy is considered standard of care in patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting. However, a significant proportion of patients is considered clopidogrel resistant and this resistance is shown to be accompanied by future adverse events. Additionally, clopidogrel resistance has been linked with the CYP2C19 polymorphism. The hypothesis of the study is to define in consecutive patients undergoing PCI those that are clopidogrel resistant PCI following routinely used loading as estimated predischarge with the VerifyNow point of care system of platelet reactivity. Clopidogrel resistant patients will be randomized in 1:1 fashion to prasugrel 10 mg or clopidogrel 150mg daily. Platelet reactivity will be assessed at day 30, when treatment crossover will be performed. At day 60 platelet reactivity will be determined as well. In addition, in all patients genetic determination of CYP polymorphisms (including the CYP2C19)known to affect clopidogrel metabolism will be performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing prasugrel and clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), run by University of Patras at 1 site in Greece.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 24 Aug 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 Greece. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Platelet Reactivity Units (PRU) assessed by VerifyNow P2Y12(Accumetrics) (time frame: Day 60). 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 NCT01109784, 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 24 Aug 2010.
