About this study

Official title: Prasugrel in Comparison to High Clopidogrel Dose for Inhibition of Platelet Reactivity as Assessed With a Point-of-Care Platelet Function Assay in Patients Undergoing Chronic Hemodialysis Presenting Resistance to the Usual Clopidogrel Dose

Clopidogrel administration is essential in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, in patients with previous stroke, in patients under chronic hemodialysis via fistulae and in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation if coumarin administration is not a viable option. Patients with chronic renal failure present lower clopidogrel response compared to those with normal renal function. Additionally, hemodialysis via the dialysis filter causes a decrease in glycoprotein platelet receptors, potentially associated with thienopyridine hyporesponsiveness. Clopidogrel resistant patients as assessed by VerifyNow P2Y12(Accumetrics)will be randomized in 1:1 fashion to prasugrel 10mg/day or clopidogrel 150mg/day. On day 15±2 days a crossover directly to the alternate treatment group will be carried out, without an interventing washout period. All patients will undergo platelet reactivity assessment, documentation of major adverse cardiac events and documentation of any serious adverse events(stroke, bleeding)at day 15 and day 30.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in people with Hemodialysis and Chronic Renal Failure, 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 15 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 16 Nov 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 30). 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 NCT01155765, 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 16 Nov 2010.
