Trial summary

In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CAGB) surgery, aspirin is commonly prescribed to prevent graft thrombosis and myocardial ischemia. However, there are still a significant number of grafts occluding in the postoperative period. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Cohort Study on the Outcome of Patients With Normal and Reduced Acetylsalicylic Acid Responsiveness Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CAGB) surgery, aspirin is commonly prescribed to prevent graft thrombosis and myocardial ischemia. However, there are still a significant number of grafts occluding in the postoperative period. This is partly attributed to reduced aspirin responsiveness, also called "aspirin resistance". At the moment, no standardized definition or laboratory test is available to quantify "aspirin resistance", and strong platelet reactivity in laboratory tests is not necessarily associated with increased thrombotic events. However, there is increasing evidence that reduced aspirin responsiveness in platelet function analyzers is associated with adverse long-term outcome and higher incidence of major adverse events in patients with stable coronary artery disease and in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, the predictive value of a laboratory finding of reduced aspirin responsiveness remains unclear.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate whether the pre- and/or postoperative laboratory finding of reduced aspirin responsiveness defined by MultiplateTM platelet function analyzer is associated with higher incidences of adverse outcome after 30 days and 12 months in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Triple Vessel and Myocardial Ischemia, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 9 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 10 Mar 2015. 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 Switzerland. 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.

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?

Death and/or major cardiac or thromboembolic events (time frame: 12 months after cardiac surgery). 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 10 Mar 2015.
