About this study

Official title: Impact of Prasugrel Re-load on Platelet Aggregation in Patients on Chronic Prasugrel Therapy

A higher degree of platelet inhibition remains the goal of peri-interventional and long-term anti-thrombotic therapy in patients with coronary artery disease. In clinical practice, patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation who are already on clopidogrel therapy get re-loaded with clopidogrel. This is based on prior observations showing that higher inhibition of platelet aggregation may be achieved by giving a loading dose of clopidogrel in patients with coronary artery disease while on chronic clopidogrel therapy. However, to date it is unknown if greater inhibition of platelet aggregation can be achieved by adding a prasugrel loading dose in patients on chronic prasugrel therapy. Therefore, understanding the pharmacodynamic implications of a prasugrel re-load strategy in patients on already on chronic prasugrel therapy will be useful.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 12 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 18 Jan 2013. 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 United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 18 Jan 2013). 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?

PRI Levels at 4 Hours (time frame: 4 hours after treatment). 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 NCT01201772, 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 18 Jan 2013.
