About this study

Official title: REsponsiveness to CLOpidogrel and Stent-related Events in Acute Coronary. Reclose 2-ACS Registry

The main objective of the project is to assess the long-term prognostic impact of residual platelet reactivity after optimal antiplatelet therapy in a large cohort of patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing invasive strategy.

Follow-up length will be at least 24 months. The primary end-point of the study will be a composite of death, myocardial infarction, urgent target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis or stroke.

Read the detailed description

This study is mainly based on a registry of 2000 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome who received invasive treatment and for whom platelet reactivity after clopidogrel treatment will be prospectively assessed.

In the acute phase, blood samples for platelet reactivity assessment will be obtained 12 to 18 hours from 600 mg clopidogrel loading. Platelet-rich plasma, obtained by centrifuging whole blood for 10 min at 200 g, was stimulated with 10 M adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) and residual aggregation will be assessed using a APACT 4 light transmittance aggregometer. Platelet aggregation (according to the Born's method) will be evaluated considering the maximal percentage of platelet aggregation in response to stimulus. Patients with platelet aggregation by 10 µmol ADP ≥ 90th percentile of controls (70%) will be defined as non-responders. The assessment of platelet reactivity will be repeated at 6 months. The importance of concomitant aspirin resistance will be also evaluated in such of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Cardiac Syndrome and Stent Thrombosis, run by Careggi Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 25 Jul 2011. 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 Italy. 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?

long-term prognostic impact of residual platelet reactivity (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT01231035, 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 25 Jul 2011.
