Trial summary

The impact of anti-platelet drugs on the concentrations of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in human plasma and serum is unknown. It is the aim of this study to investigate the impact of a single dose of Aspirin (500 mg) or Clopdigrel (600 mg) on the concentrations of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)… Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aspirin and ClopidogrelDrug

    Intake of 500 mg Aspirin on day 1. Intake of 600 mg Clopidogrel on day 28. Blood collection for the measurement of platelet inhibition, platelet counts and BDNF, TGF-beta, 5-HT concentrations in peripheral blood on day 1 (before intake of 500 mg Aspirin), day 2 (24 hours after intake of 500 mg Aspirin), day 28 (before intake of 600 mg Clopidogrel), day 29 (24 hours after intake of 600 mg Clopidogrel).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aspirin and Clopidogrel in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by University of Rostock at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

BDNF plasma and serum concentration 24 hours after Aspirin or Clopidgrel intake (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT01264640, 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 22 Dec 2010.
