About this study

Official title: A 30 Day International, Randomized, Parallel-group, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase IV Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Pre-hospital vs. In-hospital Initiation of Ticagrelor Therapy in STEMI Patients Planned for PCI.

The aim of this study is to determine whether initiation of ticagrelor as early as in the ambulance setting leads to a rapid reperfusion of the infarct-related artery therefore facilitating the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and optimizing the outcome for the patient.

The study will assess the efficacy and safety of pre-hospital compared to in-hospital administration of ticagrelor in co-administration with aspirin, on restoring the blood flow in the occluded heart artery and improving the myocardial perfusion in patients suffering from myocardial infarction and planned to have a PCI. Patients can be randomised in either one of the 2 arms:

re-hospital ticagrelor arm: Patients will receive a loading dose of 180 mg ticagrelor for the pre-hospital administration and placebo for in-hospital administration.

or In-hospital ticagrelor arm: Patients will receive a placebo for pre-hospital administration and 180 mg ticagrelor loading dose for in-hospital administration.

Patients are initially managed by ambulance physician/personnel in pre hospital settings. They are then transferred into a Catheterization room to undergo a PCI.

After the administration of the loading dose of ticagrelor (double blind), patients will continue on ticagrelor 90 mg bid and be followed in study for 30 days post randomisation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Flow Grade 3 of MI Culprit Vessel at Initial Angiography (Co-primary Endpoint)

    (TIMI) flow grade classification is used to assess coronary blood flow in acute coronary syndromes. grade 0:no reperfusion, grade 1: penetration without perfusion, grade 2: Partial reperfusion, grade 3: complete perfusion.

    Measured: At initial angiography, pre PCI

  2. ST-segment Elevation Resolution Pre PCI ≥70% (Co-primary Endpoint)

    ST segment elevation resolution is the mean ST elevation pre-hospital minus the mean STelevation pre-PCI divided by the mean ST elevation pre-hospital. It is expressed as a percentage and split in 2 categories , complete (≥70%) versus incomplete (<70%) resolution.

    Measured: Between baseline and PCI

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. 1st Composite Clinical Endpoint

    death/MI/stroke/urgent revascularization/stent thrombosis. Adjudicated events except death

    Measured: during the 30 days of treatment

  2. 2nd Composite Clinical Endpoint

    Death/MI/urgent revascularization. Adjudicated events except death

    Measured: within 30 days of study

  3. Definite Stent Thrombosis

    Definite stent thrombosis is considered to have occurred by either angiographic or pathologic confirmation. It is an adjudicated endpoint

    Measured: during 30 days of treatment

  4. TIMI Flow Grade 3 Post -PCI

    TIMI) flow grade 3 is complete perfusion post-PCI.

    Measured: at coroangiography post-PCI

  5. ST Segment Elevation Resolution Post-PCI >= 70%

    ST segment elevation resolution post PCI >=70% is defined as complete resolution

    Measured: Between baseline and ECG 60 mn post-PCI

  6. Thrombotic Bail-out With GPIIb/IIIa Inhibitors at Initial PCI

    Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors are often used as a rescue or bailout therapy to manage complications arising during percutaneous coronary intervention.

    Measured: during PCI

  7. Major Bleeds Within 48 Hours

    non CABG related bleeds, (PLATO definition) include Life threatening and other major bleeds

    Measured: within 48 hours of first dose

  8. Minor and Major Bleedings Within 48 Hours

    non CABG related bleeds (PLATO definition)

    Measured: within 48 hours of first dose

  9. Major Bleeds After 48 Hours

    non CABG related bleeds (PLATO definition) include life threatening and other major bleedings

    Measured: after 48hours post-first dose

  10. Minor and Major Bleeds After 48 Hours

    non CABG related bleeds (PLATO definition)

    Measured: after 48 hours post first dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ticagrelor in people with Myocardial Infarction and Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), run by AstraZeneca at 96 sites in 13 countries.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 96 sites in France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Italy and 8 more countries. 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 11 Feb 2015). 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?

Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Flow Grade 3 of MI Culprit Vessel at Initial Angiography (Co-primary Endpoint) (time frame: At initial angiography, pre PCI). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01347580, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 Jul 2015.
