Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Seventy five subjects (25 patients undergoing elective PCI for stable CAD and 50 patients undergoing urgent PCI for AMI(25 receiving clopidogrel and 25 receiving prasugrel - as determined by the treating physicians)

Who may be able to join

  • Patient >18 years old.
  • Patient scheduled to undergo PCI for either stable CAD or AMI:
  • Stable CAD defined as negative cardiac isoenzymes prior to the PCI as well as no resting ECG changes indicative of ACS.
  • AMI defined as positive cardiac isoenzymes prior to the PCI and/or resting ECG changes indicative of ACS.
  • 3. Patients treated with a loading dose of clopidogrel at least 6 hours prior to the blood draw or on a maintenance dose of clopidogrel (of at least 75mg QD) for a minimum of 5 days.

Who cannot join

  • Known allergies to aspirin, clopidogrel, or prasugrel
  • Use of a glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor within 8 hours of the blood draw;
  • Patient known to be pregnant or lactating;
  • Patient with known history of bleeding diathesis or currently active bleeding;
  • Platelet count <100,000/mm the day of the blood draw;
  • Hematocrit <25% the day of the blood draw;
Show all 11Show fewer
  • On warfarin therapy at the time of the blood draw or the need for warfarin therapy in the subsequent month following the blood draw;
  • Known blood transfusion within the preceding 10 days of the blood draw;
  • Patient who has received NSAID (not including ASA) within preceding 24 hours of the blood draw;
  • Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock;
  • Any significant medical condition, which in the investigator's opinion may interfere with the patient's optimal participation in the study.

About this study

This study is being done to learn more about platelet reactivity (how well the small cells in the bloodstream work) in people who undergo Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable and unstable (acute myocardial infarction) indications. Stable means you have not demonstrated any acute injury to your heart prior to your PCI; unstable means you have demonstrated some acute injury to your heart prior to your PCI. The investigators intend to determine if there is a change in platelet reactivity from the time of PCI to 30days post-PCI and does this change differ depending upon the conduction in which you present for PCI. This is going to be done with a variety of platelet reactivity assays.

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet function

    The primary endpoint will be whether the results of platelet function assays used to measure response to clopidogrel and prasugrel therapy is similar amongst patients with stable CAD and those with AMI undergoing PCI. On-treatment platelet reactivity will be measured using the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. On-treatment platelet reactivity

    A secondary endpoint will be to determine on-treatment platelet reactivity at the same time points using:

    • The vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation assay; and/or
    • The Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, which measures platelet aggregation (via optical density or electrical impedance) in response to ADP stimulation.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Medstar Health Research Institute 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 5 inclusion and 11 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 1 Nov 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.

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?

Platelet function (time frame: 30 days). 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 1 Nov 2013.
