About this study

Official title: Study of Policosanol to Improve High on Clopidogrel Platelet Reactivity After Percutaneous Coronary Stent Implantation(Spirit)

Thrombotic event is one of the most serious complications of coronary artery disease, which often result in myocardial infarction and even death. Even according to the standard guidelines for antiplatelet therapy, there are still 6% to 15% of patients occur thrombotic events, in high-risk patients, the proportion is higher, this phenomenon is called anti-platelet drug resistance in clinical practice

The aim of this multicenter prospective, randomized, controlled study is to observed policosanol on aspirin or clopidogrel resistance in patients with platelet aggregation after Percutaneous Coronary Stent Implantation (PCI) and occurrence of platelet aggregation and short-term prognosis to find new ways to the prevention of platelet aggregation .

What is being measured

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

  1. reversion rate of HPR

    reversion was defined as platelet aggregation <65%

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. major adverse cardiovascular events

    including cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Stent thrombosis and TIMI bleeding events

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing high maintenance clopidogrel, routine dual antiplatelet and policosanol plus dual antiplatelet in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Shenyang Northern Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 14 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 16 Dec 2015. 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 China. 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?

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?

reversion rate of HPR (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 16 Dec 2015.
