Study population: 1000 patients, male or female, older than 18 years of age, who are scheduled for or underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or CABG and have been treated with a loading dose of a thienopyridine or on a maintenance dose of a thienopyridine.

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Level of Thienopyridine Resistance Seen in a Contemporary PCI and CABG Population

The primary objective of this prospective clinical registry is to determine the prevalence and level of thienopyridine resistance seen in a population undergoing contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort study of 1000 patients presenting to the Washington Hospital Center for percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass surgery.

The aim of this prospective clinical registry is to determine the prevalence and level of thienopyridine resistance seen in a population presenting for cardiac catheterization and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Thienopyridine resistance will be measured by flow cytometry of the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation, and/or the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay, and/or the Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, and/or the PlaCor PRT 7000 platelet reactivity assay.

A secondary objective of this study is to correlate a variety of genetic polymorphisms with levels of platelet reactivity.

What participants receive

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

  • Thienopyridine resistance testingOther

    Thienopyridine resistance will be measured by flow cytometry of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation, and/or VerifyNow P2Y12 assay, and/or the Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, and/or the PlaCor PRT 7000 platelet reactivity assay.

  • Aspirin resistance testingOther

    Aspirin resistance will be measured by the VerifyNow aspirin resistance assay.

  • Genetic polymorphism assessmentOther

    The presence of minor alleles in selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as measured by the Applied Biosystems Open Array system.

What is being measured

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

  1. The prevalence and degree of thienopyridine resistance

    Thienopyridine resistance will be assessed by:

    oThe VASP assay, which measures the platelet reactivity index; and/or oThe VerifyNow P2Y12 receptor inhibition assay, which measures P2Y12 reaction units (PRU); and/or oThe Chrono-Log Lumi-Aggregometer, which measures platelet aggregation (via optical density or electrical impedance) in response to ADP stimulation; and/or oThe PlaCor PRT 7000 platelet reactivity assay

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay; average hospital stay of less than 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The prevalence of aspirin resistance

    The prevalence and degree of aspirin resistance will be measured by the VerifyNow aspirin resistance assay.

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay; average hospital stay of less than 48 hours

  2. Correlate levels of platelet reactivity with the presence of selected genetic polymorphisms

    The presence of minor alleles in selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as measured by the Applied Biosystems Open Array system.

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay; average hospital stay of less than 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Increased Drug Resistance, 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 10 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 11 Aug 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ron Waksman, MD (202-877-5975, ron.waksman@medstar.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The prevalence and degree of thienopyridine resistance (time frame: Duration of hospital stay; average hospital stay of less than 48 hours). 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 11 Aug 2014.
