Trial summary

The use of dual antiplatelet therapy is considered standard of care in patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting. However, a significant proportion of patients is considered clopidogrel resistant and this resistance is shown to be accompanied by future adverse events. Read more about this study

About this study

The use of dual antiplatelet therapy is considered standard of care in patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting. However, a significant proportion of patients is considered clopidogrel resistant and this resistance is shown to be accompanied by future adverse events. The aim of the study is to define in consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing PCI, those aged>75years and/or weighted<60 Kg with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (Platelet Reactivity Units-PRU≥235) as estimated 24 hours post PCI with the VerifyNow assay. Those patients will be randomized after informed concent in 1:1 fashion to prasugrel 5 mg or clopidogrel 150mg daily. Platelet reactivity will be assessed at day 15 and then treatment crossover will be performed. At day 30 platelet reactivity will be determined as well.

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet reactivity

    Platelet reactivity assessed with the VerifyNow assay at the end of each treatment period

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Hyporesponsiveness rate (PRU≥235) at the end of the 2 treatment periods

    Hyporesponsiveness rate will be assessed 15 days after the onset of each study drug

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clopidogrel and Prasugrel in people with Platelet Reactivity, run by University of Patras at 1 site in Greece.

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 7 inclusion and 19 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 11 Jul 2012. 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 Greece. 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?

Platelet reactivity (time frame: 15 days). 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 NCT01463150, 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 11 Jul 2012.
