About this study

This is a single-center, randomized, single-blind, investigator-initiated, pharmacodynamic study with a parallel design. Patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction, undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention will be randomized after informed consent, in a 1:1 ratio to the following treatment groups:

Group Α: Ticagrelor 180mg loading dose (LD), followed by a 90mg x2 maintenance dose (MD)starting 12±6 hours post LD, until Day 5 (5 days after randomization) Group Β: Prasugrel 60 mg LD followed by 10mg x1 MD starting 24 hours post LD, until Day 5 (5 days after randomization).

Platelet reactivity assessment will be performed at randomization (Hour 0) and at 1, 2, 6, 24 hours after randomization, and on Day 5. Documentation of major adverse cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization procedure with PCI or CABG)and serious adverse events (bleeding, other adverse events)will be performed until Day 5.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel and Ticagrelor 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 3 inclusion and 25 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 10 Apr 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: 1hour). 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 NCT01463163, 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 10 Apr 2012.
