Trial summary

Clopidogrel administration is commonly prescribed in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, in patients with previous stroke and in patients under chronic hemodialysis via fistulae. Patients with chronic renal failure present lower clopidogrel response compared to those with normal renal function. Read more about this study

About this study

Clopidogrel administration is commonly prescribed in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, in patients with previous stroke and in patients under chronic hemodialysis via fistulae. Patients with chronic renal failure present lower clopidogrel response compared to those with normal renal function. Ticagrelor is a new oral direct-acting antagonist, which provides greater platelet inhibition in both clopidogrel responders and non-responders. It has also been shown that in patients with chronic kidney disease (creatinine clearance <60 mL/min)ticagrelor achieved an absolute risk reduction of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke greater than that of patients with normal renal function. Clopidogrel resistant patients as assessed by VerifyNow P2Y12(Accumetrics)will be administered after informed consent ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily for 15 days. Platelet reactivity will be determined at the end of the treatment period. Bleeding events, major adverse cardiac events and any side effects until Day 15 will be reported in a descriptive manner.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ticagrelor in people with Platelet Reactivity, run by University of Patras at 2 sites 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 4 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 3 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 assessed by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (time frame: Day 15). 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 3 Feb 2012.
