About this study

Official title: The Effect Of Antiplatelets Therapy, Tirafiban, Prasugrel, And Aspirin On Saphenous Vein Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patency

This protocol is designed to evaluate the effect of antiplatelets (Tirafiban and Prasugrel) on the incidence of early and intermediate graft patency after CABG.

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a commonly used revascularization strategy in patients with severe coronary artery disease. Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are the most frequently used conduits for this procedure. Unlike arterial grafts, SVGs are particularly susceptible to occlusive thrombosis during the first post-operative year, which exposes patients to increased risks of death, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization.

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of antiplatelets (Tirafiban and Prasugrel) on the incidence of early and intermediate graft patency after CABG. Patients will undergo planned cardiac Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) predischarge (at 1 week) and CTA/coronary angiography (CAG) at 6 months to 1 year follow-up. CTA at baseline (predischarge) and follow-up CTA/CAG at 6-12 months after CABG will be used to evaluate graft patency.

Being tested
Aspirin, Tirofiban, Clopidogrel, Prasugrel

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    75 mg orally started 6-8hours before surgery

  • PrasugrelDrug

    10 mg daily as per instructions of investigators

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aspirin, Tirofiban and Clopidogrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Prince Sultan Cardiac Center, Adult Cardiology Department. at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 1 inclusion and 12 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 15 May 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Venous graft patency (time frame: At one year). 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 15 May 2012.
