About this study

Official title: A Randomized Study With Loading Dose of Prasugrel Opposed to the Standard Dose of Clopidogrel in Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Acute Coronary Syndrome, Revascularized Through Drug-eluting Stent.

The purpose of this study is to determine if, in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing treatment with PCI and a stent, who fail to respond to normal doses of clopidogrel, a loading dose of 60 mg of prasugrel followed by 10 mg once daily is superior to the standard dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel in achieving greater than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation at 24-36 hours of treatment.

Read the detailed description

The VERDI study consists on a randomized, mono-center study comparing the treatment plan of a loading dose of prasugrel as opposed to the standard dose in type 2 diabetic patients, who suffer acute coronary syndrome, revascularized through an invasive percutaneous strategy with a stent. The aim of this study is to determine if, in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing treatment with PCI and a stent, who fail to respond to normal doses of clopidogrel, a loading dose of 60 mg of prasugrel followed by 10 mg once daily is superior to the standard dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel in achieving greater than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation at 24-36 hours of treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Prasugrel.Drug

    Also called Efient, Eli Lilly

    Patients in this group will receive a loading dose of 60 mg prasugrel (6 x 10 mg tablets) followed by at least dose of 10 mg prasugrel (1 x 10 mg tablet). Beyond the second day after PCI, these patients will receive double antiaggregation therapy according to their physician´s criteria.

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Also called Agrelan

    Patients in this group will receive the standard dose of clopidogrel, a daily dose of 75 mg. Beyond the second day post-PCI, these patients will receive double anti aggregation therapy according to their physician's criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients who achieve inhibition of platelet aggregation greater that 50%

    The principal objective is to determine whether in type 2 diabetic patients who are non-responsive to clopidogrel at habitual doses and who receive treatment through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a stent, a treatment plan with a loading dose of prasugrel (60 mg) followed by 1 cp (10 mg) once a day, is superior to a standard dose of 75 mg clopidogrel in achieving greater than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation at 24-36 hours of treatment.

    Measured: 24 to 36 hours post-PCI

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    To evaluate the safety of treatment with prasugrel in comparison with the standard treatment with clopidogrel in terms of the appearance of secondary effects (severe bleeding, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, gastrointestinal changes, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura).

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Number of patients who die or present the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI or recurrent ischemia as a measure of efficacy.

    To assess the results in different sub-groups and analyze the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI or recurrent ischemia at 30 days.

    Measured: 30 days.

  3. Number of participants who are non-responsiveness to antiaggregation therapy as a measure of efficacy

    To analyze the characteristics of patients who are non-responsive to anti-aggregation therapy.

    Measured: 30 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel. and Clopidogrel in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type II and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la gestión de la Investigación en Sevilla at 1 site in Spain.

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 17 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 22 Sep 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 Spain. 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?

Number of patients who achieve inhibition of platelet aggregation greater that 50% (time frame: 24 to 36 hours post-PCI). 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 NCT01684813, 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 22 Sep 2014.
