Trial summary

The elderly represent a growing segment of the coronary population treated by dual antiplatelet therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). These patients bear a higher risk of both ischemic events and bleeding complications than younger patients, with a subsequently higher rate of mortality.Recentprogress… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PhaRmacodynamic Effect of Antiplatelet Agents in Elderly Patients: Standard Clopidogrel Versus prasugrEl Low Dose Therapy.

The elderly represent a growing segment of the coronary population treated by dual antiplatelet therapy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). These patients bear a higher risk of both ischemic events and bleeding complications than younger patients, with a subsequently higher rate of mortality.Recentprogress in antithrombotic treatment demonstrated the efficacy of adding a P2Y12 receptor antagonist to low-dose aspirin. Whether this benefit is also present in the elderly remains a debated issue due to the lack of specific data in this sub-population. The present study was realized to provide specific data on platelet response to clopidogrel, standard dose (75 mg) or prasugrel 5 mg in elderly patients (≥75 years old) whereas the superiority in PR response of the latter should allows the Prasugrel therapy in elderly patients with the better clinical efficacy and therapeutical safety already showed compared with Clopidogrel.

What participants receive

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

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Patient will be randomized to this intervention will receive the standard dose of clopidogrel and after 15 days and 30 days we will control the responsivness of the study drug.

  • PrasugrelDrug

    Patient will be randomized to this intervention will receive the low dose of prasugrel and after 15 days and 30 days we will control the responsivness of the study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. superiority of prasugrel low dose

    The primary aim will be to investigate the antiplatelet effect of half dose of prasugrel (5 mg) versus standard dose of clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome and coronary diseases, treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Bleeding

    Bleeding (major, minor, or minimal according to the TIMI study criteria)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. major adverse cardiac events

    major adverse cardiac events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) will be evaluated during the all period of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Clopidogrel and Prasugrel in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Gennaro Sardella at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 29 Jan 2013. 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 Italy. 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?

Contact Gennaro Sardella, MD (+390649979035, rino.sardella@uniroma1.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

superiority of prasugrel low dose (time frame: 30 days). 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 29 Jan 2013.
