About this study

Official title: Optimized Antiplatelet Therapy With Aspirin and Clopidogrel Improves Mortality Compared to Standard Treatment.

Comparing standard treatment versus optimized antiplatelet therapy and outcomes measures.

Read the detailed description

The study is aimed to evaluate if optimized antiplatelet treatment using a test and treat algorithm (with whole blood aggregometry) is able to improve clinical outcome of patients compared to standard treatment without platelet function testing.

Keywords
Clopidogrel, aspirin, low response, platelet aggregation, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Coronary Stent Implantation

Standard therapyAntiplatelet therapy following coronary stenting without platelet function testing
Optimized antiplatelet therapyPlatelet function testing and according to a test and treat strategy improve the antiplatelet therapy in low-responder. Treatment adjustments were done as published before - see BOCLA-Plan manuscript. (Reference: Tailored antiplatelet therapy can overcome clopidogrel and aspirin resistance--the BOchum CLopidogrel and Aspirin Plan (BOCLA-Plan) to improve antiplatelet therapy. BMC Med. 2011 Jan 12;9:3.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse cardiac events (MACE: mortality,rehospitalisation,myocardial infarction)

    MACE-rate

    Measured: Follow up for up to 12 months (retrospective analysis)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Ruhr University of Bochum at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 26 Feb 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 Germany. 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.

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?

Adverse cardiac events (MACE: mortality,rehospitalisation,myocardial infarction) (time frame: Follow up for up to 12 months (retrospective analysis)). 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 NCT01796691, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 26 Feb 2013.
