Trial summary

Plavix (clopidogrel) is a drug that is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to reduce the risk of having another heart attack by preventing platelets (blood cells that are important in forming blood clots) from sticking together and forming another clot. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clopidogrel Resistance and Platelet Reactivity in Hispanic Females Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Plavix (clopidogrel) is a drug that is approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to reduce the risk of having another heart attack by preventing platelets (blood cells that are important in forming blood clots) from sticking together and forming another clot. Platelet activity can be measured by a machine called VerifyNow.

The purpose of this study is to see whether Hispanic women and White non-Hispanic women have the same platelet response to a commonly used drug, Plavix (clopidogrel). Recent studies have shown that platelets may be more active in Hispanics, making it more difficult to prevent clots from forming, even when using Plavix. In addition, studies have shown that women may also have more active platelets than men. There have been no studies of Hispanic women and the effect of Plavix on platelet activity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet Reactivity measured by the VerifyNow P2Y12 Assay

    Compare the Hispanic female platelet reactivity response to the Caucasian female platelet reactivity response in females currently taking clopidogrel.

    Measured: At least 14 days following the ACS event

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Arizona at 2 sites in United States.

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 4 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 Aug 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Platelet Reactivity measured by the VerifyNow P2Y12 Assay (time frame: At least 14 days following the ACS event). 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 NCT01796873, 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 22 Aug 2024.
