About this study

Official title: Residual Platelet Activity Despite Aspirin Utilization in Patients With Non ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes: Comparison Between the Acute and Chronic Phases

The purpose of this study is to compare the response to aspirin in the acute phase with the late phase of an acute coronary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to compare, in the same population, the response to aspirin in the initial phase (first 48 hours) with the late phase (after 3 months of discharge)of a non ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (angina or acute myocardial infarction).

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare platelet aggregation between the first 48 hours and 3 months after discharge.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Relation between platelet aggregability and the composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina and need for revascularization or hospitalization at 3 months after discharge.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Relation between the atherosclerotic burden by coronary angiography with the platelet aggregation in the first 48 hours.

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Relation between C reactive protein and interleukin -6 with levels of platelet aggregation.

    Measured: first 48 hours and 3 months

  4. Relation between platelet aggregation and the presence or absence of selected polymorphisms.

    Measured: first 48 hours and 3 months

  5. Platelet aggregation in respect to age, gender, glucose at hospital arrival, glycated hemoglobin, statin, PPI, current smokers, ACE inhibitors, type of ACS presentation.

    Cut point for age 65 y, for glycemia 125 mg/dL, for glycated hemoglobin 6%

    Measured: first 48 hours and 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease and Non ST-elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 10 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 28 Mar 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 Brazil. 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?

Compare platelet aggregation between the first 48 hours and 3 months after discharge. (time frame: 3 months). 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 28 Mar 2013.
