About this study

The investigators are trying to find out if Clopidogrel (Plavix) is as effective in hemodialysis patients as in patients not hemodialysed.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular disease is very frequent in hemodialysis patients. Lot of hemodialysis patients are on Clopidogrel (plavix). Their is some evidence that clopidogrel is not effective in hemodialysis as it is effective in patient without kidney problem.

VerifyNow plavix is a machine that measure the ability of the blood to clot after giving plavix.

We will collect blood from hemodialysis patients on plavix and check the ability of their blood to clot and thus indirectly measuring the efficacy of Plavix.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence Of Plavix resistance

    Plavix resistance is reported using the PRU values given by the VerifyNow machine. PRU is P2Y12 Reaction Units which is correlated with platelet aggregation.

    Measured: 1 day ( one study visit)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. assess the risk factors for plavix resistance in the hemodialysis population

    Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is very common in dialysis patients. Treatment of CAD include medical therapy, stent placement and surgery. Since Plavix is a medication that is commonly used after stent placement, we would like to assess the efficacy of this medication in this patient population.

    Measured: 1 day (one study visit)

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?

Prevalence Of Plavix resistance (time frame: 1 day ( one study visit)). 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 31 May 2013.
