About this study

Official title: Intensified Antiplatelet Therapy in Post-PCI Patients With High On-treatment Platelet Reactivity: the OPTIMA-2 Trial

High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HOPR) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We sought to investigate the efficacy and safety of 1-month intensified antiplatelet therapies in post-PCI patients with HOPR.

Read the detailed description

OPTImal Management of Antithrombotic agents: OPTIMA-2 trial

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is the foundation antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clopidogrel is the most commonly used P2Y12 receptor inhibitor worldwide because it is effective and inexpensive1. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HOPR) occurs in as many as one-third of patients treated with standard dose clopidogrel (75mg once daily), and is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Various approaches have been tested to overcome HOPR in patients treated with aspirin and clopidogrel, including higher doses of clopidogrel; the addition of cilostazol; and replacement of clopidogrel with prasugrel; however, the results of these intensified treatments were controversial, and a more potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, ticagrelor has never been studied in this scenario.

TOPIC study showed that short-term (i.e. 1-month) intensification of antiplatelet treatment might be sufficient to achieve optimal outcomes. Similarly, TROPICAL ACS showed that guided de-escalation of antiplatelet treatment with clopidogrel was non-inferior to the treatment with prasugrel at 1 year after PCI in terms of net clinical benefit, which suggests that routinely long-term intensification of antiplatelet treatment is not required for all PCI patients.

Accordingly we performed a randomized trial to test the hypothesis that in patients with HOPR intensification of antiplatelet therapy with double dose clopidogrel, the addition of cilostazol, or replacement of clopidogrel with ticagrelor for 1 month followed by resumption of conventional DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel for 11 months would be superior to conventional DAPT for 12 months in reducing the prevalence of HOPR and MACE without increasing bleeding.

Inclusion criteria:

  1. Successively recruit all patients who receive stent implantation;
  2. Intended use of conventional DAPT with the combination of aspirin 100mg once daily and clopidogrel 75mg once daily for at least 12 months;
  3. Patient aged over 18 years;
  4. Signed inform consent.

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Allergy or intolerance to study drugs;
  2. History of gastrointestinal or intracranial bleeding;
  3. Need for anticoagulant therapy;
  4. High risk of bleeding (e.g., myelodysplasia, baseline platelet count < 80 × 109/L);
  5. Hemoglobin < 90g/L;
  6. Active malignancy or life expectancy < 1 year;
  7. Patients with other conditions made them unsuitable to be recruited at the discretion of the investigators.

Study procedures:

Following treatment for at least 5 days with the combination of aspirin 100mg once daily and clopidogrel 75mg once daily irrespective of a loading dose we measured platelet aggregation in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (PLADP) using light transmittance aggregometry (LTA). HOPR was defined as PLADP > 40%. Patients with HOPR were continued on aspirin 100mg once daily and were randomly assigned to one of the following 4 groups:

  1. clopidogrel 150mg once daily (CLOP-150);
  2. clopidogrel 75mg once daily plus cilostazol 100mg twice daily (CLOP+CILOST);
  3. ticagrelor 90mg twice daily (TICAG);
  4. clopidogrel 75mg once daily (conventional DAPT, CON). At 1 month, platelet aggregation testing was repeated after which all patients were switched back to conventional DAPT for a further 11 months.

All patients without HOPR were treated with conventional DAPT and followed to 12 months (Non-HOPR).

Sample size calculation:

Based on the published literature, we assumed a 38% rate of persistent HOPR in patients randomized to intensified treatment and 60% in those randomized to CON therapy. With a sample size of 81 per group, we calculated that we would have 80% power to detect this difference with a 2-sided P value of 0.05. After allowing for 20% study drug discontinuation rate at 1 month, we planned a sample size of 405 patients with HOPR.

Platelet Reactivity Assay

  1. ADP-induced platelet aggregation: Light transmittancy aggregation (LTA) in response to 5μM ADP.
  2. Blood sample collection time: baseline (more than 5 days after taking clopidogrel 75mg daily and aspirin 100mg daily), 1month after randomization.

Clinical follow-up:

Time points: 1month, 6month, and 1year after randomization.

The study endpoints:

The primary outcome was the proportion of patients with persistent HOPR at 1 month.

The secondary outcomes included a composite of MACE including cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, target vessel revascularization (TVR), stent thrombosis (ST) and cardiac readmission during 12-month follow-up, and any bleeding defined by the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clopidogrel, Cilostazol and Ticagrelor in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 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 18 Aug 2020. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

the proportion of patients with persistent HOPR at 1 month (time frame: 1-month after randomization). 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 NCT01955200, which also lists 12 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 18 Aug 2020.
