About this study

Official title: Comparative Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics Study of Generic and Reference Clopidogrel Products in Thai Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel on the platelet inhibition and the pharmacokinetic profiles of clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite between generic and reference clopidogrel products in Thai healthy volunteers

Read the detailed description

Platelet aggregation (ex vivo) were measured by using Whole blood impedence aggregometry (Chrono-log®) and VerifyNow® P2Y12 assay. Plasma concentration of clopidogrel carboxylic acid metabolite were measured by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Being tested
Generic clopidogrel product Apolets®, Original clopidogrel product Plavix®
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacodynamic Effect: The Platelet Inhibition Effect of Clopidogrel at the Various Times on Day 7 (0-24 Hours) (at Steady State)

    Measured: Blood collection at 0 (before dosing), 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after the last dose, administered at day 7

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pharmacokinetic Profiles: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC 0-24)

    Measured: Blood collection at 0 (before dosing), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after the last dose, administered at day 7

  2. Pharmacokinetic Profiles: The Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Blood collection at 0 (before dosing), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after the last dose, administered at day 7

  3. Pharmacokinetic Profiles: Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Blood collection at 0 (before dosing), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after the last dose, administered at day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Generic clopidogrel product Apolets® and Original clopidogrel product Plavix® in people with Pharmacodynamics, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 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 4 May 2015. 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 Thailand. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pharmacodynamic Effect: The Platelet Inhibition Effect of Clopidogrel at the Various Times on Day 7 (0-24 Hours) (at Steady State) (time frame: Blood collection at 0 (before dosing), 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after the last dose, administered at day 7). 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 4 May 2015.
