Trial summary

Ticagrelor is a non-thienophyridine, direct P2Y12 blocker that is more potent than clopidogrel and is associated with less interindividual variability. In the PLATO trial, it was found to be superior to clopidogrel with respect to cardiovascular outcomes and total mortality without increasing the risk of bleedings. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Clopidogrel and Ticagrelor on Microvascular Dysfunction in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: The Index of MIcrocirculatory Resistance After PCI in STEMI Patients (TIME Study)

Ticagrelor is a non-thienophyridine, direct P2Y12 blocker that is more potent than clopidogrel and is associated with less interindividual variability. In the PLATO trial, it was found to be superior to clopidogrel with respect to cardiovascular outcomes and total mortality without increasing the risk of bleedings.

More potent and reversible receptor bindings are possible explanation for the superior outcomes. Beside the potent effect on inhibition of antiplatelet function, ticagrelor has previously been demonstrated to increase adenosine levels by inhibiting adenosine re-uptake in tissue level and can induce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release from human red cells, which both stimulate vasodilation of in red blood cells.

What is being measured

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

  1. Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) measured after successful coronary intervention

    Measured: IMR will be immediately assessed after successful PCI patients within 48hr from admission

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. wall motion score index on three month later TTE from index PCI

    Measured: TTE will be assessed in all enrolled patients 3 month later from index PCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Clopidogrel and Ticagrelor in people with Non-ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Inha University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 1 Oct 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 South Korea. 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?

Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) measured after successful coronary intervention (time frame: IMR will be immediately assessed after successful PCI patients within 48hr from admission). 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 NCT02026219, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Oct 2015.
