About this study

Official title: "Impact of Cigarette Smoking on Platelet Reactivity in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With P2Y12 Inhibitors" - Trial COPTER -

All consecutive patients undergone PTCA in the period between July 2013 and December 2013 are eligible to be enrolled. Study population are divided in :

Group 1: smokers on dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA (100 mg once a day) and Prasugrel (10 mg die); Group 2: smokers on dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA(100 mg once a day) and Ticagrelor (90 mg twice a day); Control group: smokers on dual antiplatelet therapy with ASA(100 mg once a day) and Clopidogrel (75 mg once a day).

Platelet function is evaluated using a validated method: the VerifyNow System (Accumetrics Inc., San Diego, CA), which is a point-of-care turbidimetry-based optical detection system that measures platelet-induced aggregation. These value are measured Platelet function, measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12. All patients on chronic dual antiplatelet therapy (>1 month) quit smoking for a 2 weeks period. Therefore PRU values are obtained at baseline (at the enrollment time) and after 2 weeks after smoking cessation. Platelet reactivity are expressed in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU). PRU values >240 are suggestive of high platelet reactivity.

Primary outcomes: P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) at baseline and two weeks after quitting smoking.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of platelet reaction units (PRU)

    Absolute changes in platelet reactivity (expressed as P2Y(12) reaction units by the point-of-care VerifyNow assay [Accumetrics, San Diego, California])

    Measured: after 2 weeks of quitting smoking

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing quit smoking for a 2 weeks period in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marina Polacco (3333347960, dott.mpolacco@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of platelet reaction units (PRU) (time frame: after 2 weeks of quitting smoking). 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 NCT02026713, 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 9 Jun 2015.
