About this study

Study design Investigators aim to perform a prospective, single-center, investigator-initiated, randomized study to compare the Adenosine-induced coronary vasodilatation after the loading dose of Ticagrelor either Prasugrel during the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. Patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention will be enrolled in the study and will be randomized, in a 1:1 ratio, to receive a loading dose of Ticagrelor (180 mg) or Prasugrel (60 mg). In patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction these drugs will be administered only when the coronary anatomy will be known, to avoid bleeding due to prasugrel, in patients suitable for coronary artery bypass grafting as recommended by European Society of Cardiology guidelines (Class IB) (10). In patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction, instead, prasugrel and ticagrelor will be administrated before the procedure, according to the European Society of Cardiology guidelines (Class IB) (11). Coronary Flow Reserve will be recorded by intracoronary Doppler Flow Wire before the stent implantation and after the procedure at baseline and 2-minute later adenosine intravenous administration at incremental doses of 50, 80, 110 and 140 ug/Kg/min with 2 minutes interval between infusions.

Coronary Flow Reserve is the ability of the myocardium to increase blood flow in response to maximal exercise. Doppler Flow Wire allows to measure this increase expressing it as a ratio between maximal vasodilation and flow at rest. Coronary Flow Reserve is routinely measured in patients with acute coronary syndrome, without an increased risk of adverse events for patients neither adjunctive costs for the National Health System.

Furthermore, Plasma concentrations of Ticagrelor and its main metabolite (AR-C124910XX) will be measured in venous blood collected at the end of the procedure. . In patients requiring a second Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, for example for multivessel disease, all these measures will be repeated in the same manner.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Assessment of coronary flow reserve, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Ticagrelor loading in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by Azienda Policlinico Umberto I 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 3 inclusion and 17 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 10 Jan 2014. 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 massimo mancone (00390649979044), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

assessment of coronary flow reserve (time frame: 2 hours after the loading dose). 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 10 Jan 2014.
