About this study

Official title: A Pharmacodynamic Study Comparing Prasugrel Versus Ticagrelor in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Undergoing PCI With CYP2C19 Loss-of-function Genotypes: A Feasibility Study With Point-of-care Pharmacodynamic and Genetic Testing

Numerous studies have shown that pharmacodynamics (PD) response profiles vary among clopidogrel treated patients and that individuals with reduced response have an increased risk of recurrent ischemic events. There are multiple factors contributing to clopidogrel response variability, including genetic variations of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 enzyme. In particular, loss-of-function (LOF) alleles of the CYP2C19 enzyme reduce transformation of clopidogrel pro-drug into its active metabolite. Thus, patients carrying LOF alleles have lower levels of clopidogrel's active metabolite as well as diminished platelet inhibition, which translates into an increased rate of adverse cardiovascular events, particularly in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Prasugrel and ticagrelor are novel generation P2Y12 receptor inhibitors characterized by greater PD potency and reduced ischemic event rates compared with clopidogrel, and are not affected by CYP2C19 LOF polymorphisms. However, to date there are limited head-to-head PD comparisons between these two new P2Y12 receptors blockers, and there are no studies assessing on how these agents behave among CYP2C19 LOF carriers. The aim of the present study is to compare the PD effects of prasugrel versus ticagrelor in patients undergoing PCI with CYP2C19 LOF alleles using the novel point-of-care genetic testing Spartan RX-CYP2C19 which permits accurate and rapid identification of CYP2C19 genetic status.

Read the detailed description

Clopidogrel is the most broadly utilized platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor. However, numerous studies have shown that pharmacodynamics (PD) response profiles vary among clopidogrel treated patients and that individuals with reduced response have an increased risk of recurrent ischemic events. There are multiple factors contributing to clopidogrel response variability. Among these, genetic variations of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 enzyme, a key contributor to clopidogrel metabolism, have been involved. In particular, loss-of-function (LOF) alleles of the CYP2C19 enzyme reduce transformation of clopidogrel pro-drug into its active metabolite. Thus, patients carrying LOF alleles have lower levels of clopidogrel's active metabolite as well as diminished platelet inhibition, which translates into an increased rate of adverse cardiovascular events, particularly in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Because of these findings, drug regulating authorities have provided a boxed warning on the product label of clopidogrel on the potential for reduced efficacy of clopidogrel among CYP2C19 LOF carriers and suggested considering alternative antiplatelet therapies for these individuals. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are novel generation P2Y12 receptor inhibitors characterized by greater PD potency and reduced ischemic event rates compared with clopidogrel, and are not affected by CYP2C19 LOF polymorphisms. However, to date there are limited head-to-head PD comparisons between these two new P2Y12 receptors blockers, and there are no studies assessing on how these agents behave among CYP2C19 LOF carriers. Tailoring antiplatelet therapy according to results of genetic testing has been limited in real world clinical practice because of not having readily accessible results of individual's genetic makeup. The aim of the present study is to compare the PD effects of prasugrel versus ticagrelor in patients undergoing PCI with CYP2C19 LOF alleles using the novel point-of-care genetic testing Spartan RX-CYP2C19 which permits accurate and rapid identification of CYP2C19 genetic status.

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet Reactivity

    The primary endpoint is P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) measured by the Verify Now P2Y12 assay 24hours/hospital discharge post randomization to prasugrel vs ticagrelor. PRU is is an arbitrary unit of measure to assess ADP-induced platelet aggregation.

    Measured: 24 hours post loading dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 16 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 16 Sep 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Aug 2020). 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?

Platelet Reactivity (time frame: 24 hours post loading dose). 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 NCT02065479, 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 16 Sep 2020.
