About this study

Official title: Pharmacodynamic Effect of Loading And Maintenance Doses Of Clopidogrel Versus Half Doses of Ticagrelor In Healthy Subjects

To evaluate the pharmacodynamics of a lower Ticagrelor dose in healthy Korean volunteers compared with standard Clopidogrel agent.

Read the detailed description

Consist with previous study Ticagrelor had greater, faster and more the platelet inhibition effect than Clopidogrel in both healthy subjects and stable coronary artery disease patients. Moreover, Asian subjects exposed higher active metabolite and stronger pharmacodynamics response than European subjects with same oral dose of antiplatelet agent. However, previous report comparing the efficacy and safety of Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in healthy Asian ethnicity is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic responses of a lower Ticagrelor dose using laboratory platelet function tests in healthy Korean volunteers.

Being tested
Ticagrelor 90 mg, Clopidogrel 600 mg

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ticagrelor 90 mgDrug

    Also called Brilinta 90 mg

    The subjects administer Ticagrelor 90 mg as loading dose (LD) follow by 90 mg/day as maintenance dose (MD) for 5 days, following a 2-week washout period, to receive the alternate thienopyridine (Clopidogrel 600 mg as LD follow by 75 mg/day as MD for 5 days).

  • Clopidogrel 600 mgDrug

    Also called Plavix 600 mg

    The subjects administer Clopidogrel 600 as loading dose (LD) follow by 75 mg/day as maintenance dose (MD) for 5 days, following a 2-week washout period, to receive the alternate thienopyridine (Ticagrelor 90 mg/day as LD, follow by 90 mg/day as MD for 5 days).

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet reactivity

    Platelet reactivity will be measured using multiple platelet function tests, including, light transmission aggregometry (LTA), multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (MEA, Dynabyte Medical, Munich, Germany), VerifyNow (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA, USA), Total thrombus-formation analysis system (T-TAS®, Fujimori Kogyo, Japan). The platelet reactivity will be measured at 0.5, 2, 6, 24,26,120,122 hours after study drug administration.

    Percent inhibition is calculated using the following formula: % inhibition =[(baseline reactivity unit - gain(t) reactivity unit) / baseline reactivity unit] × 100.

    • Baseline reactivity unit is the value before Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel loading dose.
    • Gain(t) reactivity unit is the value for each subject at selected time points ( 0.5, 2, 6, 24,26,120,122 hours after study drug administration).

    Measured: up to 122 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ticagrelor 90 mg and Clopidogrel 600 mg in people with Pharmacodynamics, run by Dong-A University 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 5 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 29 Jan 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 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Platelet reactivity (time frame: up to 122 hours). 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 NCT02086903, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 29 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
