Trial summary

Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) is defined as limb pain that occurs at rest, or impending limb loss that is caused by severe compromise of blood flow to the affected extremity. CLI is a major cause of death and disability (secondary to myocardial infarction, stroke and amputation). Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The patient population will include one-hundred patients with a diagnosis of CLI. We will only include in the study CLI patients who as part of their standard of care medical treatment are receiving dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 81 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg daily for at least one week.

Who may be able to join

  • EXPERIMENTAL GROUP: Patients with a diagnosis of critical limb ischemia (CLI) and uninterrupted treatment with aspirin and/or clopidogrel for at least one week before testing.
  • CONTROL GROUP: 10 normal volunteers without any known co-morbidities

Who cannot join

  • Chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 × 103/μl), use of an oral anticoagulant (warfarin), glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors, or fibrinolytic drugs within 30 days before testing. Any documented history of hypercoaguable states or history of medication non-compliance.

About this study

Official title: Prevalence of High On-Treatment (Aspirin and Clopidogrel) Platelet Reactivity in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia

Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) is defined as limb pain that occurs at rest, or impending limb loss that is caused by severe compromise of blood flow to the affected extremity. CLI is a major cause of death and disability (secondary to myocardial infarction, stroke and amputation). The mortality in patients with CLI approaches 25% and 50% at one and five years respectively. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) in patients treated with aspirin and clopidogrel (previously referred to as "resistance") is associated with an increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events after percutaneous coronary interventions and acute coronary syndromes. The prevalence and significance of High on-treatment Platelet Reactivity (HPR) in patients with critical limb ischemia treated with aspirin and/or clopidogrel is not known.

The investigators project aims to investigate the prevalence of HPR (to aspirin and clopidogrel) in one hundred patients with diagnosis of critical limb ischemia encountered at University of Southern California (USC) affiliated hospitals (Los Angeles County Hospital and Keck Hospital of University of Southern California).

Read the detailed description

This prospective clinical study will investigate the prevalence of high on- treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) in one hundred patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI), at the Keck Hospital of USC and Los Angeles County Medical Center (LAC+USC). Platelet inhibition to aspirin will be evaluated with the VerifyNow® aspirin (ASA) test. Clopidogrel platelet inhibition will be evaluated with two different tests: the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) and the VerifyNow® purigenic receptor P2Y12 (VN-P2Y12) assays. All platelet function analyses will be performed once after a minimum of one week of uninterrupted dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. High on-treatment Platelet Reactivity on aspirin treatment (HPRA) group will be defined as aspirin reaction units (ARU) ≥550 by the VerifyNow® ASA assay. High on-treatment Platelet Reactivity on clopidogrel (HPRC) group will be defined as P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) ≥208 by the VerifyNow® assay and Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein-platelet reactivity index (VASP-PRI) ≥50% by the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) assay. All other patients will be assigned to the adequate platelet reactivity on therapy (APR) group. Prevalence of high on-treatment platelet reactivity will then be calculated for aspirin and/or clopidogrel

What is being measured

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

  1. Asses the Prevalence of High On-treatment Platelet Reactivity in Critical Limb Ischemia Patients Treated With Aspirin and Clopidogrel.

    Platelet inhibition to aspirin will be evaluated with the VerifyNow® aspirin (ASA) test. Clopidogrel platelet inhibition will be evaluated with two different tests: the vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) and the VerifyNow® purinergic receptor P2Y12 (VN-P2Y12) assays.

    Measured: Single measurment after a minimum of one week of uninterrupted dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Limb Ischemia, run by University of Southern California 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Jun 2019). 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?

Asses the Prevalence of High On-treatment Platelet Reactivity in Critical Limb Ischemia Patients Treated With Aspirin and Clopidogrel. (time frame: Single measurment after a minimum of one week of uninterrupted dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel). 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 28 Jun 2019.
