About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel, Multi-Center, Phase IV Study to Assess the Effect of Ticagrelor vs Clopidogrel on Adenosine-Induced Myocardial Blood Flow in Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)Patients

The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of blood flow to the heart when subjects are treated with ticagrelor (Brilinta) or clopidogrel (antiplatelet drugs that stop the blood from clumping together) in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).

Read the detailed description

The effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel on adenosine-induced myocardial blood flow (MBF) will be evaluated by cardiac 13N- ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) at rest (baseline), acute dosing on Day 1, and at short term dosing on Day 7.

Subjects receiving ticagrelor will have additional pharmacokinetic (PK) blood samples collected at specific time points to measure ticagrelor concentration in the blood. Subjects' participation will be approximatetly 6 weeks.

What participants receive

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

  • TicagrelorDrug

    Also called Brilinta

    Day 1: Loading dose of ticagrelor 180mg (two 90mg tablets) followed by 90mg dose at 12 hours after loading dose. Subject continues to take ticagrelor 90mg twice a day (morning and evening) for 7 days until next visit (Day 7).

  • clopidogrelDrug

    Also called Plavix

    Day 1: Clopidogrel 75mg oral tablet. Subjects will continue to take clopidogrel 75mg once a day for 7 days until next visit (Day 7/Visit 3). Note: no loading dose is given for the clopidogrel as those subjects are already on chronic dosing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of ticagrelor when compared to clopidogrel on adenosine-induced myocardial blood flow (MBF) by cardiac 13N ammonia Positron EmissionTomography (PET) at Visit 2

    Assess the acute treatment effects on the 13N-ammonia PET measure and evaulate if they can be correlated with plasma exposure of ticagrelor and or its active metabolite. Subjects will recieve 180mg ticagrelor loading dose or no loading dose for clopidogrel arm, since those subjects are already on chronic dosing. Subjects will undergo additional adenosine-PET at 2 hours following ticagrelor or 4 hours following clopidogrel administration to ascertain MBF.

    Measured: Visit 2 (Day 1): 1 day treament visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment of ticagrelor when compared to clopidogrel on adenosine-induced myocardial blood flow (MBF) by cardiac 13N ammonia Positron EmissionTomography (PET) at Vist 3

    Assess the short-term treatment effects on the 13N-ammonia PET measure and evaulate if they can be correlated with plasma exposure of ticagrelor and or its active metabolite. The same sequence described at Visit 2 will be repeated during Visit 3.

    Measured: Visit 3 (Day 7): occurs 7 days after Visit 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ticagrelor and clopidogrel in people with Peripheral Artery Disease and Vascular Disease, run by AstraZeneca.

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 18 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Assessment of ticagrelor when compared to clopidogrel on adenosine-induced myocardial blood flow (MBF) by cardiac 13N ammonia Positron EmissionTomography (PET) at Visit 2 (time frame: Visit 2 (Day 1): 1 day treament visit). 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 15 Oct 2014.
