About this study

Official title: Ticlopidine+Ginkgo Biloba Versus Clopidogrel in Clopidogrel Resistant Patients Undergoing Cartoid Artery Stent Placement

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the ticlopidine + ginko biloba compared to clopidogrel in clopidogrel resistant patients undergoing carotid artery stent placement. The investigators hypothesized that ticlopidine + ginko biloba is superior than clopidogrel in terms of post-stent ischemic lesions in these patients without serious complications.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. New ischemic lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)

    Presence of new ischemic lesion in the ipsilesioinal hemisphere on DWI after carotid stening

    Measured: within 24 hours after carotid stenting

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number and Volume of new ischemic lesions on DWI

    Measured: within 24 hours after carotid stenting

  2. Benign and malignant microembolic signals (MES) on transcranial Doppler (TCD)

    Measured: within 24 hours after carotid stenting

  3. Ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)

    Measured: within 30 days after carotid stenting

  4. Change of clopidogrel resistance

    Change of clopidogrel resistance measured by Verify now (P2Y12)

    Measured: 1 day after carotid stenting

  5. Pucture site hematoma

    Measured: within 30 days after carotid stenting

  6. Mycocardial infarction

    Measured: within 30 days after carotid stenting

  7. Death

    Measured: within 30 days after carotid stenting

  8. Hematological abnormalities

    Neutrophil <1500/uL Platelet <100,000/uL AST or ALT >120 U/L

    Measured: within 30 days after carotid stenting

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ticlopidine + Ginko biloba and Clopidogrel in people with Carotid Stenosis, run by Samsung Medical Center 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 26 Apr 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Oh Young Bang, MD (82-2-3410-3599, neuroboy50@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

New ischemic lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) (time frame: within 24 hours after carotid stenting). 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 NCT02133989, 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 26 Apr 2017.
