Trial summary

Patients with severe chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) exhibited higher platelet reactivity to clopidogrel than did those with normal renal function. Not enough study has been conducted about the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor in these cardiovascular high risk patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Platelet Reactivity in Patients With End Stage Renal Disease Receiving Clopidogrel Compared With Ticagrelor

Patients with severe chronic kidney disease or end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) exhibited higher platelet reactivity to clopidogrel than did those with normal renal function. Not enough study has been conducted about the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor in these cardiovascular high risk patients. We hypothesized ticagrelor would achieve more and faster antiplatelet effects compared with clopidogrel in ESRD patients on HD.

Read the detailed description

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and confers an increasing risk of stent thrombosis even when dual antiplatelet therapy (clopidogrel and aspirin) is administered. Recently, we demonstrated that patients with severe CKD or end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD) exhibited higher platelet reactivity to clopidogrel than did those with normal renal function. One of good option to overcome high platelet reactivity in ESRD patients would be ticagrelor which has been already shown improved clinical outcomes. But little is known the antiplatelet effects of ticagrelor in ESRD patients on HD. The present study was designed to determine the antiplatelet effect as well as the onset and offset action of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel in patients with ESRD undergoing maintenance HD.

What participants receive

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

  • TicagrelorDrug

    Also called Ticagrelor (Brilinta)

    After randomization, an initial loading dose of ticagrelor (180 mg) was given and maintenance doses (ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily) was treated for 14 days.

  • ClopidogrelDrug

    Also called Clopidogrel (Plavix)

    After randomization, an initial loading dose of clopidogrel (300 mg) was given and maintenance doses (clopidogrel 75 mg once daily) was treated for 14 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of antiplatelet effects assessed by VerifyNow assay

    The difference of PRU values achieved following antiplatelet therapy

    Measured: 14 days after study drug treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the rate of onset and offset of the antiplatelet effects

    the difference of slope during onset and offset of study drugs

    Measured: 14 days after study drugs treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in people with Chronic Kidney Disease, run by Kyunghee University 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 15 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 Jun 2014. 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?

The difference of antiplatelet effects assessed by VerifyNow assay (time frame: 14 days after study drug treatment). 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 NCT02163954, 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 Jun 2014.
