About this study

Platelet activation after off pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery may affect thrombus formation. The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of preoperative continuation of aspirin on platelet activation after off pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing OPCAB surgery will be randomized to continue preoperative aspirin or discontinue aspirin before surgery.

Platelet activation can be evaluated by measuring platelet p-selectin using flowcytometry. In this study, we will compare platelet-activated markers and conventional coagulation tests.

Being tested
aspirin continuation, aspirin discontinuation
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • aspirin continuationDrug

    Also called Low-dose aspirin (< 100mg/day)

    Patients are randomized to continue aspirin before OPCAB surgery.

  • aspirin discontinuationDrug

    Patients are randomized to discontinue aspirin more than 4 days before OPCAB surgery.

Study groups in NCT02209909
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
aspirin continuationExperimentalIntervention : Low-dose aspirin (< 100mg/day) is used before OPCAB surgery in the aspirin continuation group.
Receives: Drug: aspirin continuation
aspirin discontinuationExperimentalIntervention: Low-dose aspirin is stopped more than 4 days before OPCAB surgery in the aspirin discontinuation group.
Receives: Drug: aspirin discontinuation

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline in platelet p-selectin at 48 hours after operation

    Primary outcome is expression of platelet p-selectin measured by flowcytometry 48 hours after OPCAB surgery in both groups.

    Measured: after induction of anesthesia(baseline), at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, 48hr after operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change from baseline in conventional coagulation tests at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, and 48hr after operation

    prothrombin time (international normalized ratio), activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen

    Measured: after induction of anesthesia(baseline), at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, 48hr after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing aspirin continuation and aspirin discontinuation in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 13 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 21 Apr 2016. 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.

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?

change from baseline in platelet p-selectin at 48 hours after operation (time frame: after induction of anesthesia(baseline), at the time of end of operation, 24 hour after operation, 48hr after operation). 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 21 Apr 2016.
