About this study

Official title: An Open Label, Two Arms, Randomized Controlled Pilot Study Comparing the Arachidonic Acid-induced Platelet Aggregation Rate in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease Treated With Ticagrelor Monotherapy or Ticagrelor and Asprin

This study was a feasibility trial that was designed to provide preliminary observations and generate hypotheses for future studies. The aim of the study is to estimate the difference of arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation rate between ticagrelor mono-therapy and aspirin/ticagrelor dual-therapy after 14 days of treatment in patients with stable coronary artery disease. The potential hypothesis is that the arachidonic acid (AA) induced platelet aggregation rate after 2 weeks of ticagrelor mono-therapy is comparable to that of aspirin/ticagrelor dual-therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, open labeled, active-controlled pilot study to estimate the difference of arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation rate between ticagrelor monotherapy and aspirin/ticagrelor dual-therapy in patients with stable coronary heart disease. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 9 months, including an anticipated enrolment period of 8 months and follow-up period of 4weeks.

Patients with documented coronary heart disease and currently receiving dual-antiplatelet therapy with standard dose aspirin and clopidogrel will be enrolled from the study site. For patients post acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), they must be on dual-antiplatelet therapy for at least 12 months to be eligible for the study.

The study plan, including enrolment/randomization and follow-up visits, is outlined in Table 1. Eligible patients will enter a washout phase with ticagrelor for 2 weeks. Then they will be randomized to take either ticagrelor alone or aspirin/ticagrelor for 14 days. The efficacy evaluation will be done at 7 and 14days after randomization. The primary efficacy parameter is the rate of arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation after 14 days of treatment. All patients will be treated to standards of care for coronary heart disease secondary prevention.

Visit 0 (Screening and Enrollment, 0 day) All potentially eligible patients will undergo a screening visit following their signed informed consent.

Following an 8-hour fast, the patients will have screening evaluations performed. Demography, medical history, and concomitant medication will be recorded. A physical examination and vital signs(pulse and BP), height and weight, as well as blood sampling for laboratory assessments of complete blood count (CBC) with differential, serum creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and AA, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and collagen induced platelet aggregation rate will be done. Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) readings will be recorded.

Patients meeting all inclusion criteria and with no exclusion criteria will be enrolled. Patients will receive ticagrelor mono-therapy from the evening for 14 days. IP will be dispensed.

Visit 1 (Randomization, 14 days) Suspected adverse events (AEs) will be recorded. A physical examination and vital signs (pulse and BP), as well as blood sampling for laboratory assessments of AA, ADP and collagen induced platelet aggregation rate and serum thromboxane B2 concentration will be done.

Patients should be told to take ticagrelor in the morning of Visit 1. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ticagrelor mono-therapy or aspirin/ticagrelor dual-therapy. Investigational product (IP) will be returned and compliance assessed and new bottles of IP will be dispensed according to randomized groups.

Visit 2 (21 days) Suspected AEs will be recorded. Vital signs (pulse and BP) as well as blood sampling for laboratory assessments of AA, ADP and collagen induced platelet aggregation rate will be done.

Visit 3 (End of treatment, 28 days) Suspected AEs will be recorded. Vital signs (pulse and BP) as well as blood sampling for laboratory assessments of CBC with differential, Scr, ALT and AST, AA, ADP and collagen induced platelet aggregation rate will be done. IP will be returned and compliance assessed. Instructions for medication after study will be given to patients at this time.

For patients who prematurely discontinued the randomized treatment, a complete end of treatment visit will be preferred.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ticagrelor and Aspirin in people with Coronary Heart Disease, run by Yong Huo at 1 site in China.

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 19 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 Jun 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 China. 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 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 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 rate of AA induced platelet aggregation (time frame: Day 14 after randomization). 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 Jun 2016.
