About this study

Official title: Assessment of Platelet REACtivity After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

A high platelet reactivity in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) selected for TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation) procedure has been demonstrated previously, and the use of double antiaggregation therapy (DAPT) with Clopidogrel and Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) do not achieve consistent and adequate suppression of platelet reactivity. The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy of ticagrelor alone versus DAPT with clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of high platelet reactivity following TAVI.

Being tested
Ticagrelor 90 mg twice per day during three months following TAVI, Aspirin 100 mg plus Clopidogrel 75 mg daily during three months following TAVI

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of residual platelet reactivity by a system to verify the patient's platelet reactivity (VerifyNow P2Y12 assay).

    Measured: Three months after antiplatelet treatment initiation following procedure.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of residual platelet reactivity by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay.

    Measured: Six hours after antiplatelet treatment initiation following procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ticagrelor 90 mg twice per day during three months following TAVI and Aspirin 100 mg plus Clopidogrel 75 mg daily during three months following TAVI in people with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, run by Hospital de Meixoeiro at 7 sites in Spain.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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 3 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Spain. 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?

Evaluate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of residual platelet reactivity by a system to verify the patient's platelet reactivity (VerifyNow P2Y12 assay). (time frame: Three months after antiplatelet treatment initiation following procedure.). 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 NCT02224066, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 3 Aug 2018.
