  • Ages 18 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers

Who may be able to join

  • Adults age 18-100 years with Rutherford Classification Stage IV through VI PAD with a recent percutaneous lower extremity arterial angiography with arterial intervention in the past 2 weeks

The female patient should not be lactating and must have a negative pregnancy test at screening.

  • Intolerance to thienopyridines
  • Hypersensitivity to ticagrelor or any component of the product.
  • Concomitant use of oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonist, factor Xa inhibitor, or direct thrombin inhibitor
  • History of intracranial hemorrhage
  • History of severe hepatic impairment defined by baseline transaminase greater than or equal to 3x ULN or any elevation in bilirubin

About this study

This is a single center, prospective, randomized, unblinded, open-label, active controlled pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor plus aspirin versus clopidogrel plus aspirin in patients with Rutherford Stage IV to VI PAD that have undergone a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the lower extremities in the past 2 weeks.

Read the detailed description

Enrollment into the study will require severe symptomatic CLI without wounds (Rutherford Stage IV) or CLI with concomitant vascular insufficiency wounds (Rutherford Stage V-VI PAD).

Potential participants will be identified and screened prior to discharge or at the time of the first out-patient visit (within 2 weeks after discharge) after a percutaneous lower extremity arterial angiography with arterial intervention (stent or balloon angioplasty) for the presence of lower extremity vascular insufficiency. Participants will be classified as Rutherford Class IV - VI (with or without ulcerations). A total of 60 patients will be randomized into 2 treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio (ticagrelor to clopidogrel). Patients are placed on clopidogrel after their arterial intervention per standard of care. They will remain on clopidogrel up to the time that randomization occurs. For patients that are randomized to ticagrelor, the clopidogrel will be stopped.

Patients will be randomized to either ticagrelor 90mg by mouth twice daily or clopidogrel 75mg by mouth daily.

What is being measured

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

  1. Absolute Change in TcPO2 From Baseline to Month 6

    The primary endpoint is the absolute change in TcPO2 from baseline to month 6 compared between treatment groups.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2021. 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 United States. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jul 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Absolute Change in TcPO2 From Baseline to Month 6 (time frame: 6 months). 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 7 Jul 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
