About this study

Official title: Acute Myocardial Necrosis and Depression: Antiplatelet Effect of Reuptake Inhibition of Serotonin: The ANDROS Study

Primary purpose:

To evaluate the evolution in time of the antiaggregant platelet effect of sertraline (SSRI) compared to placebo in depressive patients with ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) and treated as recommended by a double antiplatelet therapy, aspirin and clopidogrel.

Hypothesis:

The benefits of SSRIs observed in depressive patients with ACS are related to an antiplatelet effect.

Read the detailed description

Rational:

40% of patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) present depressive symptoms. The increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality at 6 months (hazard ratio = 3.5) could partly be explained by an alteration of the platelet parameters in patients with depression.

Sertraline is a potent inhibitor of the selective serotonin reuptake (SSRI). At the platelet level, it decreases the secretion induced by collagen and causes the inhibition of serotonin reuptake and platelet activation, wider than the simple anti-serotonergic effect. Its efficacy on depression of patients with ACS has been demonstrated (-20% of ischemic events at 24 weeks vs placebo), partly independent of the correction of depressive symptoms, and with a wide safety action. Antiplatelet, anti-inflammatory and endothelial function effects of sertraline are demonstrated in healthy volunteers, in stable patients and in patients with heart failure, but have never been explored in ACS .

Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial comparing SSRI and placebo in depressive patients with ACS.

A control (non depressive) ACS group will also do the clinical and laboratory follow-up at the same time (without drug administration), to constitute a reference for platelet parameters and to allow a comparison with the depressive ACS group treated with placebo.

Randomization and initiation of the treatment at the end of the hospitalization for ACS (possibly after reperfusion and stabilization of cardiac medication)

What is being measured

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

  1. Time dependent pattern of changes in platelet reactivity under sertraline compared to placebo within a time Frame of 6 months of treatment

    To evaluate the time variation of the level of platelet reactivity (ADP induced residual aggregation) under sertraline compared to placebo within a time Frame of 6 months of treatment.

    Time Frame:

    T0 = before starting treatment with sertraline T1 = at discharge from the hospital = J1 after introduction of treatment with sertraline T2 = 6 weeks of treatment with sertraline T3 = 24 weeks of treatment with sertraline = end of treatment with sertraline T4 = 4 weeks after the end of treatment with sertraline (biological and psychiatric rebound)

    Measured: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time dependent pattern of changes in platelet activation

    Maximal platelet aggregation (ADP, Arachidonic Acid, Collagen), markers of platelet activation (betaTG, CD40s)

    Measured: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks

  2. Time dependent pattern of changes in inflammation markers

    Dosage of inflammation markers (IL-6, CRP, Fg, myeloperoxydase)

    Measured: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks

  3. Time dependent changes in Depression

    Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)

    Measured: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks

  4. Time dependent changes in Tobacco addiction

    Fargenström test

    Measured: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks

  5. Time dependent changes in Bleeding risk

    Dosage of hemoglobin, hematocrit and follow-up of hemorrhage

    Measured: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sertraline and No treatment in people with Depression and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 26 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 3 May 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 France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Investigator's decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Time dependent pattern of changes in platelet reactivity under sertraline compared to placebo within a time Frame of 6 months of treatment (time frame: 0 day, 1 day, 6 weeks, 24 weeks, 28 weeks). 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 3 May 2016.
