About this study

Official title: Comparison of Ticagrelor Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction and Non-ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients

The purpose of the PINPOINT study is to compare pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ticagrelor in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients designated to invasive strategy. Data regarding comparison of PK and antiplatelet action of ticagrelor in STEMI and NSTEMI are sparse. Recommended dosing regimens of ticagrelor are identical for both STEMI and NSTEMI, although it is not known whether PK and PD features of ticagrelor are uniform in these patients.

Read the detailed description

The European Society of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines recommend use of ticagrelor or prasugrel as a treatment of choice in patients with both STEMI and NSTEMI (class of recommendation I, level of evidence B). Recommended dosing regimens of ticagrelor are identical in STEMI and NSTEMI patients, although epidemiology, clinical approach and early outcomes differ between these two types of myocardial infarction. It is not known whether PK and PD features of ticagrelor are uniform in STEMI and NSTEMI patients. However, the existing body of evidence suggest that PK and PD of ticagrelor may be attenuated in STEMI patients compared to healthy subjects and patients with stable coronary artery disease, which may expose STEMI patients at increased risk of developing thrombotic complications secondary to insufficient platelet inhibition. The PINPOINT study could provide a valuable insight into the knowledge regarding ticagrelor action in STEMI vs. NSTEMI patients.

Since there is no reference study comparing pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor in STEMI and NSTEMI patients, we decided to perform an internal pilot study of approximately 30 patients (15 patients with each type of myocardial infarction) for estimating the final sample size.

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 15 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 28 Apr 2017. 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 Poland. 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?

Area under the plasma concentration-time curve for ticagrelor (AUC 0-6h) (time frame: prior to the initial dose and 30min, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h post dose). 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 NCT02602444, which also lists 2 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.
