About this study

Official title: Rapid P2Y12 Receptor Inhibition Attenuates Inflammatory Cell Infiltration in Thrombus Aspirated From the Infarct-related Artery in STEMI Patients: A Prospective Randomized Trial of Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel

This is a prospective, randomized, parallel design study to investigate that ticagrelor could attenuate inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 9 months, including an anticipated enrolment period of 8 months and follow-up period of 1 month. Patients within 12 hours of symptom onset were randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to receive ticagrelor or clopidogrel at time of STEMI diagnosis. The primary endpoint was the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from STEMI patients, expressed as number of total inflammatory cells per mm2 thrombus area.

This is a prospective, randomized, parallel design study to investigate that ticagrelor could attenuate inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from STEMI patients. The anticipated duration of the study is approximately 9 months, including an anticipated enrolment period of 8 months and follow-up period of 1 month. Patients within 12 hours of symptom onset were randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to receive ticagrelor or clopidogrel at time of STEMI diagnosis. The primary endpoint was the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from STEMI patients, expressed as number of total inflammatory cells per mm2 thrombus area.

Screening will be made to select eligible participants before intervention. Patients with documented STEMI and within 12 hours of symptom onset will be enrolled from the study site. For patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), they must be on dual-antiplatelet therapy for at least 12 months to be eligible for the study.

After the enrollment period, patients were randomly assigned in a one-to-one ratio to receive ticagrelor (180 mg loading dose) or clopidogrel (600 mg loading dose) at time of STEMI diagnosis. In addition to randomized study medication all patients should receive concomitant Ace Salicylic Acid (ASA) 100 mg daily during the treatment period according to local practice, unless they are allergic or intolerant. For those not previously given aspirin, a loading dose of 300 mg was preferred. At the end of the study, data will be collected and analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of total inflammatory cells per mm2 thrombus area.

    To evaluate the efficacy of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel for the attenuation of inflammatory cell infiltration in thrombus aspirated from STEMI patients.

    Measured: Thrombus will be got from aspiration in culprit lesions during primary PCI.It will be fixed immediately and tested in 48 hours.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Intracoronary thrombus size

    Measured: Thrombus will be got from aspiration in culprit lesions during primary PCI.It will be fixed immediately and tested in 48 hours.

  2. Number of neutrophils per mm2 thrombus area

    Measured: Thrombus will be got from aspiration in culprit lesions during primary PCI.It will be fixed immediately and tested in 48 hours.

  3. Number of macrophages per mm2 thrombus area

    Measured: Thrombus will be got from aspiration in culprit lesions during primary PCI.It will be fixed immediately and tested in 48 hours.

  4. Number of Myeloperoxidase-positive cells per mm2 thrombus area

    Measured: Thrombus will be got from aspiration in culprit lesions during primary PCI.It will be fixed immediately and tested in 48 hours.

  5. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level

    A total of three times

    Measured: after randomization and before loading dose P2Y12 receptor inhibitor,5-7 days after PCI,1 month ± 5 days.

  6. Plasma concentration of ticagrelor

    Measured: At 90 min, 2h, 8h, 12h and 24h after received loading dose P2Y12 receptor inhibitor.

  7. Rate of Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major bleeding

    Measured: Follow up: 1 month ± 5 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in people with Inflammation and Thrombosis, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University.

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 13 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 23 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Number of total inflammatory cells per mm2 thrombus area. (time frame: Thrombus will be got from aspiration in culprit lesions during primary PCI.It will be fixed immediately and tested in 48 hours.). 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 23 Aug 2021.
