About this study

To compare the effect of PRU(platelet (P2Y12) reaction units)-guided treatment on the change in

  1. time of initial leg pain and time of termination of exercise test by pain, evaluated on the graded stationary bicycle test,
  2. the lower limb perfusion by using MRI blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) and dynamic contrast enhancement sequences and measures the extracellular volume fraction (ECV) as an indicator of fibrosis severity in calf muscles, from one to 52 weeks post-revascularization in patients with peripheral artery disease who have undergone endovascular revascularization -/+ bypass surgery for moderate to severe claudication or ischemic rest pain.
Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomly assigned to PRU-guided and non-PRU-guided group. In the non-PRU -target group, dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel 75 mg and aspirin 100 mg daily will be continued for 6 months after the procedure for patient followed with single antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel 75 mg daily throughout the follow-up period. In the PRU-target group, dual antiplatelet therapy will be the same protocol as in the non-PRU-target group for patients with PRU <234 seconds. However, for patients in the PRU-target group with PRU ≥234 seconds, rescue medicine will be added to keep PRU<234 seconds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing platelet (P2Y12) reaction units, ticagrelor and Comparator in people with Peripheral Artery Disease, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 17 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2016. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Peak exercise time (time frame: month 0,12,or Early Termination). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 May 2016.
