About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multi-Center Study To Assess The Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) And Safety Of Different Cangrelor Doses In Neonatal Subjects At Risk Of Thrombosis

The purpose of this study is to assess the PK/PD and safety profile of cangrelor in neonatal participants at risk of thrombosis.

Being tested
Cangrelor

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CangrelorDrug

Study groups in NCT02765633
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CangrelorExperimentalCangrelor in up to four (4) dose cohorts consisting of a minimum of five participants in each cohort. One cohort of five participants will be enrolled at a time. Cohort 1 subjects will receive Cangrelor at 0.5 mcg/kg/min. Cohort 2 subjects will receive Cangrelor at 0.25 mcg/kg/min. Subsequent cohort dosing decisions are made at the completion of enrollment in each cohort.
Receives: Drug: Cangrelor

What is being measured

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

  1. Total plasma concentrations of cangrelor and its primary metabolite, AR C69712, during administration and after cessation of the infusion in neonates

    Measured: During study drug infusion through 8 hours post infusion

  2. Proportion of participants in each cohort who achieve ≥90% inhibition of final platelet aggregation as measured by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) using 20 micromolar (µM) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in platelet rich plasma

    Measured: During study drug infusion through 1 hour post infusion

  3. Individual recovery of platelet function in neonates after cessation of the infusion

    Measured: Up to 1 hour post infusion

  4. Assessment of the safety of cangrelor in neonatal participants by evaluating adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Measured: from start of cangrelor infusion through 48 hours post cangrelor infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cangrelor in people with Partial Obstruction of Systemic to Pulmonary Artery Shunt and Complete Obstruction of Systemic to Pulmonary Artery Shunt, run by Chiesi Farmaceutici S.p.A. at 2 sites 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 18 inclusion and 0 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 15 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Total plasma concentrations of cangrelor and its primary metabolite, AR C69712, during administration and after cessation of the infusion in neonates (time frame: During study drug infusion through 8 hours post infusion). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02765633, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Feb 2023.
