Trial summary

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) guidelines have been changed, favoring dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with the more potent P2Y12 inhibitor ticagrelor over clopidogrel (besides aspirin). This change is based on studies that showed benefits of ticagrelor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clopidogrel or Ticagrelor in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Treated With Newer-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents: CHANGE DAPT

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) guidelines have been changed, favoring dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with the more potent P2Y12 inhibitor ticagrelor over clopidogrel (besides aspirin). This change is based on studies that showed benefits of ticagrelor. However, study participants were only partly treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In patients who were treated by PCI, this was generally performed using of bare metal or first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES).

CHANGE DAPT is an investigator-initiated, prospective, single centre registry, in which we evaluate the impact of the guideline suggested change in the primary DAPT regimen (from clopidogrel to ticagrelor) on 1-year clinical outcome in ACS patients treated by PCI with newer-generation DES in the Thoraxcentrum Twente.

What is being measured

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

  1. Net adverse clinical and cerebral events (NACCE)

    A composite of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, stroke, or major bleeding.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. All-cause death

    All-cause mortality

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Any myocardial infarction

    According to the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definition

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Stroke

    Focal loss of neurologic function caused by an ischemic or hemorrhagic event with residual symptoms lasting at least 24 hours or leading to death

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Major Bleeding

    Defined by Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major bleeding or TIMI in the setting of coronary artery bypass grafting, and/or any Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) class 3 or 5.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Any clinically indicated revascularization

    Revascularization by PCI or CABG

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Stent thrombosis

    According to the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definition

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by Thorax Centrum Twente at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 Jun 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 Netherlands. 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?

Net adverse clinical and cerebral events (NACCE) (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03197298, 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 23 Jun 2017.
