Trial summary

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor inhibitor remains a cornerstone in the secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). Clopidogrel is one of the most commonly used antithrombotic agent that inhibits the platelet P2Y(12) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Effectiveness and Safety Analysis of Low-dose and Standard-dose Ticagrelor in Chinese Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and P2Y12 receptor inhibitor remains a cornerstone in the secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). Clopidogrel is one of the most commonly used antithrombotic agent that inhibits the platelet P2Y(12) adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor.

Ticagrelor is an oral, reversibly-binding, direct-acting P2Y12 receptor antagonist used clinically for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Guideline recommendations on the use of dual antiplatelet therapy have been formulated that ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily plus aspirin in preference to clopidogrel 75mg daily plus aspirin for ACS patients. The previous studies have reported that half-dose ticagrelor had the similar inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation as the standard-dose ticagrelor, which was significantly stronger than that in the clopidogrel group. One-quarter standard-dose ticagrelor provided greater degree of platelet inhibition than standard dose clopidogrel in Chinese patients with stable CAD. But the effectiveness and safety of low-dose ticagrelor remain yet not very clearly in Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing half-dose ticagrelor and standard-dose ticagrelor in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2018. 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 China. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guangzhong Liu, PhD (86-451-85555673, lgz2700@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

thromboela-stogram (time frame: up to 6 months). The study lists 2 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 12 Sep 2018.
