About this study

Official title: Comparison of Prasugrel vs. Ticagrelor on Myocardial Injury in Revascularized ST Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients

The investigators propose to perform a randomized clinical trial comparing prasugrel vs. ticagrelor in 60 patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The principal objective of the study would be analyzing the difference in myocardial infarction size measured by cardiac magnetic resonance at 6 months

Read the detailed description

Dual antiplatelet therapy consisting of aspirin and one of the P2Y12 receptor inhibitors is the mainstay of treatment for patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Prasugrel or ticagrelor have actually shown to be superior to clopidogrel improving the prognosis of these patients. However, the industrial interest has avoided any direct comparison between these two antiplatelets. Comparison is of great interest considering that only ticagrelor has shown to significantly reduce mortality. As ticagrelor may exert off-target effects through adenosine-related mechanisms, the investigators aimed to investigate whether ticagrelor reduces myocardial injury to a greater extent than prasugrel in patients with revascularized STEMI.

Patients with acute STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary revascularization within 6 hours of chest pain, will be randomized to (1) prasugrel (a 60 mg oral loading and a 10-mg dailiy maintenance dose) or to (2) ticagrelor (a 180 mg loading dose and a 90 mg twice daily maintenance dose). The predefined primary end point is infarct sieze on magnetic resonance imaging at the end of the study (6 months). Magnetic resonance will be performed at day 1, day 7 and moth 6. Platelet reactivity, biomarkers and clinical outcomes will also be assesed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in people with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by AORTICA Group at 1 site in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 10 Jun 2019. 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 Spain. 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?

Infarct size (time frame: 6 months). 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 10 Jun 2019.
