About this study

Official title: Comparison of Circadian Variability of Platelet Inhibition in Patients With Myocardial Infarction Treated With Prasugrel and Ticagrelor

The aim of this study is to compare circadian variability of antiplatelet effect of prasugrel and ticagrelor maintenance doses during the initial days after acute myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

Prasugrel and ticagrelor are two oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists recommended as a part of dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Both drugs exert comparable antiplatelet effect following a loading dose. However, pharmacodynamic differences exist between these P2Y12 receptor inhibitors. Prasugrel is a prodrug that requires hepatic activation and permanently binds to platelet P2Y12 receptors, whereas ticagrelor is an active drug and blocks P2Y12 receptors reversibly. Another important difference is that prasugrel maintenance dose is administered once daily, while ticagrelor requires next dosage every 12 hours. These fundamental distinctions may affect the degree of platelet inhibition on maintenance doses during the first days after acute myocardial infarction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Collegium Medicum w Bydgoszczy at 2 sites in Poland.

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 4 inclusion and 14 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 26 Feb 2020. 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 Poland. 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?

Circadian variability of platelet inhibition assessed with VASP (time frame: Day 4 after acute myocardial infarction). 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 26 Feb 2020.
