Trial summary

Polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 enzyme has been consistently shown to modulate clopidogrel response. Accordingly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on the potential for reduced efficacy of clopidogrel among carriers of loss-of-function alleles (LOF) for CYP2C19 and suggest… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pharmacodynamic Comparison of Prasugrel Versus Ticagrelor in Patients With CYP2C19 Loss-of-function Genotype: a Validation Study in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 enzyme has been consistently shown to modulate clopidogrel response. Accordingly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on the potential for reduced efficacy of clopidogrel among carriers of loss-of-function alleles (LOF) for CYP2C19 and suggest considering alternative antiplatelet therapies for these individuals.

The pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of prasugrel and ticagrelor are not affected by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms. However, to date there are no head-to-head PD comparisons between these agents among patients with different CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms, which is currently under investigation in CAD patients undergoing PCI at UF Health-Jacksonville (UFJ 2014-12, NCT 02065479). In order to rule out play of chance findings, pharmacogenetic investigations require external validation cohorts to support the study findings. Therefore, the present randomized study is designed to serve as an external validation cohort conducted in patients with established CAD not undergoing PCI testing the non-inferiority in platelet reactivity of prasugrel versus ticagrelor among CYP2C19 LOF allele carriers.

Read the detailed description

Therapeutic inhibition of platelet activation is essential for the management of ischemic cardiovascular disease. The use of platelet adenosine diphosphate (ADP) P2Y12 receptor antagonists (clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor) in addition to aspirin are associated with a decrease in cardiovascular events in high-risk coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Clopidogrel is the most broadly utilized P2Y12 receptor antagonist. However, among clopidogrel treated patients, there is broad variability in antiplatelet drug response which is known carry prognostic implications. Polymorphisms of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 enzyme has been consistently shown to modulate clopidogrel response. Accordingly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on the potential for reduced efficacy of clopidogrel among carriers of loss-of-function alleles (LOF) for CYP2C19 and suggest considering alternative antiplatelet therapies for these individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Florida at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 13 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 16 Sep 2020. 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 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

P2Y12 Reaction Unit (PRU) (time frame: at 24 hours post loading dose). 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 16 Sep 2020.
