About this study

The purpose of the study is to investigate contemporary antiplatelet therapy management of patients referred for non-cardiac and cardiac surgical procedures while on chronic therapy with antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant drugs. These medications are routinely prescribed to patients following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), known diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, prosthetic heart valves, transcatheter aortic valve procedures, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, peripheral artery revascularization procedures etc. This is a highly relevant and understudied clinical area with no randomized clinical trials or large-scale prospective evidence, except for bridging data with unfractionated heparin (UFH). Most recommendations and guidelines are based on consensus expert opinion. While post-PCI patients, especially those treated with coronary stents are placed on dual antiplatelet agents such as aspirin and P2Y12 blocking agents, performing surgery while on these agents increase the risk of hemorrhagic complications, discontinuation or interruption of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has been associated with adverse ischemic outcomes secondary to myocardial infarction (MI) and stent thrombosis (ST). Moreover, there is only no clear consensus regarding continuation of aspirin perioperatively in these patients. As in the case of PCI, similar arguments for juxtaposed risks (thrombosis vs. bleeding) can be made for a myriad of clinical situations where chronic (≥45 days) use antiplatelet and anticoagulant medication (together referred to as antithrombotic drugs) are indicated. In addition, there are many procedures and surgeries with different bleeding and ischemic risks that cannot be studies through dedicated randomized studies and a registry collection of such information could provide valuable guidance to providers and patients worldwide.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Outcomes (Net Adverse Cardiovascular events (%))

    A composite of Death, Non-Fatal MI, Ischemic Stroke, Need for Urgent Coronary Revascularization, and Bleeding (defined by Bleeding Associated Research Consortium- BARC)

    Measured: time of study reporting initiation (14 days prior to CNCS) to end of study (30 days post-CNCS).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery and Perioperative/Postoperative Complications, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 13 Feb 2024. 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 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.

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?

Clinical Outcomes (Net Adverse Cardiovascular events (%)) (time frame: time of study reporting initiation (14 days prior to CNCS) to end of study (30 days post-CNCS).). 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 NCT03695159, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 13 Feb 2024.
