Trial summary

Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet agent used to inhibit blood clots. Variation in response to clopidogrel has been reported among different population and may lead to reoccurring ischemic events. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This prospective study will be conducted in two sites (Ziv Medical Center, Safed, department of neurology, and Galilee Medical Center, Nahariya, department of neurology) on 300 patients from different ethnic backgrounds with an ischemic cerebrovascular event (ischemic stroke and TIA), treated with clopidrogel for secondary stroke prevention. The groups will consist of Jewish communities (Ashkenazi, Sephardi and Ethiopian) and Arab populations (Muslim, Christian and Druze). To be considered eligible to participate in this study, patients have to be able to provide signed and dated written informed consent or written assent from their relatives. Both genders aged 18 and above are eligible for this trial. Pregnant patients will be excluded.

Who may be able to join

  • Ability to provide written informed consent and to be compliant with protocol assessments.
  • Ages 18 and above inclusive
  • Both genders eligible for the study
  • Diagnosis of ischemic cerebrovascular event

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant patients will be excluded
  • Ages below 18
  • Patients not able to provide informed consent

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study Evaluating Clopidogrel Resistance in Ischemic Stroke Patients From Different Ethnicities

Clopidogrel is an anti-platelet agent used to inhibit blood clots. Variation in response to clopidogrel has been reported among different population and may lead to reoccurring ischemic events. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the incidence of clopidogrel resistance in ischemic stroke patients from different ethnicities in Northern Israel and to find different strategies to overcome high platelet reactivity including clopidogrel dose adjustment or the choice of alternative agents. Quantification of platelet aggregation will be determined by vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) assay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Clopidogrel, Poor Metabolism of and Ischemic Stroke, run by Ziv Hospital.

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 3 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 10 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Rates of clopidogrel resistance assessed among the different ethnicities (time frame: 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 10 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
