About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Ticagrelor With Low-dose Aspirin Versus Regular Aspirin in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome at High-risk for Ischemia After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Randomized Controlled Study

The present study is aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor with low-dose Aspirin versus standard dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at high risk for ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stent implantation.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint evaluation, single-center Study. There will be 1220 ACS patients at high risk for ischemic events after successful PCI with implantation of at least one drug eluting stent who will be enrolled in Fuwai Hospital, China. Then those included subjects will be randomized to either Ticagrelor plus low-dose Aspirin (50mg daily, LD group) or Ticagrelor plus regular dose Aspirin (75mg daily, control group) for 12 months. The primary endpoint of the current study is to determine the impact of low-dose Aspirin plus Ticagrelor versus standard DAPT for 12 months on major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCEs), and the secondary endpoint is to determine whether the protocol of low dose Aspirin plus Ticagrelor reduces bleeding events, sufficiently inhibits platelet function, and increases the medication adherence among the included patients. In summary, the present study is to provide new evidence and strategy about the anti-platelet protocol for ACS patients at high risk for ischemia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCEs)

    Number of participants with a composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke or urgent target vessel revascularization

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Bleeding episode (Key secondary endpoint)

    Number of participants with major bleeding(Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types ≥3) and/or minor bleeding(Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types 0-2)

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  2. Platelet function

    Platelet inhibition, blood level and urine level of thromboxaneB2(TXB2)

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  3. Medication adherence

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

  4. Bleeding-related withdrawal

    Measured: 12 months after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aspirin and Ticagrelor in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Interventional Cardiology, run by Fu Wai Hospital, Beijing, China at 1 site in China.

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 22 inclusion and 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Haiyan Qian, MD, PhD (+8613811386143, ahqhy712@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCEs) (time frame: 12 months after randomization). 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 18 Jun 2024.
