Trial summary

Rationale: Dual antiplatelet therapy, consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12-inhibitor, reduces the risk of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction and stroke after coronary stent implantation. Inevitably, it is also associated with a higher risk of (major) bleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Rationale: Dual antiplatelet therapy, consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12-inhibitor, reduces the risk of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction and stroke after coronary stent implantation. Inevitably, it is also associated with a higher risk of (major) bleeding. Given the advances in stent properties, stenting implantation technique and pharmacology, it may be possible to treat patients with a single antiplatelet strategy using a potent P2Y12-inhibitor such as prasugrel or ticagrelor.

Objective: This study will serve as a pilot to investigate the feasibility and safety of a single antiplatelet strategy with prasugrel or ticagrelor prior to, during and after stent implantation in 75 patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

Study design: Single-center, single arm pilot study with a stopping rule based on the occurrence of definite stent thrombosis.

Study population: Patients presenting with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and (a) 'de novo' lesion(s) treated with new generation drug-eluting stent(s) with adequate reduction of platelet reactivity according to platelet function testing with VerifyNow and optimal stenting result adjudicated by optical coherence tomography or coronary angiography.

Intervention: Once daily 10 mg prasugrel or twice daily 90 mg ticagrelor for 12 months preceded by a loading dose of 60 mg prasugrel or 180 mg ticagrelor at least 2 hours prior to percutaneous coronary intervention without concurrent aspirin therapy.

Main study endpoint: The primary ischemic endpoints is the composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, Academic Research Consortium defined stent thrombosis and ischemic stroke at 6 months after percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary bleeding outcome is major or minor bleeding defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 2, 3 or 5 bleeding at 6 months after percutaneous coronary intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prasugrel 10mg and Ticagrelor 90mg in people with Non ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 9 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 6 Mar 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Primary ischemic endpoint (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 6 Mar 2023.
