Trial summary

Ticagrelor, a direct-acting oral P2Y12-receptor antagonist, provides greater and more consistent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. This study aimed to compare outcomes of ticagrelor plus aspirin versus clopidogrel plus aspirin 1 year after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in patients with… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients With Clopidogrel Resistance Following Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass: Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial

Ticagrelor, a direct-acting oral P2Y12-receptor antagonist, provides greater and more consistent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. This study aimed to compare outcomes of ticagrelor plus aspirin versus clopidogrel plus aspirin 1 year after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in patients with clopidogrel resistance.

Read the detailed description

Between November 2014 and November 2020, 1739 patients underwent OPCAB. Aspirin (100mg daily) and clopidogrel (75mg daily) were administered beginning at aday 1 after surgery. On the 7th postoperative day, the clopidogrel resistance was evaluated by point-of-care assay. Among them, the patients had clopidogrel resistance were enrolled in this study. Investigators divide them into two groups [A: ticagrelor, B; clopidogrel]. Primary endpoint was all-cause of mortality 1 year after OPCAB. Secondary endpoint included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke). Multivariate Cox regression was used to evaluate predictors of end points.

What is being measured

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

  1. Early graft patency

    graft occlusion rate diagnosed by CT exam, at follow-up angiography, grafts were evaluated by use of the usual definition of patency and were assessed for FitzGibbon patency with the A, B, and O classification system in which FitzGibbon A is an excellent/unimpaired graft, Bis an impaired graft with a stenosis >50% reducing the caliber of the graft to <50% of the target artery diameter, and O is a completely occluded graft.

    Measured: 1 year after OPCAB

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. degree of resistance

    Platelet reactivity was assayed using the VeriofyNowP2Y12 assay (Accumetrics Inc, San Diego, CA) which is a cartridge-based assay that specifically measures the direct effects of clopidogrel on the platelet P2Y12 receptor. The results are expressed as P2Y12 reaction units (PRUs) for clopidogrel. The cut-off PRU value was 188 PRU and the details were described previous study.

    Measured: 7 day after surgery

  2. Number of patients with resistance with clopidogrel as assessed by VeriofyNowP2Y12 assay

    The cut-off PRU value was 188 PRU

    Measured: 7 day after surgery

  3. Mediastinal Bleeding

    total drainage counts (ml) from median tubes

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  4. Total hospital day from admission to discharge

    Measured: up to 4 weeks

  5. rate of postoperative stroke of myocardial infarction

    Measured: Participants will be followed during 1 years from operation

  6. rate of postoperative morbidity/ mortality

    Measured: Participants will be followed during 5 years from operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in people with Multi Vessel Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Dec 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Young-Nam Youn (82-10-9930-4522, ysgs@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Early graft patency (time frame: 1 year after OPCAB). 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 NCT05166538, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Dec 2021.
