Trial summary

Enhancing thrombotic risk stratification in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. Existing risk scores, which predict mortality risk and/or the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events, are based on clinical and laboratory parameters. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PLATELET-ASSOCIATED TISSUE FACTOR AS A NEW BIOMARKER FOR THROMBOTIC RISK STRATIFICATION IN PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE.

Enhancing thrombotic risk stratification in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is crucial for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. Existing risk scores, which predict mortality risk and/or the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events, are based on clinical and laboratory parameters. However, none of these scores incorporates the elevated platelet activation observed in CAD, a critical factor influencing disease progression.

Over the past two decades, research has consistently shown that activated platelets play a pivotal role in plaque formation. These platelets, together with fibrin, form the primary components of thrombi that obstruct coronary arteries, making them central to the pathogenesis of coronary syndromes. Published studies have highlighted how platelet activation triggers the expression of Tissue Factor (TF), a key glycoprotein involved in blood coagulation and thrombotic complications in atherosclerosis. Notably, in patients with coronary syndrome, platelet TF expression is significantly higher than in healthy individuals. The functional ability of platelet TF to generate thrombin further enhances the pro-thrombotic potential of these platelets, underscoring their critical role in thrombus formation.

The objective of this study is to validate the predictive value of platelet Tissue Factor (TF) for cardiovascular events in a cohort of secondary prevention patients treated with antiplatelet drugs, including clopidogrel, ticagrelor, prasugrel, and/or aspirin. The primary endpoint is the assessment of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death, over a 5-year follow-up period from admission.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Centro Cardiologico Monzino.

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 1 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 9 Apr 2025. 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?

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?

All-cause mortality and cardiovascular death (time frame: From enrollment to the end of 5-follow-up). 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 9 Apr 2025.
