About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Crossover Study Comparing the Biochemical and Platelet Effects of Modified-release Dipyridamole/Aspirin (200mg/25 mg bd; Asasantin Retard®) With Aspirin (75 mg qd) in Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Aspirin Resistance Manifesting as Persistent Thromboxane Formation.

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether adding modified-release dipyridamole to aspirin (Asasantin Retard) has measurable effects on markers of platelet function (for example, platelet aggregation) in patients with cardiovascular disease who are known to be resistant to aspirin alone

Being tested

Individual data sharing
No: Clinical studies sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim, phases I to IV, interventional and non-interventional, are in scope for sharing of the raw clinical study data and clinical study documents. Exceptions might apply, e.g. studies in products where Boehringer Ingelheim is not the license holder; studies regarding pharmaceutical formulations and associated analytical methods, and studies pertinent to pharmacokinetics using human biomaterials; studies conducted in a single center or targeting rare diseases (in case of low number of patients and therefore limitations with anonymization).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing modified-release dipyridamole/aspirin and aspirin in people with Coronary Arteriosclerosis, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 2 sites in Ireland.

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 13 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 23 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Ireland. 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?

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?

platelet aggregation in response to arachidonic acid (time frame: baseline, day 14, day 30 of each period). 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 23 Jan 2025.
