About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Adjusted Clopidogrel Dose in Patients With Insufficient Platelet Inhibition After Elective Coronary Stenting

This study is a prospective, single-center evaluation of the efficacy of clopidogrel dose adjustment in patients with insufficient platelet inhibition after elective coronary stent implantation.

Read the detailed description

Background: The EXCELSIOR trial demonstrated a 7-fold increased risk for death, myocardial infarction and target vessel reintervention within 30 days in patients with platelet inhibition below median of study cohort after a bolus dose of 600 mg of clopidogrel. The median of platelet inhibition in this cohort was 14 % optical aggregation after stimulation with 5 µM ADP.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of clopidogrel dose adjustment in patients with insufficient platelet inhibition after elective coronary stent implantation

Methods: This prospective, single-center study will evaluate antiplatelet effects in 120 patients receiving a bolus dose of 600 mg of clopidogrel before undergoing elective coronary stent implantation. Platelet inhibition will be evaluated 24 hours, 14 and 28 days after coronary intervention using optical aggregometry (5 µM ADP) and determination of surface protein expression by flow cytometry (P-Selectin, gp55, activated GP IIb/IIIa). If 24 hours after coronary stent implantation optical aggregation is >14 %, patients will receive an additional bolus dose of 300 mg of clopidogrel, followed by a daily dose of 150 mg for at least 28 days. If optical aggregation at this point of time is ≤14 % patients will receive a daily dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel. No further dose adjustments during follow up will be performed.

Hypothesis: Adjustment of clopidogrel dose in patients with insufficient platelet inhibition determined by optical aggregometry will provide a comparable antiplatelet effect as in patients with sufficient platelet inhibition after coronary stent implantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Antiplatelet effect after fourteen and twenty-eight days determined by optical aggregometry after stimulation with ADP

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Antiplatelet effect after fourteen and twenty-eight days determined by flow cytometric evaluation of surface protein expression after stimulation with ADP

  2. Major cardiac events within thirty days (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel reintervention)

  3. Bleeding and vascular access site complications within thirty days

  4. Drug-drug interaction of clopidogrel with concomitant treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adjustment of clopidogrel dose in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Drug Resistance, run by University Heart Center Freiburg - Bad Krozingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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 4 Jul 2006. 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 Germany. 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.

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?

Antiplatelet effect after fourteen and twenty-eight days determined by optical aggregometry after stimulation with ADP. 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 4 Jul 2006.
