What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) to 20 Micromolar (μM) Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)

    Maximum platelet aggregation (MPA) to 20 μM adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was assessed by light transmission aggregometry (LTA).

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. MPA to 5 μM ADP

    Maximum platelet aggregation to 5 μM ADP was assessed by LTA.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  2. Mean Residual Platelet Aggregation (RPA) to 20 µM ADP

    Residual platelet aggregation is the percentage (%) aggregation value as measured by LTA at 6 minutes after the addition of ADP.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  3. Mean Residual Platelet Aggregation (RPA) to 5 µM ADP

    Residual platelet aggregation is the percentage (%) aggregation value as measured by LTA at 6 minutes after the addition of ADP.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  4. Inhibition Platelet Aggregation (IPA) to 20 μM ADP

    IPA is calculated as a percent decrease of MPA from baseline using the following formula:

    ([MPA at baseline - MPA at time of postbaseline] / MPA at baseline) x 100%

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  5. Inhibition Platelet Aggregation (IPA) to 5 μM ADP

    IPA is calculated as a percent decrease of MPA from baseline using the following formula:

    ([MPA at baseline - MPA at time of postbaseline] / MPA at baseline) x 100%

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  6. Inhibition of Residual Platelet Aggregation (IRPA) to 20 μM ADP

    IRPA is calculated as a percent decrease of RPA from baseline using the following formula:

    ([RPA at baseline - RPA at time of postbaseline] / RPA at baseline) x 100%

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  7. Inhibition of Residual Platelet Aggregation (IRPA) to 5 μM ADP

    IRPA is calculated as a percent decrease of RPA from baseline using the following formula:

    ([RPA at baseline - RPA at time of postbaseline] / RPA at baseline) x 100%

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  8. Platelet Reactivity Index (PRI)

    Platelet Reactivity Index percentage was assessed by Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). PRI percent (%) was calculated using the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) of samples included with prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and ADP, according to the following formula:

    PRI%=[(MFI(PGE1)-MFI(PGE1 + ADP)/MFI(PGE1)]x100

    Lower PRI% values indicate greater P2Y12 receptor blockade.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  9. P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU)

    P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) assessed by Accumetrics Verify NowTM P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of adenosine (ADP)-stimulated platelet aggregation. Lower values indicate greater P2Y12 platelet inhibition.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  10. Poor Responder of MPA to 20 μM ADP Following Maintenance Dose (MD)

    Poor responder is defined as MPA to 20 μM ADP >75th percentile of the value at 6-18 hours post-clopidogrel LD.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  11. Change in MPA to 20 μM ADP From Baseline to 6-18 Hrs Post Loading Dose (LD)

    Maximum platelet aggregation to 20 μM ADP was assessed by LTA.

    Measured: Baseline to 6-18 hrs post loading dose (LD)

  12. Change in MPA to 20 μM ADP From 6-18 Hrs Post Loading Dose (LD) to 14 Days After the First Maintenance Dose (MD)

    Maximum platelet aggregation to 20 μM ADP was assessed by LTA.

    Measured: 6-18 hrs post loading dose (LD) to 14 days after the first maintenance dose (MD)

  13. MPA to 20 μM ADP at 14 Days After the First Maintenance Dose (MD)

    Maximum platelet aggregation to 20 μM ADP was assessed by LTA.

    Measured: 14 days after the first maintenance dose (MD)

  14. MPA to 20 μM ADP at 14 Days After the Second Maintenance Dose (MD)

    Maximum platelet aggregation to 20 μM ADP was assessed by LTA.

    Measured: 14 days after the second maintenance dose (MD)

  15. Number of Participants With Bleeding Events According to Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Study Group (TIMI) Criteria

    Bleeding events will be classified as Major Bleeding, Minor Bleeding, or Insignificant Bleeding according to the TIMI criteria. Major bleeding: any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) OR any clinically overt bleeding (including bleeding evident on imaging studies) associated with a fall in hemoglobin (Hgb) of ≥5 gm/dL from baseline. Minor Bleeding: any clinically overt bleeding associated with a fall in Hgb of ≥3 grams/deciliter (gm/dL) but <5 gm/dL from baseline. Insignificant bleeding: any bleeding event that does not meet criteria for a Major or Minor bleed.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  16. Number of Participants With Bleeding Events According to Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO)

    Bleeding events will be classified according to the GUSTO definitions as follows: Severe or Life-Threatening Bleeding: any ICH OR any bleeding event resulting in substantial hemodynamic compromise requiring treatment. Moderate Bleeding: any bleeding event resulting in the need for transfusion. Minor bleeding: any other bleeding event that does not require transfusion or cause hemodynamic compromise.

    Measured: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)

  17. Correlation of MPA to 20 μM ADP and PRU

    Pearson-correlation estimated between MPA to 20 μM ADP and Accumetrics VerifyNowTM P2Y12 PRU

    Measured: Baseline through 29 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites in France.

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 10 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 16 Sep 2010. 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 France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Sep 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) to 20 Micromolar (μM) Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) (time frame: 14 days after maintenance dose (MD)). 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 16 Sep 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
