About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Duration of Platelet Inhibition by Aspirin in a Standard 24-hour Interval Dosing Regimen

The well established importance of regular aspirin administration stands on firm grounds, as large meta-analyses have shown this therapy to significantly reduce the risk of death. However, not all patients benefit of aspirin administration to the same extent, thus high-lighting a sub-population of patients with inadequate platelet response to ASA. The mechanisms underlying reduced ASA efficacy remain elusive. A recent report has suggested that platelets, long believed to be incapable of de novo protein synthesis, may retain their ability to form the cyclooxygenase enzyme, once it has been inactivated by aspirin. This may explain the inefficacy of the drug to induce sustained platelet inhibition in certain patients.

The current study aims to evaluate, in patients suffering from stable coronary artery disease, the stability of platelet inhibition by aspirin during the normal once daily dosing regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Centre Integre Universitaire de Sante et Services Sociaux du Nord de l'ile de Montreal at 1 site in Canada.

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 9 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 21 Aug 2012. 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 Canada. 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?

Platelet aggregation TxA2 formation. 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 21 Aug 2012.
