About this study

Official title: Does Pretreatment With Persantin Reduce Periprocedural Troponin-I Release in Patients Undergoing Elective Single Vessel PCI

In this study the investigators will investigate whether a short pretreatment (3-7 days) with dipyridamole 200mg twice daily will protect patients against myocardial injury sustained during an elective dotter operation of the coronary arteries (PCI).

The investigators hypothesize that dipyridamole can reduce myocardial injury sustained during elective PCI.

Read the detailed description

Rationale:

In elective PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) up to 40% of the patients show an asymptomatic rise in myonecrosis marker troponin-I. This release of troponin-I has been found to represent irreversible myocardial injury and has been related to an increased risk of restenosis and even long-term mortality. Dipyridamole has been proven to induce protection against ischemia reperfusion injury and to reduce risk of cardiovascular death or event in secondary prevention after TIA or CVA.

Objective:

To test the hypothesis that dipyridamole improves tolerance to ischemia reperfusion injury in patients undergoing elective PCI.

Study design:

Double-blind placebo controlled intervention study

Study population:

Patients undergoing elective PCI

Intervention:

pretreatment with dipyridamole (Persantin Retard) 2dd 200mg or placebo.

Main study parameters:

Periprocedural troponin-I release measured 8 hours after PCI.

Bioequivalence study:

before the start of th clinical trial we will perform a bioequivalent study to test whether our study medication (blinded by recapsuling) equals original dipyridamole capsules. 6 Healthy volunteers in a cross-over randomised design will take original dipyridamole 200 mg SR and recapsuled dipyridamole 200mg SR (prepared by the department of pharmacy of the RUNMC). Plasma dipyridamole concentration will be measured frequently and at baseline and 1 and 3 hours after administration of dipyridamole nucleoside transport inhibitions of erythrocytes will be measured, to assess drug activity.

The clinical trial will only be initialized after conformation of bioequivalence of the study medication to the original dipyridamole.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac troponin-I

    Measured: before and 8 hours after PCI

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Effect of pretreatment with dipyridamole 2x200mg on biomarkers reflecting vascular inflammation (hs-CRP, PLA2, PTX3, IL-6, adiponectin, MCP-1, MMP-9)

    Measured: 3 days treatment minimal

  2. Effect of PCI on biomarkers reflecting vascular inflammation (hs-CRP, PLA2, PTX3, IL-6, adiponectin, MCP-1, MMP-9)

    Measured: before and 8 hours after PCI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dipyridamole in people with Coronary Heart Disease and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 14 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 30 Oct 2015. 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 Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Cardiac troponin-I (time frame: before and 8 hours after PCI). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00767663, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 30 Oct 2015.
