About this study

Official title: Comparison of Triflusal and Clopidogrel Effect in Secondary Prevention of Stroke Based on the Cytochrome P450 2C19 Genotyping

The purpose of this study is to compare the preventive effect of stroke between triflusal and clopidogrel in ischemic stroke patient based on the cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) polymorphism.

Read the detailed description

Clopidogrel has anti-platelet activity by irreversible inhibition of the P2Y12 platelet receptor. Clopidogrel must be converted into an active metabolite in order to show anti-platelet activity. Hepatic CYP2C19 enzyme is one of the key hepatic enzymes which convert clopidogrel into active metabolite and its genetic polymorphism is related to clopidogrel resistance. CYP2C19 poor or intermediate metabolizer groups show reduced anti-platelet activity of clopidogrel compared to extensive metabolizer group.

This study is designed to prove the superiority of the triflusal in preventing recurrent stroke over the clopidogrel in ischemic stroke patient with poor or intermediate metabolizer of CYP2C19 polymorphism. Also we plan to prove that clopidogrel resistance is related to CYP2C19 polymorphism by comparing the ischemic preventive effect of clopidogrel between groups of different CYP2C19 polymorphism.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to first recurrent stroke

    The study will finish at least 2 years after the recruit of 1080th patients. Until the finish, patients will continuously take study medications and visit every 3months at the study site.

    We will measure primary outcome during the follow-up period (minimum 2.8 years to maximum 4 years - maximum time is determined by estimated enrollment time period of 2.8 years).

    Measured: 2.8 to 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to first of composite cardiovascular events, MI or coronary artery revascularization and ischemic stroke

    The study will finish at least 2 years after the recruit of 1080th patients. Until the finish, patients will continuously take study medications and visit every 3months at the study site.

    We will measure secondary outcomes during the follow-up period (minimum 2.8 years to maximum 4 years - maximum time is determined by estimated enrollment time period of 2.8 years).

    Measured: 2.8 to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Triflusal and Clopidogrel in people with Cerebral Infarction, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital at 18 sites in South Korea.

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 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 17 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in South Korea. 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?

Time to first recurrent stroke (time frame: 2.8 to 4 years). 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 NCT01174693, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Mar 2015.
