About this study

Official title: ReAssessment of Anti-Platelet Therapy Using an InDividualized Strategy in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

The objective of the RAPID STEMI study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of a pharmacogenetic approach to anti-platelet therapy for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using point-of-care genetic testing for the CYP2C19*2, *17, and ABCB1 3435 C>T alleles.

Read the detailed description

Dual anti-platelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the treatment of STEMI has traditionally consisted of aspirin and clopidogrel. Despite this treatment approach, a substantial portion of patients experience recurrent adverse cardiovascular events including death, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis. This persistent vulnerability has been associated with inadequate platelet inhibition in response to clopidogrel administration, a phenomenon referred to as high on-treatment platelet reactivity. Although multiple variables have been implicated in altered clopidogrel response, mounting evidence has suggested a crucial role for common genetic variants including: CYP2C19*2, *17, and ABCB1 3435 C>T alleles.

Presence of the CYP2C19*2 allele has been associated with a 1.5- to 6-fold increased risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis following PCI in patients treated with clopidogrel. These findings, recently bolstered by 2 separate meta-analyses, led the American Food and Drug Administration to issue a boxed warning for clopidogrel stating that poor metabolizers may not receive the full benefit of the drug. The ABCB1 3435 TT genotype has also been linked with increased adverse cardiovascular events in individuals treated with clopidogrel following PCI for an acute coronary syndrome. In contrast, the CYP2C19*17 gain-of-function allele appears to enhance the activity of clopidogrel and has been associated with reduced ischemic events but increased bleeding.

As a result of these findings, experts have begun to advocate for routine genotyping in the context of PCI. A personalized approach to dual anti-platelet therapy following PCI is feasible given the presence of treatment alternatives such as prasugrel that are capable of overcoming clopidogrel resistance. Selective administration of prasugrel to patients at increased risk of clopidogrel resistance has the potential to successfully minimize adverse ischemic events, while simultaneously minimizing associated bleeding events and health care costs. A prospective pharmacogenomic approach to anti-platelet therapy has been previously hampered by limited access and the time-delay associated with genetic testing. The development of point-of-care genetic testing for the CYP2C19*2, *17, and ABCB1 3435 C>T alleles that requires minimal training to perform carries the potential to overcome these obstacles and may facilitate the incorporation of pharmacogenetic strategies into routine clinical practice.

Patients receiving PCI in the context of STEMI will undergo point-of-care genetic testing for the CYP2C19*2, *17, and ABCB1 3435 C>T alleles. CYP2C19*2 carriers and individuals homozygous for the ABCB1 3435 T allele will subsequently be randomized to prasugrel 10mg daily for 1 month or clopidogrel 150mg daily for 1 week followed by 75mg daily. The remaining individuals without an at-risk genotype will receive standard therapy with clopidogrel. At the end of the 1 month period, efficacy of the treatment strategies will be evaluated using VerifyNow platelet function testing. The effect of the CYP2C19*17 allele will be prospectively evaluated during the treatment period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Point-of-Care Genetic Testing and Prasugrel in people with STEMI, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation 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 4 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 25 Apr 2013. 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.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

The rates of high on-treatment platelet reactivity as measured by the VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA) in CYP2C19*2 and ABCB1 3435 TT carriers treated with prasugrel relative to clopidogrel. (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT01452139, which also lists 9 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 25 Apr 2013.
