About this study

Official title: Is There A LIfe for DES After Discontinuation of Clopidogrel:The ITALIC PLUS Trial

The ITALIC PLUS Trial was designed with the objective of extending to other countries the enrollment of patients into the ITALIC trial initially conducted in France, in order to achieve statistical significance by pooling the data of both trials.

Read the detailed description

The use of drug-eluting stents has resulted in a significant reduction in the restenosis rate and in the need for repeat angioplasty of the stented lesion. However, the occurrence of late stent thrombosis has resulted in an increase in the duration of dual antiplatelet treatment.

According to the guidelines of the ESC, the current recommended duration of dual antiplatelet treatment is 12 months.

A relationship has been demonstrated between the occurrence of late stent thrombosis and aspirin resistance.

Furthermore, dual anti-platelet treatment is associated with an increase in bleeding, the severity of which has been well documented. In addition, the patients involved, and especially those over 70, have significant co-morbidities often requiring extra-cardiac surgery which cannot easily be carried out in patients on dual antiplatelet treatment or clopidogrel.

The objective of this study is to determine whether, after a period of 6 months following Drug eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients regarded as sensitive to aspirin, dual antiplatelet therapy may be replaced by aspirin alone.

The original Italic Trial is a multicenter, randomized study evaluating the non-inferiority of aspirin as a single treatment versus dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin 6 months after drug-eluting stent implantation, including a 12-, 24- and 36-month follow-up analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Restenosis, run by Gilard, Martine at 1 site 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2011. 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Martine Gilard, MD, PhD (+33 (0)2 98 34 75 05, martine.gilard@chu-brest.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

composite endpoint:death, myocardial infarction, repeat angioplasty due to the occurrence of restenosis, occurrence of stroke and major bleeding (time frame: one year). 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 NCT01476020, 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 22 Nov 2011.
