    Also called Effient, Efient, LY640315, CS-747

    Administered orally

Study groups in NCT01476696
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part A: Prasugrel Single DoseExperimentalPrasugrel 0.03 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) to 0.60 mg/kg dosage to be titrated up or down based on desired platelet inhibition, administered orally [oral-disintegrating tablet (ODT)], single dose given up to 3 occasions, at different strengths, with up to 18 days between doses.
Receives: Drug: Prasugrel
Part B: Prasugrel Once-Daily DoseExperimentalDaily prasugrel dose (mg/kg) that is expected to achieve mean platelet activation inhibition of 30% administered orally, once daily for 10-18 days and then followed by prasugrel dose (mg/kg) that is expected to achieve mean platelet activation inhibition of 50% administered orally, once daily for 10-18 days, for a total of 20-36 days.
Receives: Drug: Prasugrel

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Prasugrel Active Metabolite (Pras-AM)

    AUC of Pras-AM from time 0 up to the last sampling time of 4 hours postdose [AUC(0-tlast)] is reported by dose administered [0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, 0.11, 0.13, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, and 0.6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg)] during Part A (single-dose range finding phase) and is reported for doses administered on site (0.06, 0.08, and 0.12 mg/kg) during Part B (once-daily repeated dosing phase) of the study. Four participants received the same dose at multiple visits where pharmacokinetic samples were collected.

    Measured: Parts A and B: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 hours postdose

  2. Percentage of Platelet Inhibition as Measured by VerifyNow™P2Y12 (VN)

    Accumetrics VN assay: A point-of-care device that measures platelet aggregation. Percentage of platelet inhibition is reported by dose administered [0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.09, 0.11, 0.13, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, and 0.6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg)] during Part A (single-dose range finding phase) and also during the once-daily repeated dosing phase in Part B, at steady state, 14 ± 4 days after each new dose (0.06, 0.08, and 0.12 mg/kg) is administered. One participant received the same dose at multiple visits (Part A) and one participant received the same daily dose during both dosing periods in Part B.

    Measured: Part A: 4 hours postdose and Part B: at steady state (14 ± 4 days after the start of each new dosage)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Prasugrel Inactive Metabolite

    AUC of prasugrel inactive metabolite(s) from time 0 up to the last sampling time of 4 hours postdose [AUC(0-tlast)]. Improvements in bioanalytical methodology enabled direct measurement of Pras-AM from plasma, obviating the need to estimate its concentration from inactive downstream metabolite(s). Thus, the AUC of prasugrel inactive metabolite(s) was not analyzed.

    Measured: Part A: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 hours postdose

  2. Number of Participants With Pain

    The number of participants who answered "yes" to the first question in the Sickle Cell Disease Pain (SCD) Questionnaire is reported. Question 1: In the past 2 weeks, did you experience any sickle cell pain?

    Measured: Part B: Baseline and Day14 ± 4 days postdose in each dosing period

  3. Number of Participants With Hemorrhagic Events Requiring Medical Intervention

    Hemorrhagic events were determined by the study investigator. Medical intervention was defined as any medical attention resulting in therapy or further investigation, as determined by a trained medical professional.

    Measured: Part B: Baseline up to Day 36

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Prasugrel in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 9 sites in United States.

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 24 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 13 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Pharmacokinetics: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Prasugrel Active Metabolite (Pras-AM) (time frame: Parts A and B: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 hours postdose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Feb 2014.
