Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether administration of 150 mg clopidogrel is effective in reducing the one-year incidence of thromboischemic events in patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity compared to 75 mg clopidogrel in the patient population overweight or obese with a body mass index… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation the Effect of the Double Maintenance Dose of Clopidogrel Versus Single Dose in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease With a BMI ≥ 27 kg.m-2

The purpose of the study is to determine whether administration of 150 mg clopidogrel is effective in reducing the one-year incidence of thromboischemic events in patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity compared to 75 mg clopidogrel in the patient population overweight or obese with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 kg.m-2.

Read the detailed description

The goal is to evaluate the effect of the double maintenance dose of clopidogrel versus single dose in patients with proven coronary and with BMI ≥ 27 kg.m-2 1 - Biologically: study and compare the respective effects of the double dose and single dose of clopidogrel on platelet aggregation.

2 - Clinically: to study and compare the cardiovascular events and adverse effects depending on the dose of clopidogrel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing clopidogrel in people with Cardiovascular Disease and Overweight, run by Les Laboratoires des Médicaments Stériles at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 5 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 7 May 2015. 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 Tunisia. 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?

Cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularisation (time frame: 6 months). 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 7 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
