About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients With CYP2C19 Polymorphism Who Undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

The investigators hypothesize that reduced loading dose of prasugrel followed by reduced maintenance dose of prasugrel in acute coronary syndrome patients with CYP2C19 polymorphism undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention might exhibit lower platelet reactivity 24 hours and 30 days later which is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events.

Read the detailed description

Antiplatelet treatment is recommended worldwide for the secondary prevention and clopidogrel is an essential drug. But clopidogrel has limited value because of its pharmacodynamic interpatient variability and delayed onset time.

It is well known that patients who carry a common reduced-function CYP2C19 allele have a lower level of active metabolite of clopidogrel, diminished platelet inhibition, and furthermore, higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events than noncarriers.

To achieve maximum plateau more rapidly and reduce the rate of high on-treatment platelet reactivity, higher loading dose of clopidogrel, up to 600 mg, is recommended. Although, however, the higher loading dose of clopidogrel, many patients still remain as non-responder.

Incidence of patients with clopidogrel resistance, especially CYP2C19*2 and *3, which encounter loss function, is higher in Eastern Asian peoples than Western peoples. Some studies report incidence rate of clopidogrel resistance in Eastern Asian peoples up to 99%.

However, the metabolism is not influenced by the presence of CYP2C19 genetic variation and prasugrel shows potent platelet inhibition. Although prasugrel exhibit potent platelet inhibition, recent reports describe the possible over inhibition of platelet especially in the East Asian people.

The investigators are going to compare the efficacy and safety of loading dose of prasugrel 30 mg which is lower than conventional loading dose followed by 5 mg/day which is also lower than conventional maintenance dose for 30 days and loading dose of clopidogrel 600 mg followed by 75 mg/day for 30 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in people with Acute Coronary Syndromes, run by Dong-A University at 1 site 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 11 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 11 Feb 2019. 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 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 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?

HPR 1 day (time frame: 24 hours after PCI). 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 11 Feb 2019.
