Trial summary

It is designed to test the hypothesis that high loading dose(360mg) ticagrelor versus conventional loading dose(180mg) will result in a higher inhibition of platelet aggregation(IPA) without increasing the bleeding events. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Different Loading Dose of Ticagrelor for Antiplatelet Effect in Patients With Non -ST-segment Elevation ACS Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

It is designed to test the hypothesis that high loading dose(360mg) ticagrelor versus conventional loading dose(180mg) will result in a higher inhibition of platelet aggregation(IPA) without increasing the bleeding events.

Read the detailed description

After providing written informed consent, all patients will be randomized to receive ticagrelor 360mg or 180mg loading dose(LD),then 90mg bid maintenance dose starting 12 hours after LD.PCI will performed in 2h-72h after they are given the loading dose.All patients should receive acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) 75 to 100 mg daily unless intolerant.IPA at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 8, 24h after the loading dose of ticagrelor will be measured. CK-MB, troponin I, myoglobin, CRP will be detected at 0h, before PCI, 8h after PCI, 24h after PCI. ECG will be conducted at 0h and within 24h after PCI. Patients returned 28 days for follow-up visits after the loading dose of ticagrelor, documented any adverse events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet Reactivity Index(PRI) Measured by VASP-P

    Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein(VASP) phosphorylation, a measure of P2Y12 receptor reactivity, was determined by flow cytometry with the use of the Platelet VASP-FCM Kit (Stago, France)and recorded as the platelet reactivity index (PRI).

    Measured: 2 hours after the loading dose of ticagrelor

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Platelet Reactivity Index (PRI) Measured by VASP-P

    Measured: 0.5hour,1hour,8hours,24hours after the loading dose of ticagrelor

  2. Bleeding Events

    Measured: follow-up for 28 days after the loading dose of ticagrelor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ticagrelor in people with Non ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by General Hospital of Chinese Armed Police Forces at 2 sites in China.

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 8 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 9 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Nov 2016). 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?

Platelet Reactivity Index(PRI) Measured by VASP-P (time frame: 2 hours after the loading dose of ticagrelor). 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 9 Nov 2016.
