About this study

Official title: Study of Clopidogrel and Ticagrelor Anti-Platelet Treatment Using an Individualized Strategy Based on Genotyping in Chinese ACS Patients

Clopidogrel, in addition to aspirin, is the cornerstone of therapy in patients suffering from Acute coronary syndrome. However, the platelet inhibitory response to clopidogrel varies substantially among individuals. Several loss-of-function polymorphisms have been identified that may influence clinical outcome in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who are treated with clopidogrel. However their contribution to high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) in clopidogrel treated Chinese patients is less known. As far as we know, ticagrelor is not dependent on gene-based metabolic activation and demonstrated greater clinical efficacy than clopidogrel in a recent secondary prevention trial. we will conduct an interventional study to compare the antiplatelet efficiency between clopidogrel and ticagrelor by the guidance of CYP450 2C19*2 (CYP2C19*2) , using Taqman genotyping method.

Read the detailed description

Clopidogrel, in addition to aspirin, is the cornerstone of therapy in patients suffering from Acute coronary syndrome. However, the platelet inhibitory response to clopidogrel varies substantially among individuals. Several loss-of-function polymorphisms have been identified that may influence clinical outcome in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) who are treated with clopidogrel.

Mounting evidence suggests a crucial role for the loss-of-function CYP2C19*2 genetic variant. Carriers of CYP2C19*2 allele were at 30% higher risk for major adverse clinical events compared to non-carriers. CYP2C19*2 alone was also associated with increased mortality and stent thrombosis. These findings led the American Food and Drug Administration to issue a boxed warning for clopidogrel stating that poor metabolizers may not receive the full benefit of the drug. Thus, routine genotyping in the context of dual anti-platelet therapy is necessary.

Individual dual anti-platelet treatment is feasible to give the presence of treatment alternatives such as ticagrelor that is not dependent on gene-based metabolic activation and demonstrated greater clinical efficacy than clopidogrel. Individualized administration of ticagrelor may have the potential to successfully minimize adverse ischemic events.

200 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for treatment of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome or stable coronary artery disease will be eligible for enrollment. Patients will be randomly assigned to a strategy of genotyping(using Taqman genotyping method) or standard treatment . CYP2C19*2 carriers will be given 90 mg ticagrelor twice daily, and non-carriers and patients in the standard treatment group will be given 75 mg clopidogrel daily. At the end of the 5 day antiplatelet treatment, efficacy of the treatment strategies will be evaluated using light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) method.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clopidogrel response status as measured by the LTA assay in CYP2C19*2 carriers.

    The primary endpoint is the proportion of CYP2C19*2 carriers with a platelet aggregation more than 59% after 5 days of antiplatelet therapy.The definition of high on-treatment platelet reactivity is derived from previous studies that had identified platelet aggregation more than 59% as optimum cutoff values for prediction of increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in Chinese patients.

    Measured: Day 5 of enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing genotyping guided therapy Ticagrelor, Clopidogrel and standard therapy clopidogrel in people with CLOPIDOGREL, POOR METABOLISM of (Disorder), run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Apr 2014. 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 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 combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tong Yin, MD, PhD (+86-13693693085, yintong2000@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clopidogrel response status as measured by the LTA assay in CYP2C19*2 carriers. (time frame: Day 5 of enrollment). 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 Apr 2014.
