    Measured: 2 hours after clopidogrel loading

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PRU level by VerifyNow P2Y12 at 4 -, 8- and 24 hours after clopidogrel loading

    Measured: 4 -, 8- and 24 hours after clopidogrel loading

  2. ARU level by VerifyNow before and 2 hours after loading

    Measured: 2 hours after loading

  3. Composite of death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization

    Measured: at 30 days

  4. Stent thrombosis by Academic Research Consortium definition

    Measured: at 30 days

  5. Incidence of TIMI major bleedings

    Measured: at 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing generic clopidogrel (Plavitor® ) and original clopidogrel (Plavix® ) in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Ajou University School of Medicine 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 12 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 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 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?

PRU level at 2 hours after clopidogrel loading (time frame: 2 hours after clopidogrel loading). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02060786, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Feb 2014.
