About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Single Arm, Open Label, Phase IV Study to Evaluate Safety and to Describe the Cumulative Incidence of Major Cardiovascular Events of Ticagrelor in Taiwanese Patients With Non ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

A multicenter, single arm, open label, Phase IV study to evaluate safety and to describe the cumulative incidence of major cardiovascular events of Ticagrelor in Taiwanese patients with non ST-segment (a segment in the eletrocardiogram which presents the period when ventricles are depolarized) elevation myocardial infarction

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted in approximately 8 investigational centres in Taiwan. It is expected that approximately 100 patients will be enrolled into study treatment. This study is to describe the safety and tolerability of ticagrelor, by assessment of the bleeding events and other serious adverse events (SAEs) during 1year follow up in Taiwanese non ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients.

Being tested
Ticagrelor 180mg loading dose taken orally, followed by 90mg twice daily (bd)
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Fatal/Life-threatening Bleedings

    Evaluation of PLATO (PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes)-defined fatal/life-threatening bleedings

    Measured: during 1year follow up with ticagrelor treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Bleeding Events (Major Bleedings)

    Evaluation of PLATO (PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes)-defined major bleedings

    Measured: during 1year follow up with ticagrelor treatment

  3. Number of Participants With Bleeding Events (Major and Minor Bleedings)

    Evaluation of PLATO (PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes)-defined major + minor bleedings

    Measured: during 1year follow up with ticagrelor treatment

  4. Number of Participants With Other Serious Adverse Event (SAEs)

    Evaluation of serious adverse events other than bleedings

    Measured: during 1year follow up with ticagrelor treatment

  5. Number of Participants With Major Cardiovascular Events

    Evaluation of major cardiovascular events including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke

    Measured: during 1year follow up with ticagrelor treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ticagrelor 180mg loading dose taken orally, followed by 90mg twice daily (bd) in people with Non ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by AstraZeneca at 13 sites in Taiwan.

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 5 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 15 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Taiwan. 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 15 Oct 2018). 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?

Number of Participants With Fatal/Life-threatening Bleedings (time frame: during 1year follow up with ticagrelor treatment). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Oct 2018.
