About this study

This study evaluates the efficacy of Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

Read the detailed description

Study objectives:

  1. Compare the efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in acute myocardial infarction treated with emergent PCI.
  2. Assess the safety of switching to clopidogrel after remission of the acute phase of MI in patients for whom economic barriers do not allow to continue treatment with prasugrel or ticagrelor. All randomized patients with acute myocardial infarction have been treated with standard therapeutic procedures in accordance with the guidelines of European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Participation of patients in the study is not connected to any deviations from the ESC guidelines recommendations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite primary outcome measure consisting of Death / Re-infarction / Stroke / Serious bleeding requiring transfusion or prolonged hospitalization / Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization.

    Definitions:

    Death defined as summary of death from any cause. Re-infarcion defined according to the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.

    Stroke defined as the rapid onset of new neurological deficit caused by an ischemic or hemorrhagic central nervous system event with symptoms that lasted at least 24 hours after onset or leading to death.

    Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization defined as a new emergent/urgent revascularization of the vessel dilated at the initial procedure driven by recurrent signs of ischemia occurring after completion of initial PCI.

    Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing Death / Re-infarction / Stroke / Serious bleeding requiring transfusion or prolonged hospitalization / Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.

    Primary endpoint is adjudicated by the Independent Control committee

    Measured: Within 7 days after Randomization.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Composite secondary outcome measure consisting of Cadiovascular death / Non-fatal myocardial infarction / Stroke.

    Definition:

    Cardiovascular death defined as a death with a demonstrable cardiovascular cause, or any death that is not clearly attributable to a non-cardiovascular cause.

    Non-fatal myocardial infarction must be distinct from the index event and is defined according to the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.

    Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing Cadiovascular death / Non-fatal myocardial infarction / Stroke divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.

  2. Stent thrombosis.

    Definition: Academic Research Consortium (ARC) criteria were used to define ST. Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing Stent thrombosis divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.

  3. Occurence of bleeding according to the TIMI and BARC criteria.

    TIMI criteria - Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Criteria BARC criteria - Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing bleeding according to the TIMI and BARC criteria divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in people with Myocardial Infarction and Angioplasty, Balloon, Coronary, run by Faculty Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady at 1 site in Czechia.

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 2 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 11 Aug 2017. 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 Czechia. 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?

Composite primary outcome measure consisting of Death / Re-infarction / Stroke / Serious bleeding requiring transfusion or prolonged hospitalization / Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization. (time frame: Within 7 days after Randomization.). 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 NCT02808767, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Aug 2017.
