Trial summary

Fast and accurate platelet inhibition is an important therapeutic goal in the acute treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Platelet inhibitory effects induced by normal oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists, for example ticagrelor, are delayed in STEMI patients undergoing primary… Read more about this study

About this study

Fast and accurate platelet inhibition is an important therapeutic goal in the acute treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Platelet inhibitory effects induced by normal oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists, for example ticagrelor, are delayed in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary PCI), which may be attributed to impaired absorption affecting drug pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Another therapeutic goal in the acute treatment of STEMI is reduction of sympathetic stress and catecholamine release, thereby improving the balance between the demand for and supply of oxygen, by analgesia like fentanyl of morphine. To date, there are no studies that have specifically assessed the pharmacodynamics influences of fentanyl on platelet inhibition in STEMI patients who are pre-treated with crushed ticagrelor tablets. Therefore, In the ON-TIME-3 study, the investigators seek to show the influence of fentanyl on platelet inhibition in STEMI patients who are pre-treated with crushed ticagrelor in the ambulance.

    Patients are randomized to paracetamol 1000 mg iv or fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg with a maximum of 4 mcg/kg iv.

  • FentanylDrug

    Patients are randomized to paracetamol 1000 mg iv or fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg with a maximum of 4 mcg/kg iv.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Paracetamol and Fentanyl in people with STEMI and STEMI - ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, run by A.H. Tavenier at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 20 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 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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?

platelet reactivity (time frame: directly post-PCI or 1 hour post-angiography). 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 12 Feb 2020.
