About this study

TWILIGHT study is a multicenter RCT comparing treatment with ticagrelor alone versus ticagrelor plus aspirin in high-risk patients after PCI. All patients will receive DAPT (ticagrelor plus aspirin) for the initial 3 months post-PCI and then be randomized to either Ticagrelor alone OR Ticagrelor plus Aspirin DAPT.

To investigate the pharmacodynamic effects of the two treatments in this trial, a 'Platelet Sub-study' will be conducted only at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. The sub-study will recruit randomized patients from the TWILIGHT Trial at Mount Sinai and conduct specialized blood tests at randomization and one month thereafter. The aim of the Platelet Sub-study is to compare the antithrombotic effects of Ticagrelor alone versus Ticagrelor plus Aspirin using an ex vivo model of thrombosis (Badimon Chamber).

Read the detailed description

The present study will enroll a cohort of randomized patients from the TWILIGHT trial at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. These subjects will undergo blood sampling and measurement of thrombotic indices at the time of randomization and 1-6 months thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Infarction, run by Juan Badimon at 1 site in United States.

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 15 inclusion and 19 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 26 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 United States. 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.

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?

Thrombus size (Badimon Chamber) (time frame: 1-6 months 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 NCT04001374, 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 26 Feb 2020.
