Trial summary

Uncertainty remains regarding the impact of enteric-coated (EC) aspirin as it relates to the reduction of CV risk. We hypothesize that EC formulation based on the previous report may blunt aspirin response as evidenced by reduced Thromboxane A2 (TXA 2) levels in diabetic patients. Read more about this study

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Enteric Coated Aspirin TabletDrug

    Study participants will be assigned to receive either EC Aspirin and will be required to continue taking them throughout the study (three days).

  • Plain AspirinDrug

    Study participants will be assigned to receive either Plain Aspirin and will be required to continue taking them throughout the study (three days).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Aspirin non-responders.

    Aspirin nonresponsiveness is defined as a level of residual serum TXB2 associated with elevated thrombotic risk (<99.0% inhibition or TXB2 >3.1 ng/ml) after 3 daily aspirin doses

    Measured: At "Day 3"

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Gastrointestinal bleeding consequent upon aspirin therapy.

    Major and minor GIT bleeding

    Measured: After three daily aspirin doses ( at "Day 3")

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Enteric Coated Aspirin Tablet and Plain Aspirin in people with Stroke, Ischemic, run by Hamad Medical Corporation at 1 site in Qatar.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 2 Apr 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 Qatar. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incidence of Aspirin non-responders. (time frame: At "Day 3"). 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 NCT04330872, 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 2 Apr 2020.
