Trial summary

In patients with coronary artery disease, dual antiplatelet therapy (acetylsalicylic acid and a P2Y12-receptor antagonist) is a commonly used method because of its excellent antithrombotic effect. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Related Bleeding Complications in Patients Treated With Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel

In patients with coronary artery disease, dual antiplatelet therapy (acetylsalicylic acid and a P2Y12-receptor antagonist) is a commonly used method because of its excellent antithrombotic effect. In particular, in patients with acute myocardial infarction, who receive coronary angiography as an emergency, the dual antiplatelet is used immediately before the test to prevent and test further clot formation, regardless of whether or not the patient had previously taken dual antiplatelet.

Ticagrelor, a direct-acting and reversible ADP receptor antagonist, was introduced in Denmark in 2013 and is now the most commonly used ADP receptor antagonist in the treatment of ACS. Compared to its predecessor clopidogrel, the pharmacokinetic profil of ticagrelor is more predictable, demonstrating a faster onset of action and a more consistent platelet inhibition. However, because of the excellent antithrombotic effect and increased bleeding potential, it is recommended that major bleeding, such as OPCAB or CABG surgery, be expected with a high probability, and in case of fatal surgery, the drug should be discontinued for 5 days.

Most patients who receive emergency coronary heart surgery after undergoing coronary angiography as an emergency due to an acute myocardial infarction, it take approximately 24-48 hours to undergo surgery after examination. In fact, there have been reports of large-scale cross-country studies that do not increase bleeding risk compared to 5 days until 3 days after ticagrelor is stopped. Therefore, this study aimed to retrospectively analyze the bleeding tendency by analyzing the records of patients using clopidogrel or ticagrelor in preoperative coronary angiography for patients undergoing emergency CABG surgery from 2016 to September 2019.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Loss, Surgical and Ticagrelor, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 16 Jun 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 South Korea. 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?

Major bleeding event (time frame: within 48hours after operation). 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 16 Jun 2020.
