About this study

Official title: DEVELOPMENT OF PROGNOSTIC PLATELET RNA BIOMARKERS TO TAILOR ANTIPLATELET THERAPY

This study will involve healthy volunteers and patients with Type 2 diabetes. Eligible healthy volunteers will be invited to enroll into one of two protocols (A or B) and eligible patients with diabetes will be enrolled into protocol A.

Read the detailed description

Protocol A This will be a randomized, cross-over design comparing low- and high-dose aspirin as well as a non-aspirin platelet inhibitor ticagrelor. This antiplatelet exposure study will be conducted at the DCRU using two separate cohorts: 1) healthy adult volunteers 2) patients with Type 2 diabetes. Subjects within each cohort will but in general will have platelet function testing and biospecimen collection before, four weeks, and eight weeks after low- or high-dose aspirin exposure. Subsequently there will be a period of aspirin washout and a four-week exposure to ticagrelor, a non-aspirin platelet inhibitor. In all subjects and at various time points peripheral blood RNA, purified platelets, DNA, serum, fecal samples and/or plasma will be collected.

Protocol B This will be a single arm study of the platelet inhibitor ticagrelor that is essentially the last two visits of Protocol A. This study will be conducted at the DCRU and will only be open to healthy adult volunteers and patients with Type 2 diabetes. Subjects who elect to participate in this protocol will follow the protocol outlined in Figure 2 and in general will have platelet function testing and biospecimen collection before and four weeks after exposure to ticagrelor, a non-aspirin platelet inhibitor. In all subjects and at various time points (see Figure 2 and Table 2) peripheral blood RNA, purified platelets, DNA, serum, and/ plasma will be collected. In order to align the visits with that of Protocol A, the two visits under this protocol will be labelled V4 and V5.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in expression levels of platelet messenger RNA

    Measured: Baseline, after every 4 week exposure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in platelet function score

    Measured: Baseline, 3 hours, after every 4 week exposure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Aspirin and Ticagrelor in people with Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors and Aspirin, run by Duke University 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 14 Mar 2022. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Change in expression levels of platelet messenger RNA (time frame: Baseline, after every 4 week exposure). 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 14 Mar 2022.
