A Study of the Antiplatelet Effects Comparing Ticagrelor (Ticag. - AZD6140) With Clopidogrel (Clop.) Responder and Non-responders (RESPOND)

August 30, 2011 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Randomised, Double-Blind, Outpatient, Crossover Study of the Anti-platelet Effects of Ticagrelor Compared With Clopidogrel in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease Previously Identified as Clopidogrel Non-responders or Responders [RESPOND]

The purpose of this study is to see how Ticagrelor, a new oral reversible anti-platelet medication, affects platelets. Anti-platelet agents are medications that block the formation of blood clots by preventing the clumping of platelets. Blood clots prevent us from bleeding, but when they form inside the arteries their formation is linked to a risk of medical problems such as heart attack and stroke. This study investigated the effect of Ticagrelor on inhibition of platelet aggregation compared with clopidogrel in patients previously identified as non-responsive to clopidogrel.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of Clopidogrel Non-responders Who Responded to Clopidogrel or Ticagrelor. - Comparing Ticag. (Day 28 of Clop. to Ticag., and Day 14 of Ticag. to Clop.) Versus Clop. (Day 14 of Clop. to Ticag., and Day 28 of Ticag. to Clop.)
Time Frame: Day 14 and Day 28, 4 Hrs Post Dose.
The primary definition of response to treatment is IPA >10% post treatment. The response is reported as percentage of participants of each treatment. Please refer to the protocol section for details about the interventions administered. IPA(%)=(PAb-PAt)/PAb*100. PA (platelet aggregation) is measured by LTA (Light Transmittance Aggregometry). PAb is the response at baseline (last measurement before study drug) and PAt is a response at post-treatment. IPA=0% means no PA inhibition and 100% means 100% PA inhibition.
Day 14 and Day 28, 4 Hrs Post Dose.
Proportion of Clopidogrel Non-responders Who Responded to Clopidogrel or Ticagrelor. - Comparing Ticag. (Day 28 of Clop. to Ticag., and Day 14 of Ticag. to Clop.) Versus Clop. (Day 14 of Clop. to Ticag., and Day 28 of Ticag. to Clop.
Time Frame: Day 14, and day 28, 4 hours post dose
The secondary definition of response to treatment is IPA >50% post treatment. The response is reported as percentage of participants of each treatment. Please refer to the protocol section for details about the interventions administered. IPA(%)=(PAb-PAt)/PAb*100. PA (platelet aggregation) is measured by LTA (Light Transmittance Aggregometry). PAb is the response at baseline (last measurement before study drug) and PAt is a response at post-treatment. IPA=0% means no PA inhibition and 100% means 100% PA inhibition.
Day 14, and day 28, 4 hours post dose
