Long Term Safety of Clopidogrel in Neonates/Infants With Systemic to Pulmonary Artery Shunt Palliation (CLARINET LT)

August 18, 2011 updated by: Sanofi

Long Term Safety Study in Patients Included in the CLARINET Study With Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease Palliated With a Systemic-to-pulmonary Artery Shunt and for Whom the Shunt is Still in Place at One Year of Age

This study is the extension of the CLARINET study [NCT00396877 -EFC5314] in neonates or infants with cyanotic congenital heart disease palliated with a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt.

The primary objective was to assess the safety up to 18 months of age of the extended use of Clopidogrel 0.2 mg/kg/day in patients for whom the shunt was still in place at one year of age.

The secondary objective was to assess the efficacy on the occurrence of shunt thrombosis requiring intervention or any death.

Detailed Description

Patients remained in the treatment group to which they were originally allocated for the CLARINET study and continued blindly their treatment (0.2 mg/kg/day of clopidogrel or placebo) up to the occurrence of shunt thrombosis, next surgical procedure for correction of the congenital heart disease, death, or 18 months of age, whichever came first. The maximum treatment duration were 6 months.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Bleeding Events
Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 6 months

All bleeding events experienced during the study period were collected as for any Adverse Event.

The 'on-treatment' period was defined as the period from inclusion in the extension study up to 28 days after treatment discontinuation, and participants who experienced bleeding events during that period were counted.

Up to a maximum of 6 months
Number of Participants According to Bleeding Type/Etiology
Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 6 months
For all reported bleeding events, the type and the etiology of the bleeding event were collected. Participants who experienced bleeding events during the 'on-treatment period' were counted by bleeding type and etiology.
Up to a maximum of 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Shunt Thrombosis Requiring Intervention or Deaths
Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 6 months

Outcome events, shunt thrombosis requiring intervention or death, experienced during the study period were recorded.

Participants were counted excluding the events that occured after the participant's protocol study end (occurrence of shunt thrombosis, next surgical procedure for correction of the congenital heart disease, death, or 18 months of age, whichever came first).

Up to a maximum of 6 months
