VERifynow in DIabetes Non-responsiveness: a Study on Switching From Clopidogrel to Prasugrel (VERDI)

September 19, 2014 updated by: Fundación Pública Andaluza para la gestión de la Investigación en Sevilla

A Randomized Study With Loading Dose of Prasugrel Opposed to the Standard Dose of Clopidogrel in Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Acute Coronary Syndrome, Revascularized Through Drug-eluting Stent.

The purpose of this study is to determine if, in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing treatment with PCI and a stent, who fail to respond to normal doses of clopidogrel, a loading dose of 60 mg of prasugrel followed by 10 mg once daily is superior to the standard dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel in achieving greater than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation at 24-36 hours of treatment.

Detailed Description

The VERDI study consists on a randomized, mono-center study comparing the treatment plan of a loading dose of prasugrel as opposed to the standard dose in type 2 diabetic patients, who suffer acute coronary syndrome, revascularized through an invasive percutaneous strategy with a stent. The aim of this study is to determine if, in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing treatment with PCI and a stent, who fail to respond to normal doses of clopidogrel, a loading dose of 60 mg of prasugrel followed by 10 mg once daily is superior to the standard dose of 75 mg of clopidogrel in achieving greater than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation at 24-36 hours of treatment.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 76 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  1. Type 2 diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome with non-ST segment elevation who are undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a coronary stent.
  2. Patients who are non-responsive on the platelet anti-aggregation test with standard doses of clopidogrel will be randomized.
  3. Participants must sign an informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

  5. Antithrombotic treatment with GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors.

  6. Contraindication for the use of prasugrel and/or clopidogrel and/or aspirin:

    • Antecedents of pharmacologic allergy to thienopyridine derivatives or aspirin.
    • Antecedents of clinically significant or persistent thrombocytopenia or neutropenia.
  7. Active bleeding or significant increase of risk of hemorrhage such as severe hepatic insufficiency, peptic ulcer present, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, antecedents of severe systemic bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, macrohematuria, intraocular hemorrhage, hemorrhagic stroke, or intracranial bleeding), or other antecedents of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.
  8. Patients with previous TIA or CVA.

  13. Previous inclusion of the patient in another study.
  14. Treatment in research (medication or device) in the last 30 days prior.
  15. Medical, geographical, or social factors that would make participation in the study impractical, such as the incapacity to provide written informed consent and to understand the complete meaning of informed consent, or the refusal of the patient to participate in the study.

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
Number of patients who achieve inhibition of platelet aggregation greater that 50%
Time Frame: 24 to 36 hours post-PCI
The principal objective is to determine whether in type 2 diabetic patients who are non-responsive to clopidogrel at habitual doses and who receive treatment through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a stent, a treatment plan with a loading dose of prasugrel (60 mg) followed by 1 cp (10 mg) once a day, is superior to a standard dose of 75 mg clopidogrel in achieving greater than 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation at 24-36 hours of treatment.
24 to 36 hours post-PCI

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability
Time Frame: 30 days
To evaluate the safety of treatment with prasugrel in comparison with the standard treatment with clopidogrel in terms of the appearance of secondary effects (severe bleeding, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, gastrointestinal changes, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura).
30 days
Number of patients who die or present the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI or recurrent ischemia as a measure of efficacy.
Time Frame: 30 days.
To assess the results in different sub-groups and analyze the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, MI or recurrent ischemia at 30 days.
30 days.
Number of participants who are non-responsiveness to antiaggregation therapy as a measure of efficacy
Time Frame: 30 days.
To analyze the characteristics of patients who are non-responsive to anti-aggregation therapy.
