Ticagrelor for PCI Post Thrombolysis (SETFAST)

November 21, 2016 updated by: Unity Health Toronto

The Safety and Efficacy of Ticagrelor for Coronary Stenting Post Thrombolysis (SETFAST) Trial.

Ticagrelor is a first line therapy along with aspirin for patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI. However, many patients are still treated with fibrinolytic therapy and the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor has not been investigated in this patients population. The present study is proposed to study the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor in patients undergoing PCI post fibrinolytic therapy for STEMI.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

The newer antiplatelet agents such as Ticagrelor have demonstrated superiority to Clopidogrel in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). At present Ticagrelor remains a first line therapy as an adjunct to aspirin for patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI for reducing major adverse events. However, the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor has not been investigated in patients with STEMI post fibrinolysis. Ticagrelor results in significantly higher platelet inhibition than aspirin or clopidogrel and may expose patients to an increased risk of bleeding if administered post thrombolysis. However, fibrinolytic therapy itself results in a prothrombotic milieu with greater activation of platelets, a condition that can be balanced with addition of stronger antiplatelet agents. Similar concerns were initially reflected for clopidogrel as an adjunct to fibrinolytic therapy but were later proven to be unsubstantiated. In fact, adjunct administration of clopidogrel to fibrinolytic therapy reduces major adverse events as shown by multiple studies and has become the standard of care recommended by guidelines. The present study is proposed to study the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor in patients undergoing PCI post fibrinolytic therapy for STEMI.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
