Completed

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

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Study objectives:

  1. Compare the efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in acute myocardial infarction treated with emergent PCI.
  2. Assess the safety of switching to clopidogrel after remission of the acute phase of MI in patients for whom economic barriers do not allow to continue treatment with prasugrel or ticagrelor. All randomized patients with acute myocardial infarction have been treated with standard therapeutic procedures in accordance with the guidelines of European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Participation of patients in the study is not connected to any deviations from the ESC guidelines recommendations.

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.

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.

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
Composite primary outcome measure consisting of Death / Re-infarction / Stroke / Serious bleeding requiring transfusion or prolonged hospitalization / Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization.
Time Frame: Within 7 days after Randomization.

Definitions:

Death defined as summary of death from any cause. Re-infarcion defined according to the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.

Stroke defined as the rapid onset of new neurological deficit caused by an ischemic or hemorrhagic central nervous system event with symptoms that lasted at least 24 hours after onset or leading to death.

Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization defined as a new emergent/urgent revascularization of the vessel dilated at the initial procedure driven by recurrent signs of ischemia occurring after completion of initial PCI.

Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing Death / Re-infarction / Stroke / Serious bleeding requiring transfusion or prolonged hospitalization / Urgent Target Vessel Revascularization divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.

Primary endpoint is adjudicated by the Independent Control committee
Within 7 days after Randomization.

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
Composite secondary outcome measure consisting of Cadiovascular death / Non-fatal myocardial infarction / Stroke.
Time Frame: Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.

Definition:

Cardiovascular death defined as a death with a demonstrable cardiovascular cause, or any death that is not clearly attributable to a non-cardiovascular cause.

Non-fatal myocardial infarction must be distinct from the index event and is defined according to the Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.

Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing Cadiovascular death / Non-fatal myocardial infarction / Stroke divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.
Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.
Stent thrombosis.
Time Frame: Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.
Definition: Academic Research Consortium (ARC) criteria were used to define ST. Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing Stent thrombosis divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.
Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.
Occurence of bleeding according to the TIMI and BARC criteria.
Time Frame: Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.
TIMI criteria - Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction Criteria BARC criteria - Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria Units: The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients experiencing bleeding according to the TIMI and BARC criteria divided by number of randomized patients in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.
Within 30 days and one year after Randomization.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite outcome measure consisting of Cadiovascular death / Non-fatal myocardial infarction / Stroke in patients with Killip III/IV.
Time Frame: Within 7 days after Randomization.
The percentage of randomized patients is the total number of randomized patients with Killip class III or IV experiencing Cardiovascular death / Non-fatal myocardial infarction / Stroke divided by number of randomized patients with Killip class III or IV in the treatment arm multiplied by 100.
Within 7 days after Randomization.
