May 6, 2021 updated by: Maasstad Hospital

COMPARison of Pre-hospital CRUSHed vs. Uncrushed Prasugrel Tablets in Patients With STEMI Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

The studys evaluates the effect of prehospital administration of crushed tablets of Prasugrel loading dose (in addition to ASA and standard care) versus uncrushed tablets of Prasugrel loading dose on efficacy and safety as well as pharmacodynamics as measured by platelet reactivity using VerifyNow.

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

The study is a two-centre, randomized, 1:1 trial comparing prehospital prasugrel initiation therapy between crushed vs. uncrushed prasugrel tablets on efficacy and safety as well as pharmacodynamics in STEMI patients.

Patients with STEMI planned for primary PCI will be screened and, if inclusion criteria are met, included at first medical contact (paramedics). After enrolment, patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 60mg prasugrel loading dose by ingesting integral or crushed tablets.

The follow-up duration is 12 months, i.e. clinical outcomes will be analysed in-hospital, at 30 days, and 12 months

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

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)

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

Co-primary endpoint is the percentage of patients reaching TIMI flow grade 3 of MI culprit vessel at initial angiography or a ≥70% ST-segment resolution directly post-PCI
Time Frame: directly post PCI
To assess the efficacy of crushed vs. integral tablets of prasugrel loading dose treatment by comparing the percentage of patients reaching the co-primary endpoint of TIMI flow grade 3 of MI culprit vessel at initial angiography or a ≥70% ST-segment elevation resolution directly post-PCI.
