Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Platelet Study

December 8, 2022 updated by: University of Arkansas

A Mechanistic Study in Patients With Non-Dialysis Chronic Kidney Disease to Investigate Altered Platelet Response to Antiplatelet Therapy (CKD-Platelet Study)

This study evaluates how aspirin, clopidogrel and ticagrelor work in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared to people with normal kidneys. In the first part of the study, half of CKD participants will be randomly assigned to ticagrelor and aspirin, while the other half will be assigned to clopidogrel and aspirin in a blinded fashion. The treatment duration will be two weeks. After recruiting CKD participants the investigator will recruit controls with normal kidney function that will receive only ticagrelor and aspirin for two weeks.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
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

It is known that people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at higher risk to have heart and blood vessel problems like heart attack and stroke compared to people that do not have kidney problems. Aspirin, clopidogrel and ticagrelor prevent blood clots building up in the vessels. If a blood clot is present in one vessel, it could stop oxygen carrying blood to get to a specific organ, and that could cause problems like heart attack or stroke. There is very little knowledge about the way this group of medicines works in people with chronic kidney disease as well as it works in individuals with normal kidney function.

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 to 91 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  4. Controls with normal kidney function: participants with an estimated GFR >90 mL/min/1.73 m2 as determined by the CKD-EPI creatinine-based formula and a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio <30 mg/g as defined by the National Kidney Foundation

  • Any active malignancy or liver disease.
  • Pregnancy

  • Positive urine pregnancy test in a woman of childbearing potential prior to study entry. A female of childbearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:

    • Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
    • Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
  • Patients must not be nursing due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants.

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
ADP Induced Platelet Aggregation
Time Frame: 2 weeks
We will use summary statistics to describe the distribution of the data. Post-treatment ADP-induced WBPA value in ohms (Ω) will be the primary outcome variable. We will use an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model to compare the treatment effects of ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel in CKD patients because this approach has higher statistical power than other methods to analyze drug effects. T
2 weeks

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
Platelet Surface P-selectin Expression
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Platelet surface P-selectin expression was measured using flow cytometry before and after treatment.
