Platelet Sub-study of the TWILIGHT Trial

February 24, 2020 updated by: Juan Badimon

TWILIGHT study is a multicenter RCT comparing treatment with ticagrelor alone versus ticagrelor plus aspirin in high-risk patients after PCI. All patients will receive DAPT (ticagrelor plus aspirin) for the initial 3 months post-PCI and then be randomized to either Ticagrelor alone OR Ticagrelor plus Aspirin DAPT.

To investigate the pharmacodynamic effects of the two treatments in this trial, a 'Platelet Sub-study' will be conducted only at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. The sub-study will recruit randomized patients from the TWILIGHT Trial at Mount Sinai and conduct specialized blood tests at randomization and one month thereafter. The aim of the Platelet Sub-study is to compare the antithrombotic effects of Ticagrelor alone versus Ticagrelor plus Aspirin using an ex vivo model of thrombosis (Badimon Chamber).

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

The present study will enroll a cohort of randomized patients from the TWILIGHT trial at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. These subjects will undergo blood sampling and measurement of thrombotic indices at the time of randomization and 1-6 months thereafter.

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)

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
Thrombus size (Badimon Chamber)
Time Frame: 1-6 months after randomization
Thrombus area measured 1-6 months after randomization
1-6 months 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
Platelet aggregation
