Ticagrelor in Post-transplant Patients With Pediatric Hepatic Artery Thrombosis (HAT) (Tip-HAT)

June 23, 2021 updated by: RenJi Hospital

Determine the Safety/Efficacy of Ticagrelor in Post-transplant Patients With Hepatic Artery Thrombosis (HAT)

Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) represents a major cause of graft loss and mortality after Pediatric liver transplantation. Ticagrelor (a new reversible inhibitor of P2Y12 receptor with faster onset of action and greater platelet inhibition) was used to treat patients with pediatric post-transplant hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) compared to low molecular weight heparin.

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

In pediatric patients with post-transplant hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) , low molecular weight heparin is a commonly used method. Ticagrelor, a direct-acting and reversible ADP receptor antagonist, is now the most commonly used ADP receptor antagonist in the treatment of coronary diseases. Compared to its predecessor clopidogrel, the pharmacokinetic profil of ticagrelor is more predictable, demonstrating a faster onset of action and a more consistent platelet inhibition. However, because of the excellent antithrombotic effect and increased bleeding potential, it is recommended that major bleeding, such as OPCAB or CABG surgery, be expected with a high probability, and in case of fatal surgery, the drug should be discontinued for 5 days. The present study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor in pediatirc receipt with post-operative HAT.

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

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
Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography-Based Hepatic Perfusion Index
Time Frame: 3 months
The peak systolic maximum velocity (Vmax) of the HA, and HA resistive index (HARI)
3 months

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
