Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

July 11, 2017 updated by: Moo Hyun Kim, Dong-A University

Comparison of Prasugrel and Ticagrelor Antiplatelet Effects in Korean Patients Presenting With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

To compare efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Prasugrel and ticagrelor are recommended in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Both prasugrel and ticagrelor show more rapid and potent antiplatelet effect compared with clopidogrel. However, previous report comparing the efficacy and safety of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with STEMI of East Asian ethnicity is lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the antiplatelet efficacy and safety using laboratory platelet function tests and clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI treated with either prasugrel or ticagrelor.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With High Platelet Reactivity
Time Frame: 48 hours after loading dose of study drug
Platelet reactivity were measured by VerifyNow (volumetrics accuretic,San Diego, California, USA), and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation P2Y12 assay (BioCytex, Marseille, France) with FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, California, USA) using. Measurement time gap +/- 12 hours were allowed. High platelet reactivity (HPR) is defined as the result of P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) >235 and platelet reactivity index (PRI) >50%.
48 hours after loading dose of study drug

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events
Time Frame: 30 days
Any major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event including (death, myocardial infarction, or revascularization and stroke) until day 30.
30 days
Bleeding Event
Time Frame: 30 days
Any event related to bleeding including access site bleeding and peri-procedural bleeding based on Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) criteria.
30 days
Adverse Drug Reaction
Time Frame: 30 days
Any adverse reaction related to study drug until 30 days after percutaneous coronary intervention.
30 days
Pre-procedure P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU)
Time Frame: Baseline
Platelet reactivity was measured using VerifyNow (volumetrics accuretic, San Diego, California, USA). Platelet reactivity values were presented as P2Y12 reaction units (PRU).
Baseline
Number of Participants With Low Platelet Reactivity
Time Frame: 48 hours after loading dose of study drug
Platelet reactivity were measured using VerifyNow (volumetrics accuretic, San Diego, California, USA), and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation P2Y12 assay (BioCytex, Marseille, France) with FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, California, USA) using. Measurement time gap +/- 12 hours were allowed. Low platelet reactivity (LPR) is defined as the result of P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) <85 and platelet reactivity index (PRI)<16%. The PRU value for LPR, 18 patients were in prasugrel groups and 19 patients in ticagrelor groups, regarding the PRI value for LPR, 16 patients were in each groups.
48 hours after loading dose of study drug
Pre-procedure Platelet Reactivity Index (PRI)
Time Frame: Baseline
Platelet reactivity was measured using vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) phosphorylation P2Y12 assay. Platelet reactivity values were presented as platelet reactivity index (PRI).
