Platelet Reactivity After TAVI: A Multicenter Pilot Study (REAC-TAVI)

August 1, 2018 updated by: Andres Iñiguez Romo, MD, PhD, Hospital de Meixoeiro

Assessment of Platelet REACtivity After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

A high platelet reactivity in patients with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis (AS) selected for TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation) procedure has been demonstrated previously, and the use of double antiaggregation therapy (DAPT) with Clopidogrel and Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) do not achieve consistent and adequate suppression of platelet reactivity. The purpose of this study is evaluate the efficacy of ticagrelor alone versus DAPT with clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of high platelet reactivity following TAVI.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

For inclusion in the study subjects should fulfill the following criteria:

  1. Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.
  2. Adult patients (more than 18 years) with ability to understand and accept the participation in the clinical trial.
  3. Patients with degenerative symptomatic severe AS accepted for TAVI after evaluation of the Heart Team of each center.
  4. Patients who are not participating in any other clinical trial or research study (registries allowed).

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

  1. Recent stroke <14 days prior to TAVI, non-revascularized severe coronary or carotid artery disease (>70% stenosis) or life expectancy < 12 months
  2. Patients under chronic oral anticoagulation
  3. Patients with proven allergy to aspirin, clopidogrel or ticagrelor
  4. Patients that after TAVI cannot undergo a regimen of single or dual antiplatelet therapy for 3 months due to a new post-TAVI medical indication
  5. Known pregnancy or breast-feeding
  6. Concomitant oral or intravenous therapy with potent inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) that cannot be suspended during the course of the study. Medications considered as potent inhibitors are: ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin (or erythromycin but not astromicin, nefazodone, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, atazanavir, and more than a daily liter of grapefruit juice.
  7. Thrombocytopenia (<50,000 platelets U/L) well documented and clinically relevant.
  8. Patients with documented moderate or severe hepatic insufficiency
  9. Any condition that may put the patient at risk or influence the outcome of the trial
  10. Patients previously randomized in this trial or in another clinical trial with an investigational product or device over the past 30 days.
  11. Patients who cannot attend follow up visits scheduled in the study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Ticagrelor
Patients with high-on-treatment platelet reactivity (PRU ≥ 208)
Active Comparator: Aspirin/Clopidogrel
Patients with high-on-treatment platelet reactivity (PRU ≥ 208)
No Intervention: Registry arm
Patients with normal-on-treatment platelet reactivity (PRU < 208) will continue with Aspirin 100 mg plus Clopidogrel 75 mg daily during three months following TAVI.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Evaluate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of residual platelet reactivity by a system to verify the patient's platelet reactivity (VerifyNow P2Y12 assay).
Time Frame: Three months after antiplatelet treatment initiation following procedure.
Three months after antiplatelet treatment initiation following procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Evaluate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel and aspirin for the suppression of residual platelet reactivity by VerifyNow P2Y12 assay.
Time Frame: Six hours after antiplatelet treatment initiation following procedure.

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
