Reducing Micro Vascular Dysfunction in Acute Myocardial Infarction by Ticagrelor (REDUCE-MVI)

April 30, 2018 updated by: Maarten van Leeuwen, Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc

Reducing Micro Vascular Dysfunction In Revascularized ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients by Off-target Properties of Ticagrelor

The current trial will compare the protective effect of ticagrelor and prasugrel on microvascular dysfunction in patients with revascularized ST elevation myocardial infarction.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is highly prevalent in revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction and has important prognostic implications. Current data suggest that ticagrelor might be superior to prasugrel in the reduction of coronary microvasculature dysfunction. Thus, we have designed a clinical trial that will compare microvascular function in revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients at treatment steady state with ticagrelor or prasugrel. Coronary microvascular dysfunction will be assessed with the index of microcirculatory resistance after primary percutaneous coronary intervention and at 1 month follow-up in the infarct-related vessel and non-infarct related vessel.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Ticagrelor
Ticagrelor 90 mg twice a day, tablet Duration: 1 year after PCI
After a standard loading dose of 180 mg ticagrelor in the ambulance (before primary PCI), patients will receive a maintenance dose of ticagrelor 90 mg twice a day for 1 year.
Other Names:
  • Brilique
Active Comparator: Prasugrel
Prasugrel 10 mg once a day, tablet Duration: 1 year after PCI
After a standard loading dose of 180 mg ticagrelor in the ambulance (before primary PCI), patients will receive a single loading dose of prasugrel 60 mg (1 day after standard loading dose ticagrelor),followed by a maintenance dose of prasugrel 10 mg once a day for 1 year.
Other Names:
  • Efient
