Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Clopidogrel is the P2Y12 inhibitor of choice in PCI patients requiring OAC. However, concerns have been raised based on the notion that a considerable number of patients may have inadequate response to clopidogrel. Although practice recommendations indicate that the use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors (i.e., ticagrelor) may be considered in patients at increased thrombotic risk, they do not recommend routine testing to identify patients with poor response to clopidogrel. The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamic effects of different P2Y12 inhibiting therapy (clopidogrel vs ticagrelor) in patients at high risk for high platelet reactivity identified according to the ABCD-GENE score in PCI treated patients also requiring OAC. Up to a total of up to 63 patients are planned to be prospectively enrolled in this investigation which will entail a series of comprehensive pharmacodynamic assessments to reach the study aim.

Detailed Description

The combination of aspirin plus a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, also known as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), is the cornerstone of treatment for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, a considerable number of patients undergoing PCI also have an indication to be on treatment with an oral anticoagulant (OAC). It is estimated that 10-15% of PCI patients also have an indication to be on OAC, raising concerns on their optimal antithrombotic treatment regimen. Studies have consistently shown dropping aspirin and maintaining a P2Y12 inhibitor and OAC to be associated with reduces bleeding without any significant increase in ischemic events. Accordingly, current practice recommendations is to limit the use of aspirin to the peri-PCI period and maintain dual therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor and an OAC. Clopidogrel is the P2Y12 inhibitor of choice in PCI patients requiring OAC. However, concerns have been raised based on the notion that a considerable number of patients may have inadequate response to clopidogrel, also known as high platelet reactivity (HPR) status, and thus be at risk for thrombotic complications. Although practice recommendations indicate that the use of potent P2Y12 inhibitors (i.e., ticagrelor) may be considered in patients at increased thrombotic risk, they do not recommend routine testing to identify patients with HPR status. Nevertheless, consensus recommendations do indicate that the selective use of tests to define HPR status is a reasonable option in selected cases such as PCI patients requiring OAC. The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacodynamic effects of different P2Y12 inhibiting therapy (clopidogrel vs ticagrelor) in patients at high risk for HPR identified according to the ABCD-GENE score in PCI treated patients also requiring OAC. Up to a total of up to 63 patients are planned to be prospectively enrolled in this investigation which will entail a series of comprehensive pharmacodynamic assessments to reach the study aim.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: ABCD-GENE >10 - Clopidogrel

Patients with an ABCD-GENE>10 score will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to ticagrelor (60 mg/bid) or clopidogrel (75 mg/qd). Treatment will be maintained for 30 days.

Drug: Clopidogrel
Patients will be administered a 600 mg loading dose followed by a 75 mg daily for the duration of the study.
Other Names:
  • plavix
  • Experimental: ABCD-GENE >10 - Ticagrelor

    Patients with an ABCD-GENE>10 score will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to ticagrelor (60 mg/bid) or clopidogrel (75 mg/qd). Treatment will be maintained for 30 days.

    Drug: Ticagrelor 60mg
    Patients will be administered a 180 mg loading dose followed by a 60 mg bid for the duration of the study.
    Other Names:
  • brilinta
  • Active Comparator: ABCD-GENE <10 - Clopidogrel

    Patients with an ABCD-GENE<10 will be treated with clopidogrel (75 mg/qd) for 30 days.

    Drug: Clopidogrel
    Patients will be administered a 600 mg loading dose followed by a 75 mg daily for the duration of the study.
    Other Names:
  • plavix
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Platelet reactivity measured as PRU [30 days]

      The primary end point of our study will be levels of platelet reactivity, measured as P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) using the VerifyNow system of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients with an ABCD-Gene score ≥10.
