Is There a Transient Rebound Effect of Platelet Reactivity Following Cessation of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With Ticagrelor - a Single Center Prospective Observational Trial
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
to assess whether cessation of 12 months DAPT regimen containing Ticagrelor results in a hyperreactive phase of platelet function
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Detailed Description
the study will be composed of a cohort of patients , who completed 12 months of DAPT with Ticagrelor (standard recommended dose for ACS - 90 mg BID), did not experience any clinical or adverse event during this time period and are about to discontinue Ticagrelor. We intend to measure the platelet reactivity for each patient on 4 time points - prior to cessation of Ticagrelor (i.e. while still on DAPT) and 1,4 and 12 weeks post discontinuation of therapy. There will not be a control group.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
DAPT patients Patients planned for cessation of DAPT regimen containing Ticagrelor after 12 months of treatment following coronary stent implantation . the platelet reactivity will be assessed 1 week prior to cessation of DAPT and than at 1,3,and 12 weeks post DAPT cessation. |
Other: Platelet reactivity testing
assessment of platelet aggregation using the VerifyNow purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled, 12 (P2Y12) platelet function assay (Accumetrics, San Diego, California)
