Endothelium, Stenting, & Antiplatelet Therapy (EST)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Endothelial dysfunction is an important predictor - and a determinant - of adverse clinical outcome. Endothelial function is impaired by coronary artery stenting, a stud from our group has shown that it can be improved by platelet inhibition using clopidogrel. However, clopidogrel unresponsiveness is a known problem, and it has been show that the endothelial effects of clopidogrel tend to wane upon prolonged treatment. Whether a more effective anti-platelet therapy is able to prevent/improve not only thrombotic events but also endothelial dysfunction, with potential positive impact on clinical outcome in patients undergoing coronary artery stenting, is an important hypothesis that needs to be further investigated. To date, evidence regarding "ancillary" (non-platelet-dependent) effects of antiaggregant drugs is very limited. For instance, while their antiplatelet effects, and their beneficial effects in patients with acute coronary syndromes, have been clearly demonstrated in multicentric trials, it remains to be shown whether these drugs also protect endothelial function. Interestingly, some authors suggest that the mortality benefit observed in the PLATO study is at least in part independent of direct antiplatelet effects. No study, to date, has tested the effects of prasugrel and/or ticagrelor on endothelial function. With the present trial, the investigators plan to test the effect of clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor on endothelial function before and up to 4 weeks after coronary artery stenting. This study will provide important pathophysiologic insight on the relationship between platelet aggregation and endothelial function, two parameters that have been shown to influence patients' prognosis.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
