Effects of Low Molecular Weight Heparin Versus Dabigatran on Platelet

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Anticoagulation with heparin is indicated in several situations, such as acute coronary disease (in combination with antiplatelet therapy) for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism and situations with high risk of thromboembolism. Recently, the latest trials on anticoagulation for stroke prevention on atrial fibrillation have shown an increased risk for acute mycardial infarction on patients submitted to new oral anticoagulants, such as dabigatran. The mechanism is still unclear, however, in this context, some previous studies about interaction between anticoagulants ( mainly heparin) and platelet aggregation have shown conflicting results: while some suggest an inhibitory effect of heparin on platelet function, others suggest that heparin could promote an increase in platelet activation. The present study aims to assess the effects of the LMWH Enoxaparin and direct thrombin inhibitor, Dabigatran, on platelet aggregation, studied and compared by different methods in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD).

Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective and open study. We will include 29 patients with chronic CAD, stable, using ASA. All patients will receive the same medications in effective doses recommended at each stage of the study, so that every individual is his self-control, the Enoxaparin will be administrated at a dose of 1mg/kg twice a day and Dabigatran at a dose of 150mg twice a day. Study Design: Phase 1 : There will be a first collection of blood samples from all patients at baseline for laboratory tests, then the patient will receive Dabigatran for 5 days and laboratory tests including platelet aggregation will be made, among others. After a 30 days washout period, enoxaparin will be administrated for 5 days and in the 6st day, the same laboratory tests, including platelet aggregation, will be performed. ;

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.
