Platelet Inhibition in the Acute Phase of STEMI

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Background:

Dual antithrombotic treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel is recommended in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines recommend a bolus dose of aspirin of 250-500 mg and a 600 mg bolus dose of clopidogrel as soon as STEMI is suspected. Studies have shown that more newly produced platelets are present in the acute phase of STEMI, and it is likely that these immature platelets are haemostatically more active and might be of importance in thrombus formation.

The enhanced platelet reactivity may reduce the effect of aspirin and clopidogrel in the acute phase of STEMI compared to measurements made in the same patients 3 months after primary PCI.

Aim:

This study aims to compare platelet response to aspirin and clopidogrel in the acute phase of STEMI with the platelet response in the same patients 3 months after STEMI .

Design:

This study is an observational follow-up study.

Materials and methods:

46 patients with STEMI referred to primary PCI at Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby will be included in the study. A total of 3 blood samples are obtained in the acute phase of STEMI: Prior to primary PCI (Blood sample 1), at 4 hours (Blood sample 2) and at 12 hours (Blood sample 3) after administration of loading dose aspirin and clopidogrel. When patients are in a stable phase 3 month later, a final blood sample is taken (Blood sample 4). The blood is analyzed 30 minutes after withdrawal of blood by the platelet aggregation test Multiplate® aggregometry (agonists: Collagen, arachidonic acid and adenosinediphosphate) and VerifyNow® arachidonic acid and P2Y12 aggregometry. Platelet count, volume and the immature platelet fraction (IPF) will be measured using Sysmex® flowcytometry.

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.
