Other Clinical Trial - A Pharmacodynamic Study of a Personalized Strategy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In patients with heart attacks, the treatment of choice is to restore blood flow with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (use of stents (metal meshes) to open blockages). After PCI, the standard drug treatment includes aspirin and clopidogrel. These medications block full function of the platelet cells, which are responsible for clotting. Despite their use, patients after PCI are at risk for heart attacks, sudden clotting of stents or death. A major contributor may be resistance to clopidogrel. New more potent drugs, which can overcome the resistance, are now available; however, they come with an increase chance of severe bleeding and costs. An ideal solution would be to identify at-risk patients and selectively treat them with more potent drugs, while lower-risk patients continue with clopidogrel. This type of strategy (personalized strategy) would decrease heart attacks and death (compared to clopidogrel), while also preventing bleeding complications (compared to treating all patients with the new drugs).

Of resistant patients, many carry genes (inherited units) that prevent proper absorption of clopidogrel. Our group has developed and tested a new bedside genetic test, which identifies carriers of at-risk genes. However, this technique alone does not identify all at-risk patients. Consequently, we have now devised a novel tool, which combines genetics with patient characteristics to identify high-risk patients.

The present study combines this new tool into a strategy for personalized treatment. Patients with heart attacks who undergo PCI will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 strategies: a) new personalized strategy, b) clopidogrel strategy (previous standard drug) or c) ticagrelor strategy (stronger approved drug). The function of the platelet cells will be measured at 1 month to determine potential benefits. Evaluation of this new personalized strategy is important for improving patient outcomes after PCI. The hypothesis is that patients receiving a personalized strategy will have decrease risk for future heart attacks and bleeding.

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.
