Clinical Trial Summary

Fast and accurate platelet inhibition is an important therapeutic goal in the acute treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Platelet inhibitory effects induced by normal oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists, for example ticagrelor, are delayed in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary PCI), which may be attributed to impaired absorption affecting drug pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Another therapeutic goal in the acute treatment of STEMI is reduction of sympathetic stress and catecholamine release, thereby improving the balance between the demand for and supply of oxygen, by analgesia like fentanyl of morphine. To date, there are no studies that have specifically assessed the pharmacodynamics influences of fentanyl on platelet inhibition in STEMI patients who are pre-treated with crushed ticagrelor tablets. Therefore, In the ON-TIME-3 study, the investigators seek to show the influence of fentanyl on platelet inhibition in STEMI patients who are pre-treated with crushed ticagrelor in the ambulance.
