Aspirin in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Hemodialysis Patients

Phase 4
Withdrawn
Conditions
End-Stage Renal Disease
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01198379
Lead Sponsor
Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation
Brief Summary

The study is prospectively initiated to: (1) evaluate the alterations in platelet function to aspirin therapy and the prevalence of aspirin resistance in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis, and (2) compare the incidence of vascular events (myocardial infarction, cardiac death, stroke, vascular access thrombosis, or revascularization procedure) and the safety profile among placebo-treated, aspirin-resistant and aspirin-sensitive patients.
