Aspirin and Thienopyridine Resistance in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Completed
Conditions
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Clopidogrel, Poor Metabolism of
Registration Number
NCT03174990
Lead Sponsor
University of California, Davis
Brief Summary

This study evaluates the effects of Aspirin and thienopyridine resistance in relation to clinical cardiovascular outcomes as the genetic predictors of, and outcomes associated with aspirin and thienopyridine resistance in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) currently remain unknown.

Detailed Description

Although anti-platelet therapy is a cornerstone of PAD treatment, the investigators know very little about the prevalence, genetic determinants and clinical relevance of aspirin and thienopyridine resistance in PAD patients. The investigators expect to report on the prevalence of, and impact on outcomes from aspirin and/or thienopyridine (eg. clopidogrel) resistance, in patients who undergo peripheral arterial angiography/interventions (including carotid angiography/interventions) and operations. This study will provide important information on the utility of testing for aspirin and thienopyridine resistance and improve understanding of the genetic and pathophysiologic basis of anti-platelet therapy resistance in patients with cardiovascular disease, including PAD. Most importantly, this study will serve as the basis for a subsequent randomized prospective trial of different treatment options in PAD patients with aspirin/thienopyridine resistance.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite of major adverse cardiovascular events1 year

Composite of major adverse cardiovascular events including all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, target vessel revascularization (TVR) and limb loss in patients who underwent extremity intervention.

Clopidogrel non-responsivenessImmediate

Clopidogrel non-responsiveness was defined as patients with Plavix reaction units (PRU) ≥ 235

Aspirin non-responsivenessImmediate

Aspirin non-responsiveness was defined as patients with aspirin reaction units (ARU) ≥ 550

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Genetic predictors of aspirin and clopidogrel non-responsivenessImmediate

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were correlated to measures of aspirin and clopidogrel non-responsiveness
