Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary endpoint of the study is:<br /><br>to show that patients with STEMI who are pre-treated with crushed ticagrelor<br /><br>180 mg and paracetamol 1000 mg have a higher level of platelet inhibition<br /><br>directly after primary PCI compared to patients pre-treated with crushed<br /><br>ticagrelor 180 mg and fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg with a maximum of 4 mcg/kg.<br /><br>This is measured by the level of platelet reactivity units (PRU) at T2<br /><br>(directly post-PCI or 1 hour post-angiography) and by the percentage of High on<br /><br>Platelet Reactivity (HPR) as defined as a PRU >208 (1) at T2. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>- To demonstrate that paracetamol is non-inferior to fentanyl in pain reduction<br /><br>in STEMI patients, measured by the level of pain using NRS<br /><br>- The level of platelet inhibition (PRU) at T1, T3 and T4.<br /><br>- The percentage of High on treatment Platelet Reactivity (HPR) as defined as a<br /><br>PRU >208 at T1, T3 and T4.<br /><br>- The level of the active metabolite of a higher active metabolite of<br /><br>ticagrelor and AR-C124910XX measured in plasma, at T1, T2, T3 and T4.<br /><br>- Extent of ST-segment deviation (*70% ST-segment resolution) pre-PCI and 1<br /><br>hour post-PCI.<br /><br>- TIMI flow grade 3 in the culprit vessel at initial angiography.<br /><br>- Requiring of fentanyl in patients randomized to paracetamol.<br /><br>- MACE and stent thrombosis at 30 days of follow-up. </p><br>
