Plavix, Prasugrel and Drug Eluting Stents Pilot Trial

Not Applicable
Conditions
PCI- Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Coronary Artery Disease
Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors
Interventions
Drug: Maintenance Dose Arm
Drug: Loading Dose Arm
Registration Number
NCT01103843
Lead Sponsor
St. Francis Hospital, New York
Brief Summary

* The purpose of this study is to determine the level of inhibition of platelet activation of an approved thienopyridine(clopidogrel or prasugrel) and aspirin regimen in the setting of drug eluting coronary stent implantation.

* In subjects with high residual levels of platelet reactivity after receiving either a maintenance or loading dose of either clopidogrel or prasugrel, a cross over of thienopyridine treatment to the alternate medication will occur.

* The study tests the hypothesis that adequate platelet inhibition will occur in subjects who have high levels of platelet reactivity and are subsequently switched from clopidogrel to prasugrel(loading or maintenance dose) without increased episodes of bleeding or MACE events at discharge and 30 days post Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in platelet reactivity after switching medication regimen of two thienopyridines- clopidogrel and prasugrel4 hours post medicaton administration

Platelet reactivity will be measured using the Accumetrics Verify Now P2Y12 platelet assay

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Occurrence of all bleeding events for subjects enrolled into the trial24 hours post PCI or at time of discharge and 30 days post PCI

All bleeding events will be observed, reported and adjudicated by the DSMB

Occurrence of all MACE events for subjects enrolled into the trial24 hours post PCI or at time of discharge and 30 days post PCI

All bleeding events will be observed, reported and adjudicated by the DSMB
