Platelet Reactivity in Stent Thrombosis Patients
- Registration Number
- NCT01012544
- Lead Sponsor
- St. Antonius Hospital
- Brief Summary
Recent studies have demonstrated a marked interindividual variability of clopidogrel's capacity to inhibit platelet aggregation with a substantial proportion (11-34%) of the patients considered non-responders to clopidogrel treatment. Variable intestinal absorption is suggested to contribute to the inconsistencies in response to clopidogrel. However, little is known about intestinal absorption in subjects who had suffered from a stent thrombosis. The MAPCAT-study has been designed to investigate whether plasma pharmacokinetics (represented by Cmax, Tmax and the AUC) after a 600 mg loading dose are significantly different between subjects who have suffered a stent thrombosis and subjects who have not suffered a stent thrombosis.
- Detailed Description
Objectives:
The first objective of the MAPCAT-study is to investigate whether plasma pharmacokinetics (Cmax, Tmax and AUC) of an additional 600 mg loading dose are impaired in patients with a history of stent thrombosis.
The second objective of the MAPCAT study is to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in receptors, enzymes and ligands involved in the process of thrombosis and haemostasis as well in the conversion-process of clopidogrel into its metabolites do have influence on both the absolute magnitude of platelet inhibition and Cmax, Tmax and AUC.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description stent thrombosis patients Clopidogrel Patients with a history of a stent thrombosis Patients without a history of a stent thrombosis Clopidogrel Patients without a history of stent thrombosis
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Plasma concentrations of unchanged clopidogrel, its active thiol metabolite and its inactive carboxyl metabolite between the different patient groups after the administration of a 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel. 6 hours after the administration of a 600mg loading dose of clopidogrel
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The magnitude of platelet reactivity as measured with several commercial available platelet function tests before and 6 hours after the ingestion of the loading dose. platelet reactivity measured at baseline and 6 hours after a 600 mg clopidogrel loading dose. Exploratory Endpoint: prevalence of various genetic polymorphisms that might influence the pharmacokinetics of clopidogrel blood obtained for genetic sampeling at timepoint of first study blood collection
