简要总结
Patients with diabetes are more likely to develop furring of their coronary arteries and present with angina and heart attacks. Furthermore, after such an event, they have poorer outcomes (higher rates of death) and survivors are more likely to have recurring symptoms. Using a novel "clotting chamber" the investigators have shown that patients with diabetes are more likely to develop blood clots. This study will look at the role of different blood thinning medications in patients with diabetes. If successful, the investigators will provide evidence to conduct large clinical studies to look at the role of additional blood thinning medication in reducing heart attacks and strokes in patients with diabetes.
详细描述
The objective of this study is to compare the effect of Clopidogrel on platelet dependent thrombosis in patients with T2DM and CAD with placebo. The Badimon chamber, an ex vivo arterial injury model is used for this purpose. This model simulates the in vivo situation of high shear arterial wall damage and helps to quantify thrombus which is the sum endpoint of all haemostatic abnormalities seen in vitro.

研究组 & 干预措施
C
Patients assigned to clopidogrel in addition to their standard care.(all patients will be on aspirin)We aim to study the effect of clopidogrel as dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with established coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes. Ninety patients with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease has been randomly treated with clopidogrel or placebo (45 each) for one week in addition to their standard care (including aspirin,75 mg once daily).
干预措施: clopidogrel (Drug)
P
Patients assigned to placebo in addition to their standard care.(all patients will be on aspirin).This is a single-centre randomised double-blind placebo-controlled parallel design study, comparing efficacy of clopidogrel versus placebo in patients with T2DM and coronary artery disease. Ninety patients have completed the study. All patients were on their routine medications as per standard practice. After informed consent, participants were randomised to receive either clopidogrel 75mg daily or placebo for 7 days.
干预措施: placebo (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
To compare the effect of Clopidogrel in reduction of thrombogenicity in patients with T2DM and CAD with placebo
时间窗: seven days
次要结局
- To identify patients (in particular T2DM patients with CAD) resistant to oral antiplatelet therapy(seven days)
- To characterise features in T2DM patients responsible for increased thrombogenicity(seven days)
