Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Main objective of the trial: OBSERVATIONAL REGISTRY OF SCREENED PATIENTS To identify the proportion of patients who are good responders to routine doses of Clopidogrel and compare the events of death at 30 days. RANDOMISED PATIENTS To evaluate if reloading with Prasugrel compared to a high dose regimen of Clopidogrel results in more patients having a low platelet reactivity. Patients will be identified who have poor platelet response to previous Clopidogrel and have undergone an invasive procedure (PCI) to treat their narrowed or blocked heart vessels. SUBSTUDIES 1. Title: APACS-HPR genetic substudy To determine the relevant influence of genetic heritage on response variability to the Clopidogrel and Prasugrel antiplatelet treatment. 2) Title: APACS-HPR biomarker substudy To determine the variability of platelet inhibition to Clopidogrel or Prasugrel treatment if this is influenced by the inflammatory condition and the extent of platelet activation and blood flow to the
    Protection of trial subjects
    The APACS trial included patients with known coronary artery anatomy pre-planned PCI clinically. Therefore, the prasugrel loading and maintenance dosing regimen was consistent with standard prescribing guidelines. At the time there was no evidence and no consistent recommendation on how to treat ACS patients who have been pretreated with clopidogrel and who are poor responders. It was belived at the time that these patients may have been exposed to increased bleeding risk by re-loading them with prasugrel, however these patients benefited from preselection of patients with high platelet reactivity (i.e. poor responders) by reduction of ischemic rather than increase in bleeding risk.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study started enrolment in 15 February 2012 and recruitment terminated on the 31st July 2013 well before the predicted recruiting time, so that only 44 patients could be recruited.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Screening details: Patients admitted to the hospital with suspected ACS (unstable angina, NSTEMI or STEMI) requiring PCI were screened. A study blood sample was required at least 2 hours after prior loading with clopidogrel to evaluate platelet activity. If this was not achievable for clinical reasons then this patient would not be eligible for

    Statistical Analysis
    Statistical analysis description
    Baseline variables were compared with the use of chi-square tests for categorical variables; t-tests or the Wilcoxon rank-sum were used for continuous variables depending on the distributions of the variables. Comparison of the primary endpoint and secondary endpoints was carried out using a chi squared or Fishers exact test. The confidence intervals were two-sided with a 95% confidence level, and all hypothesis tests were two-sided carried out at a significance level p < 0.05.

    29 Feb 2012
    NOSA 2 – addition of 3 new sites. Data Custodianship changed. Non-substantial amendment 01 – change to sponsor contact person from Wendy Butcher to Angela Cooper. NOSA02 also includes delayed submission of NOSA01 to the MHRA (this is dated 24th January 2012)

    Protocol version 7/16 October 2012 PIS Version 5/16 October 2012; This amendment was never implemented. The REC was informed that this amendment was ‘voided’ due to new safety information in relation to Prasugrel. PIS V5.0 was approved as part of this amendment. However the CI decided that the amendment of the PIS was not required due to the changes subsequently made and implemented with SA04. Version 4.0 is the latest version of the PIS as approved with SA01.
