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   44338   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7368   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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    1.Preoperative myocardial injury (baseline value), defined as hsTnT release > 14 ng/L.
    2.Absence of significant occlusive coronary artery disease as diagnosed through angiography (and confirmed by FFR).
    3.Postoperative myocardial injury, defined as hsTnT release > 14 ng/L, which exceed the baseline value.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. if troponin elevation is diagnosed as myocardial infarction by cardiologist.
    2. Presence of significant occlusive coronary artery disease, as diagnosed through preoperative angiography, requiring treatment.
    3. No postoperative hsTnT values above the clinical reference of 14 ng/L and no rise with respect to baseline value.
    4. Active bleeding.
    5. Active cardiac conditions at the time of randomisation such as unstable angina pectoris, active congestive heart failure (CHF), serious cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic valvular disease.
    6. Clear indication for long-term P2Y12 inhibitor use.
    7. Preoperative use of P2Y12 inhibitors.
    8. Previous allergy or intolerance to clopidogrel.
    9. Use of oral anticoagulants after surgery.
    10. Use of intravenous glycoprotein IIB/IIA receptor inhibitors in the previous three days.
    11. Coronary revascularization therapy in the previous six months.
    12. Renal failure requiring dialysis.
    13. Significant liver disease (i.e. ALAT, ASAT > 3x ULN).
    14. Cancer with an expected life expectancy less than 6 months.
    15. Excessive alcohol use.
    16. No informed consent.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    1. Efficacy outcomes:
    MACE:
    Defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke and arterial thrombotic events.

    Death:
    Subdivided as cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular. All deaths with a clear cardiovascular cause including haemorrhagic or unknown cause will be classified as cardiovascular. Only deaths due to a documented non-cardiovascular cause will be classified as non-cardiovascular.

    Myocardial infarction (2 of 3 criteria):
    1. Typical ischemic chest pain,
    2. Elevation of troponin (TnT) values,
    3. New ECG changes which include new persistent ST/T changes, new BBB or new Q-waves in at least 2 consecutive leads

    Severe coronary ischemia leading to an intervention:
    Unstable angina with ECG changes requiring hospitalization, which leads to coronary revascularization (PTCA, CABG) (or transfer for revascularization) during hospitalization.

    Revascularization of coronary arteries:
    PTCA
    CABG

    Arterial thrombotic events complicating vascular surgery, leading to severe limb ischemia and consequently to intervention:
    Severe limb ischemia of the lower extremity which is deemed to threaten the viability of the limb, and is associated with continuing ischemic pain, and neurological deficit, or inadequate skin capillary circulation, or inaudible arterial flow signals by Doppler of the pedal arteries AND which leads to hospitalization for an intervention such as thrombolytic therapy, angioplasty, bypass surgery or amputation.

    Reperfusion of peripheral arteries:
    1. Catheter directed thrombolytic therapy of a peripheral artery
    2. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the iliac or femoral arteries
    3. Surgical revascularization of the aortic or infrainguinal arteries

    Stroke:
    New focal neurological deficit thought to be vascular in origin lasting greater than 24 hours. Confirmation with CT scan/MRI is recommended but not mandatory. Strokes will be further classified as ischemic, haemorrhagic, or uncertain.

    TIA :
    Transient ischemic attack; new onset focal neurological deficit that resolves within 24 hours.

    Unstable angina with ECG changes:
    An episode of angina lasting greater than 15 minutes which is refractory to the patient’s usual medications, which leads to hospital admission and is associated with ECG changes consistent with coronary ischemia.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Patients will be seen on outpatient clinic visit monthly for a total follow-up time of 1 year.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Safety outcomes

    Life-threatening bleeding
    Fatal or intra-cranial bleeding or bleeding requiring surgical intervention or transfusion of at least 4 units of blood or plasma expanders, or a drop in hemoglobin of ≥ 5 g/dL hemoglobin or a ≥ 15% absolute decrease in hematocrit.

    Moderate and minor bleeding
    Bleeding which requires ≤3 units of blood or blood products. Minor bleedings will be classified as all other bleedings not requiring transfusion, however will lead to temporary or permanent cessation of study medication and/or aspirin.

    (Bleeding definitions are in concordance with TIMI bleeding criteria)


    Other endpoints:

    Presence of significant obstructive coronary artery disease:
    Significant obstructive coronary artery disease will be assed by consulting cardiologist and measurements and cut-off values are according to current guidelines used in the Erasmus Medical Center.

    Quality of life during follow-up period

    Novel biomarker identification:
    Identification of biomarkers that predict the recurrence of an acute vascular event during 1-year follow-up. Blood sample collection will be done as described elsewhere. Blood samples will be analysed after all study participants have completed one-year follow-up.
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Patients will be seen on outpatient clinic visits postoperatively on 30-days and every 3 months for a total follow-up time of 1 year.
    Quality of life will be assessed twice, at 6 months and at end of study.
