Scientific title | Antiplatelet Regimen Tailoring after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (ART-PCI): a single centre longitudinal cohort prospective trial |
Study acronym | ART-PCI |
Study objectives | Assessment of platelet residual aggregation (APRA) may help to identify patients at increased risk for major thrombotic events after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), who may benefit from antiplatelet regimen tailoring (ART). |
Ethics approval(s) | Ethics Committee of the Clinical Center of Serbia approved on the 2nd June 2009 (ref: 553/12) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) |
Intervention | Multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) is performed using an impedance aggregometer (Multiplate analyzer, Dynabyte GmbH, Munich, Germany). Whole blood is sampled 24 hours after the procedure and placed in 7 ml plastic tubes containing the anticoagulant heparin (50 U/ml). For patients who received IIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban, blood samples are obtained at least 24 hours after the completition of tirofiban infusion. Blood samples are stored on the room temperature for 30 minutes, diluted (1:2) with 0.9% NaCl solution and incubated on 37 +/- 0.5 °C for 3 minutes, using a computer-controlled electronic pipette. ASPI test is used to detect the effect of aspirin using the ciclooxygenase substrate arachidonic acid (final concentration 0.5 mM/L). ADP test is used to assess the blockade of ADP receptor by clopidogrel. Aggregation is continuously recorded for 6 minutes after ADP (final concentration 6.4 gM/L) is added. PGE1, as a suppressor of intracellular free calcium, is simultaneously added to increase the test's sensitivity to ADP. The increase of impedance is transformed to aggregation units (AU) that are plotted against time as area under the curve (AU/min). TRAP test resembles direct activation of the thrombin receptor using the thrombin receptor activating peptide (final concentration 32 gM/L). PRA above 50%, compared to the basal value estimated by TRAP test, is linked with low responding (LR) to clopidogrel. A 150 mg daily clopidogrel is instituted in low-responders (LRs) during the first 30 days after the procedure. The second APRA is obtained 7 days after the first test. In LRs, the 500 mg maintenance dose of ticlopidine is administrated instead of clopidogrel. A 300 mg aspirin daily is administrated during the next 30 days to all patients without contraindications. After 30 days, the doses will be reduced to 100 mg aspirin and 75 mg clopidogrel. Patients will be followed-up at 30 days and 1 year after enrolment by telephone interviews and/or outpatient visits. Interviewers will be blinded to the results of platelet aggregation. An independent Clinical Event Committee will adjudicate the occurrence of the major events and major bleeding. Safety data will be reviewed monthly by an independent Safety Monitoring Committee. Statistical analyses will be performed by the Institute for Medical Statistics and Informatics, School of Medicine, Belgrade, Serbia. Statistical analysis: Continuous variables are expressed as median values with 25th and 75th quartiles, whereas categorical variables are expressed as frequency and percentage. Analysis for normality of data are performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Baseline differences between groups are analysed using the independent Student t-test or Mann-Whitney test for continuous variables, and Pearson X2 test for categorical variables. Univariable logistic regression model is used to identify risk factors influencing clinical outcomes at 30-day follow-up. Time-to-event outcomes are presented using Kaplan-Meier curves; differences between groups are compared using a 2-sided log-rank test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis will be performed to identify independent predictors of high PRA as dependent variables. Variables are selected by backward method with a P-value of less than 0.1 as entry criterion. The cut-off values for significant predictors are determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | Efficacy outcome: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). MACE comprises death, nonfatal reinfarction, ischaemic stroke and target vessel revascularisation (TVR). Nonfatal reinfarction is defined as the presence of at least two of the three following criteria: 1. Recurrent ischaemic chest pain longer than 20 minutes 2. Reoccurrence of ST elevation greater than 0.1 mV or new pathognomonic Q waves in at least two contiguous leads, and 3. Increase of cardiac troponin over the upper reference limit (URL) and over 50% of the lowest recovery level from the index myocardial infaction (MI) The more than triple URL value of cardiac troponin after PCI is defined as PCI-related myocardial infarction. Stroke is defined as a new onset of focal or global neurological deficit lasting more than 24 hours, and is computed tomography (CT)-classified as ischaemic. Haemorrhagic stroke is counted as life-threatening bleeding and is not included into stroke analyses. Target-vessel revascularisation is defined as ischaemia-driven revascularisation of the infarction-related artery during the follow-up period. Safety outcome: Major bleeding. Bleeding events were classified according to Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) criteria. All primary and secondary endpoints will be recorded at 1 month and at 1 year after the enrolment. |
Secondary outcome measures | Subacute stent thrombosis. All primary and secondary endpoints will be recorded at 1 month and at 1 year after the enrolment. |
