Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designA prospective, double-blind, randomised, single-center, two-armed clinical trial of phase IV.
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific titleEffect of clopidogrel loading dose on brachial flow mediated vasodilation in patients with coronary artery disease
Study acronymCLEOPATRA
Study objectivesOne single dose of clopidogrel causes dose-dependent improvement of flow-mediated dilation to the right brachial artery in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the local ethics committee (Ethik-Kommission der Landesärztekammer Rheinland-Pfalz), dated Dec 20th, 2004 (ref: 837.473.04 [4631]).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedStable coronary artery disease
InterventionSingle dose of 300 mg versus 600 mg of clopidogrel orally.
Intervention typeDrug
PhasePhase IV
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Clopidogrel
Primary outcome measure(s)

Effect of treatment on the absolute change in % Flow-Mediated Dilation (FMD).

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Effects of treatment on:
1. Platelet superoxide production
2. Platelet basal VAsodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein (VASP)-phosphorylation
3. Platelet P2V12-receptor inhibition
