NCT02052635

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if ticagrelor is as effective as clopidogrel in rate of onset and degree of platelet inhibition for patients with non-ST elevation of acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) undergoing ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bivalirudin.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) Using VerifyNow™ at 0.5 Hours After Loading Dose

    PRU at 0.5 hours after a single oral loading dose of either ticagrelor 180 mg or clopidogrel 600 mg given at the time of the bivalirudin bolus

    0.5 hours post loading dose

  • P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) Using VerifyNow™ at 1 Hour After Loading Dose

    PRU at 1 hour after a single oral loading dose of either ticagrelor 180 mg or clopidogrel 600 mg given at the time of the bivalirudin bolus

    1 hour post loading dose

Study Arms (2)

Ticagrelor

EXPERIMENTAL

90 mg oral tablet

Drug: ticagrelor

Clopidogrel

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

300 mg oral tablet

Drug: clopidogrel

Interventions

Single loading dose of 180mg of ticagrelor at time of bivalirudin administration. Beginning 12 hrs following study drug administration, all pts in the ticagrelor arm will receive ticagrelor 90 mg (maintenance dose) approximately every 12 hrs until Follow-up telephone contact.

Also known as: Brilinta
Ticagrelor

Single loading oral dose of 600 mg of clopidogrel will be given at time of bivalirudin administration. Beginning 4 hrs following study drug administration, all pts in the clopidorgrel arm will receive ticagrelor 180 mg for the loading dose, followed by 90 mg maintenance dose approximately every 12 hours until the Follow-up telephone contact.
