NCT02531165

Brief Summary

Prospective, randomized, open-label, single-center, investigator-initiated trial, including patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) within 12 hours of the symptom's onset. The study aims to compare platelet inhibition (pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics) of pre-hospital Ticagrelor in patients with STEMI according to two different analgesia protocols using Fentanyl or Morphine.

  • Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of Ticagrelor and AR-C124910XX

    at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 hours

  • Time to peak plasma concentration (tmax) of Ticagrelor and AR-C124910XX

    at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 hours

  • Area under the plasma concentration-time curve of Ticagrelor

    at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 hours

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Morphine

EXPERIMENTAL

* Pre-hospital Ticagrelor 180 mg loading dose orally. * Morphine, initial dose: 4-8 mg, additional doses of 2 mg every 5-15 minutes to achieve adequate sedation, if required. * Aspirin 500 mg loading dose orally (or intravenously). * Unfractioned heparin 5'000 IU loading dose intravenously, additional doses to achieve an ACT \>250 sec during PCI are allowed. * Primary PCI.
