Study summary

This is a single-center, open-label prospective randomized pharmacodynamic investigation of two anti platelet regimens in patients who are planned to undergo PCI for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome(NSTE-ACS) for 24 hours

  1. Ticagrelor : loading dose(180mg) followed by maintenance dose(90mg bid)
  2. Tirofiban : 0.4ug/kg/min for 30min followed by 0.1ug/kg/min

    • both agents will be given on top of aspirin
Read the detailed description

In combination with aspirin, P2Y12 receptor antagonist or glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor(GPI) is now a recommended drug as the standard dual antiplatelet regimen in patients with acute coronary syndrome(1).

Ticagrelor is a newly developed oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitor. It shows faster, greater and more consistent platelet inhibition as compared with previous P2Y12 receptor antagonist clopidogrel(2) and it also shows better clinical outcome and similar risk for bleeding as compared with clopidogrel(3).Interestingly, pharmacodynamic data of some studies showed excellent effect of ticagrelor in terms of inhibiting platelet activation apparently as high as that of GPI(2,4).

Primary hypothesis: Ticagrelor have a comparable efficacy in platelet inhibition to GPI in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage IPA after 20µmol/l ADP at 2 hour

    Blood samples anticoagulated with 0.129 mol/l sodium citrate will be collected for platelet reactivity. Platelet-rich plasma, obtained by centrifuging whole blood for 15 min at 100 g, will be stimulated with 20 µmol/l ADP and aggregation will be assessed using a light transmittance aggregometer(Chronolog, USA).

    Time frame: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage IPA at 8 hours after 20µMol ADP, TRAP, Arachidonic acid, Collagen

    Blood samples anticoagulated with 0.129 mol/l sodium citrate will be collected for platelet reactivity. Platelet-rich plasma, obtained by centrifuging whole blood for 15 min at 100 g, will be stimulated with 20 µmol/l ADP, TRAP, arachidonic acid and collagen and aggregation will be assessed using a light transmittance aggregometer(Chrono-log, USA).

    Time frame: 8 hours

  2. Percentage IPA at 8 hours after 20µMol ADP, TRAP, Arachidonic acid, Collagen

    Blood samples with 0.129 mol/l sodium citrate will be collected for platelet reactivity. Platelet-rich plasma, obtained by centrifuging whole blood for 15 min at 100 g, will be stimulated with 20 µmol/l ADP, TRAP, arachidonic acid and collagen and aggregation will be assessed using a light transmittance aggregometer(Chrono-log, USA).

    Time frame: 24 hours

  3. periprocedural bleeding

    Periprocedural bleeding will be monitored and described according to BARC and TIMI definition

    Time frame: 0~24 hours

  4. Peak cardiac enzyme level

    From blood samples at 0, 2H, 8H and 24H, CK-MB and Troponin I will be measured

    Time frame: 0~24 hours

  5. Percentage IPA after TRAP, arachidonic acid, collagen at 2 hours

    Blood samples anticoagulated with 0.129 mol/l sodium citrate will be collected for platelet reactivity.
