Study summary

Ticagrelor, a direct-acting oral P2Y12-receptor antagonist, provides greater and more consistent platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. This study aimed to compare outcomes of ticagrelor plus aspirin versus clopidogrel plus aspirin 1 year after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in patients with clopidogrel resistance.

Read the detailed description

Between November 2014 and November 2020, 1739 patients underwent OPCAB. Aspirin (100mg daily) and clopidogrel (75mg daily) were administered beginning at aday 1 after surgery. On the 7th postoperative day, the clopidogrel resistance was evaluated by point-of-care assay. Among them, the patients had clopidogrel resistance were enrolled in this study. Investigators divide them into two groups [A: ticagrelor, B; clopidogrel]. Primary endpoint was all-cause of mortality 1 year after OPCAB. Secondary endpoint included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke). Multivariate Cox regression was used to evaluate predictors of end points.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Early graft patency

    graft occlusion rate diagnosed by CT exam, at follow-up angiography, grafts were evaluated by use of the usual definition of patency and were assessed for FitzGibbon patency with the A, B, and O classification system in which FitzGibbon A is an excellent/unimpaired graft, Bis an impaired graft with a stenosis \>50% reducing the caliber of the graft to \<50% of the target artery diameter, and O is a completely occluded graft.

    Time frame: 1 year after OPCAB

Secondary outcomes

  1. degree of resistance

    Platelet reactivity was assayed using the VeriofyNowP2Y12 assay (Accumetrics Inc, San Diego, CA) which is a cartridge-based assay that specifically measures the direct effects of clopidogrel on the platelet P2Y12 receptor. The results are expressed as P2Y12 reaction units (PRUs) for clopidogrel. The cut-off PRU value was 188 PRU and the details were described previous study.

    Time frame: 7 day after surgery

  2. Number of patients with resistance with clopidogrel as assessed by VeriofyNowP2Y12 assay

    The cut-off PRU value was 188 PRU

    Time frame: 7 day after surgery

  3. Mediastinal Bleeding

    total drainage counts (ml) from median tubes

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  4. Total hospital day from admission to discharge

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  5. rate of postoperative stroke of myocardial infarction

    Time frame: Participants will be followed during 1 years from operation

  6. rate of postoperative morbidity/ mortality

    Time frame: Participants will be followed during 5 years from operation

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 22, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
