The Effect of Clopidogrel on Coated-Platelets in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization - Full Text View

Sponsor:	University of Oklahoma
Information provided by (Responsible Party):	University of Oklahoma
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00644657

Purpose

This study will explore the effect of clopidogrel on coated-platelets in patients who are given a loading dose before diagnostic catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention. We hypothesis that clopidogrel will reduce the percentage of platelets that are coated and therefore more hypercoagulable.

Primary Outcome Measures:

The Percentage of Coated Platelets After the Administration of Clopidogrel in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization and/or Angioplasty [ Time Frame: 24 hours after the administration of clopidotrel ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The percentage of platelets that are collagen coated after the administration of clopidogrel.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The Percentage of Coated Platelets After Coronary Angiography and/or PCI [ Time Frame: 6 hrs after procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The percentage of coated platelets 24 hours after coronary angiography and/or PCI

Enrollment:	27
Study Start Date:	March 2007
Study Completion Date:	September 2008
Primary Completion Date:	September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Intervention Details:

All subjects will receive a 300 mg loading dose

Other Name: Plavix

Detailed Description:

Platelet activity will be determined by light transmission aggregometry at baseline, after a 300 mg dose of clopidogrel and after the catheterization and/or angioplasty procedure. The change in the percentage of platelets that are coated platelets will be determined.
