Trial Outcomes & Findings for Optimizing Aspirin and Clopidogrel Therapy (BOchum CLopidogrel and Aspirin Plan) (NCT NCT01212302)

NCT ID: NCT01212302

Last Updated: 2011-09-16

Results Overview

In patients treated with aspirin and clopidogrel aggregometry was performed and depending on the results the patients were either responder or low-responder of antiplatelet therapy. The following definitions were used for clopidogrel low response (CLR: \>5 ohm when stimulated with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) 5 μM) and ASA low response (ALR: \>0 ohm;stimulated with arachidonic acid 10 μM) with the ChronoLog 590 aggregometer. In the case of low-response alternative antiplatelet therapy was modified according to the study plan (see protocol section).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Population: Sample size calculation: With the assumption that the incidence of clopidogrel low response was at least 20% and ASA low response 10%. Choosing a power of 97.5% and a two-sided value of 0.05, an overall sample size was required of at least 400 patients. To compensate for a possible loss of follow-up, we aimed for inclusion of approx. 500 patients.

In patients treated with aspirin and clopidogrel aggregometry was performed and depending on the results the patients were either responder or low-responder of antiplatelet therapy. The following definitions were used for clopidogrel low response (CLR: \>5 ohm when stimulated with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) 5 μM) and ASA low response (ALR: \>0 ohm;stimulated with arachidonic acid 10 μM) with the ChronoLog 590 aggregometer. In the case of low-response alternative antiplatelet therapy was modified according to the study plan (see protocol section).
