Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess whether Ticagrelor, at steady state, is associated to an improved endothelial function as compared to clopidogrel or prasugrel;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The reactive hyperemia index (RHI) at treatment steady state, assessed with endopath system (Endopath; Itamar Medical Ltd., Cesarea, Israel) assessed 1-2 hour(s) after maintenance drug intake.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3 month | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The reactive hyperemia index (RHI) 1-2 hour(s) after the oral P2Y12 inhibitor loading dose assessed with endopath system (Endopath; Itamar Medical Ltd., Cesarea, Israel) as well other plasma or urine markers of endothelial function [Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), micro-albuminuria, von willebrand factor antigen, C-reactive protein, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)] after drug loading dose and at treatment steady state;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3 month | — |
