Study in diabetic patients undergoing elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) to investigate whether the blood clotting inhibitor ticagrelor can improve the blood flow in the heart instead of the standard treatment with clopidogrel.

A 30-day, randomized, evalUator-blind, controlled, multi-centre, parallel Group, phase III study to evaluate the Effect of a Low Maintenance Dose TicAgrelor Regimen versus Standard Dose Clopidogrel on Coronary Flow Reserve in Diabetes Mellitus Patients with impaired microvascular function without Prior Myocardial Infarction or Stroke Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. - AUGEAS

CYP3A4 substrates with narrow therapeutic index: quinidine, simvastatin at doses >40 mg daily or lovastatin at doses >40 mg daily 7. Hypersensitivity to ticagrelor or any of its excipients 8. Need for chronic oral anticoagulant therapy or chronic low-molecular-weight heparin 9. Patients with known bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorder 10. History of intracerebral bleed at any time, gastrointestinal (GI) bleed within the past 6 months prior to randomization, or major surgery within 30 days prior to randomization 11. Increased risk of bradycardic events (e.g., known sick sinus syndrome, second or third-degree AV block or previous documented syncope suspected to be due to bradycardia) unless treated with a pacemaker 12.

Inability of the patient to understand and/or comply with study procedures and/or follow up, in the opinion of the investigator, OR any conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, may render the patient unable to complete the study 18. Life expectancy of less than 6 month based on investigator’s judgement 19. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational (defined as nonapproved) product, if taken within five half-lives or 28 days prior to the first administration of the trial medication, whichever is longer 20.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the effect of Ticagrelor on change from baseline in Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve (CFR) at 30 days.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of Ticagrelor on coronary flow parameters at 30 days. To assess the safety and tolerability of Ticagrelor at 30 days.;Primary end point(s): Difference in mean of individual absolute change from baseline to 30 days in Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve (CFR) in the middistal segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery under adenosine infusion measured by Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography (TDE) between the two arms.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The Endpoint for the study is at day 30+/- 3 days after Patient was randomized, got initial CFR measurement and medication was handed over.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Difference in mean of individual absolute change from baseline at 30 days in: - LAD hyperemic mean diastolic flow velocity - LAD resting mean diastolic flow velocity - Bleeding complications (BARC 2, 3 and 5) - Mortality - Myocardial Infarction - Definite and probable stent thrombosis - Serious Adverse Events (SAEs);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The Endpoint for the study is at day 30+/- 3 days after Patient was randomized, got initial CFR measurement and medication was handed over.
