What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether a genetic test can help choose a safer blood thinner for people who have had a heart attack. After one month on two blood thinners, some patients will switch to a single, lower-potency drug based on their genetic profile. The goal is to see if this approach causes fewer bleeding problems while still preventing future heart attacks. About 2,468 participants will be followed for one year.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
aspirin or clopidogrel (guided by genetic test)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a personalized approach that lowers bleeding risk after a heart attack without increasing the chance of another heart attack or stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a large Phase 3 trial, but the genetic testing approach is complex and may not work for everyone. There is still a risk of bleeding or clotting events.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Being 18-year-old or older * Admission for type 1 acute myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI) * Bedside genetic testing for clopidogrel resistance that can be performed during hospital stay for ACS (oral swab kit with result within 1 hour) * Treated with aspirin and ticagrelor, or aspirin and prasugrel at the screening phase and at the randomization visit. * High bleeding risk as defined below (criteria adapted from the Consensus Document From the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk) (at least one criterion) : * Age ≥75 years old. * Baseline haemoglobin \<11 g/dl (or anaemia requiring transfusion during the 4 weeks prior to randomization). * Chronic Kidney Disease with estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤ 30 ml/min. * Thrombocytopenia with platelet count \< 100 x 109 / L * Chronic bleeding diatheses: inherited or acquired conditions known to be associated with increased bleeding risk such as platelet dysfunction, von Willebrand disease (prevalence of 1%-2% in the general population), inherited or acquired clotting factor deficiencies (including factors VII, VIII \[hemophilia A\], IX \[hemophilia B\], and XI), or acquired antibodies to clotting factors, among others. * Cirrhosis with portal hypertension. * PCI after major traumatism or surgery. * Any documented stroke in the last 12 months. * Hospital admission for bleeding or transfusion within last 6 months. * Nonskin cancer diagnosed or treated ≤3 years. * Planned daily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (other than aspirin) or steroids for ≥30 days after PCI. * patient affiliated to a social security system * signed informed consent form * Women of childbearing capacity with effective contraception for the duration of the research OR man, OR woman not of childbearing capacity Exclusion Criteria: * Currently participating in any interventional investigational device or drug trial * Any prior documented intracerebral bleed * Contra-indication, known allergy or expected interactions with clopidogrel. Baseline treatment (at screening) should not include an antiplatelet therapy for which a contra-indication, known allergy or expected interactions is known (example history of stroke and use of prasugrel, or concomitant use of ticagrelor and ritonavir) * Patients on concomitant treatment with an anticoagulant agent (Vitamin-K antagonists or novel oral anticoagulants such as rivaroxaban, dabigatran or apixaban) * Planned surgery within 12 coming months * Patient under guardianship or curatorship * Pregnancy or breastfeeding * Inability to sign the informed consent form
