Investigating the effects of cangrelor in patients undergoing heart procedures

PharmacOdynaMic Effects of Cangrelor in PatiEnts wIth Acute or chronIc Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (POMPEII Registry)

Federico II University · NCT04790032

This study is testing how well a drug called cangrelor works to reduce blood clotting in patients having heart procedures to see if it helps them better than other treatments.

What this trial studies

This prospective registry aims to explore the pharmacodynamic effects of cangrelor in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The study will collect blood samples and perform platelet function tests using advanced methods to assess the drug's impact on platelet reactivity. By focusing on patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes, the research seeks to identify rates and predictors of high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) when treated with cangrelor. The study will be conducted at the University Hospital of Naples Federico II, where investigators will gather clinical and demographic data alongside pharmacodynamic measurements.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients undergoing PCI who will receive cangrelor.

Not a fit: Patients who do not consent to blood or data collection will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of cangrelor's effectiveness, leading to improved treatment strategies for patients undergoing PCI.

How similar studies have performed: While there is significant interest in cangrelor's effects, this study aims to fill a gap in pharmacodynamic data, making it a novel approach.
