Trial Outcomes & Findings for NIRS Ticagrelor Evaluation (NCT NCT02282332)

NCT ID: NCT02282332

Last Updated: 2021-04-08

Results Overview

Treatment with ticagrelor following PCI will lead to significant 20% reduction in the LCBI as assessed at follow up by NIRS/IVUS when compared with baseline imaging data of the reference vessel, suggesting a reduction in inflammation and stabilization of the lipid core in atherosclerotic lesions not treated during the index procedure.

We expect to see a significant reduction of inflammatory markers of Hs-CRP, MCP-1, IL-1, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF- α as well as an increase in IL-10, a cytokine associated with a reduction in inflammation, following therapy with ticagrelor when compared with baseline values. This is expected as inflammatory markers should be lower in stable coronary artery disease compared with patients presenting with ACS. While there is no control group in the proposed study, it will be important to assess whether changes in established biomarkers associated with inflammation correlate with changes in LCBI. While ticagrelor was not shown to reduce inflammatory biomarkers to a greater degree than clopidogrel, it will be important to assess whether the reduction in LCBI is independent of or associated with reductions in inflammatory markers or platelet reactivity.
