Trial Outcomes & Findings for Crushed Ticagrelor Versus Eptifibatide Bolus + Clopidogrel (NCT NCT02925923)

NCT ID: NCT02925923

Last Updated: 2020-05-04

Results Overview

We assessed platelet aggregation at baseline and during PCI by light transmission aggregomerty. The primary efficacy measure was HPR defined as platelet aggregation \>59% at 2 h measured by the Chronlog aggregometer after stimulation with ADP 20 µM.
