Official title
An Open Label, Randomized Study to Determine the Rate of Cardiovascular Events at 1 yr for Patients With Elevated Troponins Post Major Non-cardiac Surgery and the Impact of Ticagrelor vs Aspirin on the Occurrence of Cardiovascular Events
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this pilot study is to establish the rate of cardiovascular events in patients with elevated troponins levels after major, non-cardiac surgery and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FDA approved study drug (ticagrelor) compared to aspirin in these patients. Data from current studies suggest that myocardial injury detected by minor elevations in troponin levels within 3 days after non-cardiac surgery may occur in 10-24% of patients and is associated with an increased risk of mortality at 30 days and 1 year. There are no current guidelines for care of patients with elevated troponin levels in the absence of acute coronary syndrome. This study will assess if the increased risk of these patients is modifiable by an anti-platelet medication and evaluate the safety of this medication. Patients will be randomized in an open label fashion to receive ticagrelor (anti-platelet medication) or 81 mg. aspirin. Patients will be followed on study treatment for 12 months, with the last contact at one month post treatment discontinuation.
