What this phase means
Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Ticagrelor: an oral, direct-acting, reversibly binding P2Y12 receptor antagonist, or Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if treatment with ticagrelor tablets can decrease inflammation in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
They plan to enroll about 230 people at Little Rock. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Phase II Clinical Trial to Investigate the Effect of Platelet Inhibition With Ticagrelor to Reduce Inflammation and Surrogate Cardiovascular Markers in Chronic Kidney Disease
Interventions: Ticagrelor: an oral, direct-acting, reversibly binding P2Y12 receptor antagonist, Placebo
Primary outcome (registry wording): Aim 1: post-treatment IL-1β value
