To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Randomised controlled trial comparing intravenous lignocaine to intravenous fentanyl in patients requiring periprocedural analgesia for percutaneous coronary intervention to evaluate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic impact on ticagrelor. The angiogram and coronary stent insertion procedure typically lasts 1-1.5 hours. The intervention will be administered by cath lab nursing staff.
Treatment arm:
- Lignocaine 1mg/kg (maximum dose 100mg) will be given as a intravenous (IV) bolus at the start of the angiogram procedure after time-out is completed
- During the case, if analgesia is required a further bolus of 0.5mg/kg IV will be given at least 15 minutes after previous dose.
- If satisfactory analgesia is not achieved then patient will crossover to fentanyl arm
- Total lignocaine dose will be recorded

Ticagrelor will be given as a 180mg oral tablet loading dose with 250ml of water at the end of the coronary stent procedure in both arms.
Intervention code [1] 314118 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Intravenous fentanyl will be used as the control treatment as this is standard peri-procedural analgesia currently. It will be given at the start of the angiogram procedure after time-out is completed. The angiogram and coronary stent insertion procedure typically takes 1-1.5 hours. The control treatment will be administered by cath lab nursing staff.
Dose:
- If under 70 years of age 0.75mcg/kg of Fentanyl IV will be given at the start of the case. If >70 years of age 0.5mcg/kg will be given at the start of the case.
- Further IV fentanyl boluses can be given at the discretion of the interventional cardiologist if further analgesia is required during the case
- Fentanyl IV 0.5mcg/kg mcg will be given at the end of the case at the time of administration of ticagrelor.
Ticagrelor will be given as a 180mg oral tablet loading dose with 250ml of water at the end of the coronary stent procedure in both arms.

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size calculation was performed based on previous pharmacodynamic data demonstrating a 25-50% reduction in the antiplatelet effects of clopidogrel with concomitant morphine administration using aggregometry assays. We calculated that 35 patients in each group would be required to identify a 20% reduction in ticagrelor’s antiplatelet effects to obtain a power of 80%, assuming a two-sided alpha of 0.05.

Continuous variables will be compared between both study arms with Student’s t-test and Mann–Whitney U test, depending on the presence or absence of the normal distribution (as assessed by the Shapiro-Wilk test). Comparisons between categorical variables were will be performed using Fisher’s exact test. Two sided p values <0.05 will be considered significant.
