Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the effects of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel on the clinical outcomes of patients with covid-19 who undergo coronary angioplasty (percutaneous coronary interventions) with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
Design
The study is a single-blind, randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups, where the number of patients in each group is 100. Random function is used in Excel software for randomization.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted in 501 AJA hospital. Patients presenting with acute MI who are also suffering from covid will be randomly divided into two groups, one group will receive Ticagrelor and the other group will receive Clopidogrel. The rest of the standard treatments will be prescribed in the same way for all patients. During the study, the patients will be informed about the drug category used, but the project manager is not aware of the type of drug prescribed. (The type of drug prescribed will be delivered to them in the form of A, B)
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Over 18 years of age, diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (with or without ST-segment elevation), concomitant Covid-19 infection Exclusion criteria: under 18 years of age, severe heart, kidney, or liver failure, pregnancy or suspicion of pregnancy, history of malignancy, simultaneous use of anticoagulants, administration of intravenous antiviral drugs in the same admission.
Intervention groups
As a P2Y12 inhibitor drug, in the intervention group, Ticagrelor drug in the dose of 180 mg as a loading dose, and then 90 mg every 12 hours will be prescribed as a daily maintenance dose. In the control group, 600 mg of Clopidogrel is prescribed as a loading dose, and then 75 mg every 24 hours as a daily maintenance dose.
