Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To determine the safety and efficacy of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel for the reduction of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel after successful implantation of coronary drug-eluting stents.

Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, investigator-initiated study with a parallel design. Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and presenting high platelet reactivity on clopidogrel as assessed with the PL-11 analyzer (platelet maximum aggregation ratio [MAR%] ≥ 55 %) at 2 hours post-clopidogrel 300mg LD (Day 0), will be randomized after informed consent, in a 1:1 ratio to the following treatment groups:
Group Α: Ticagrelor 180 mg immediate loading (on Day 0) followed by 180mg/day starting from Day 1 until Day 365 (12 months after randomization).
Group Β: Clopidogrel 150mg per day, starting from Day 1 until Day 365 (12 months after randomization).
Platelet reactivity assessment will be performed before randomization (Day 0), and 3-day after randomization (Day 3). Documentation of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, revascularization procedure with PCI or CABG) and serious adverse events (bleeding, other adverse events) will be performed until 12 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 12-Month Freedom From MACE [12 months]
Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events consist of all-cause death, target vessel myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- 12-Month Freedom From Mortality [12 months]
All-cause death
- 12-Month Freedom From Cardiac death [12 months]
Cardiac death
- 12-Month Freedom From MI [12 months]
Myocardial infarction
- 12-Month Freedom From TLR [12 months]
Target lesion revascularisation
- 12-Month Freedom From TVR [12 months]
Target vessel revascularisation
- 12-Month Freedom From Stent Thrombosis [12 months]
Stent thrombus was classified as definite, probable, or possible, according to the definitions provided by the Academic Research Consortium (ARC).Regarding timing, ST was defined as early (<30 days), late (30 days to 1 year), or too late (>1 year).
- 12-Month Freedom From Stroke [12 months]
Stroke
Other Outcome Measures
- 12-Month Freedom From BARC type 2 or above bleeding [12 months]
BARC (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) type 2 or above bleeding event following the first dose of study medication
- 12-Month Freedom From Major or minor bleeding [12 months]
Major or minor bleeding defined by TIMI (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) bleeding criteria
