Efficacy and Safety of Low Dose Ticagrelor in Patients With Unstable Angina Pectoris After Coronary Stent Implantation

Phase 4
Conditions
Unstable Angina Pectoris
Coronary Stent Implantation
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03620760
Lead Sponsor
Xiaofan Wu
Brief Summary

The study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of low dose of ticagrelor therapy for Chinese unstable angina patients treated with non-urgent coronary stent implantation, to examine whether lower dose ticagrelor (45 mg twice-daily) is not inferior to standard dose (90 mg twice-daily) for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, as well as will reduce the incidence of bleeding during long-term treatment.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single center, randomized, parallel-group trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low dose ticagrelor on a background of aspirin for patients treated with non-urgent coronary stent implantation. 2036 subjects will be enrolled. All patients will receive treatment with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor for 3 months after the index procedure. At 3 months, eligible patients were then randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a standard dose ticagrelor 90 mg bid or a lower dose ticagrelor 45 mg bid in addition to aspirin 100mg. The primary efficacy end points are the event rate of the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and stroke at 24 months. The primary safety end point is the incidence of PLATO major bleeding at 24 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and major bleeding eventRandomization up to 24 months

Participants with death from vascular causes, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and stroke. Intention to treat (ITT) analysis of whole population. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.

Participants with PLATO major bleeding event including fatal bleeding, intracranial bleeding, intrapericardial bleeding with cardiac tamponade, hypovolemic shock or severe hypotension due to bleeding and requiring pressures or surgery, a decline in the hemoglobin level of 5.0 g per deciliter or more, or the need for transfusion of at least. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Any event from the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and strokeRandomization up to 24 months

Participants with any event from the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and stroke. ITT analysis of intent for invasive management population. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.

All cause deathRandomization up to 24 months

Participants with all cause death. ITT analysis of whole population. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.

PLATO-defined any bleeding eventRandomization up to 24 months

Participants with any other bleeding events (minor bleeding or minimal bleeding) as defined by the PLATO. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
