Personalization of Long-Term Antiplatelet Therapy - RAPID EXTEND

Phase 4

Suspended

• Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease; Myocardial Infarction

• Registration Number: NCT03729401
• Lead Sponsor: Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation

Brief Summary

In patients after myocardial infarction (MI) (heart attacks) and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), the current standard is dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), with aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, for 1 year of treatment. At 1 year, there are several options including: i) Ongoing DAPT (with aspirin and ticagrelor), ii) Selective treatment use of a P2Y12 inhibitor based on risk profiles.

This study is a pilot vanguard study to evaluate several strategies for choosing anti-platelet regimen among patients post MI and PCI at 1 year.

Detailed Description

The present study is a pilot/vanguard 3-arm study that seeks to compare 3 possible strategies for patients that are 1 year post MI and PCI. The 3 randomized groups include: i) aspirin and ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily, ii) monotherapy with ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily and iii) a personalized arm (PA), where patients will get selective therapy based on demographic and genetic risks.

The PA group will use a modified DAPT score based on patient demographics to decide whether P2Y12 treatment is warranted. For those patients where treatment is warranted, a bedside genetic test will be used to determine whether they are carriers of at-risk genotypes, which put them at risk for under-responsiveness to clopidogrel (one of the specific P2Y12 inhibitors). Those identified as carriers will be treated with ticagrelor while non-carriers will be treated with clopidogrel.

The study will act as a vanguard study to prove feasibility of enrollment and document overall bleeding rates. The long-term goal of the study is determine whether a personalized approach will decrease bleeding versus an approach of DAPT with ticagrelor and versus an approach with ticagrelor monotherapy.
