A Randomized Comparison of TAILOReD Anti-Platelet Therapy According to Platelet Reactivity Versus Uniform Clopidogrel Monotherapy Beyond 12 Months After Drug-eluting Stent Implantation in High-risk Patients: TAILOR-DAPT

This study will randomly assign eligible participants who underwent drug-eluting stent placement and have maintained the standard antiplatelet therapy for 12 months to either a control group or an intervention group. The control group will continue receiving clopidogrel monotherapy for 24 months regardless of their PRU (platelet reactivity unit) values. The intervention group will receive personalized antiplatelet therapy based on their PRU values: for non-HPR patients (PRU<208), clopidogrel monotherapy will be continued; for HPR patients (PRU≥208), dual antiplatelet therapy will be prescribed based on clinical diagnosis at the time of stent implantation and individual patients' ischemic/bleeding risk profiles. Patients (≥50 years) who presented with acute myocardial infarction at the time of coronary intervention, and have high-risk characteristics (① ≥65 years ② multi-vessel disease ③ diabetes mellitus ④ chronic kidney disease ⑤ recurrent myocardial infarction) will receive ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily with aspirin, whereas the remainder will receive clopidogrel with aspirin. For high-bleeding-risk patients with two or more major bleeding risk factors according to ARC-HBR, the investigator may consider early discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy or de-escalation therapy like aspirin monotherapy based on the patient's risk profile. The treatment assignment ratio is 1:1. The study period will be up to 24 months from the time of randomization.
