Comparison of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy De-escalation by Dose Reduction Versus Switching in Patients Undergoing PCI: The Switching Antiplatelet-8 (SWAP-8) Study

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with low-dose aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is the current standard of care in patients with coronary artery disease experiencing an acute event or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the ischemic benefits are counterbalanced by a significant increase in bleeding events. Over time, different DAPT de-escalation strategies have been developed to reduce the bleeding risk while maintaining the ischemic protection, but there is currently no head-to-head comparison between them. The purpose of this clinical trial is to conduct a head-to-head comparison on the pharmacodynamic efficacy of DAPT de-escalation by dose reduction to low-dose prasugrel (5 mg od) and DAPT de-escation by switching from standard-dose more potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor to standard-dose clopidogrel (75 mg). To determine if the PD profiles of these two strategies are comparable, we aim to conduct a non-inferiority study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Patients who have undergone PCI and are on maintenance treatment with DAPT, consisting of low-dose aspirin with either prasugrel (10 mg qd) or ticagrelor (90 mg bid) as part of standard of care. In particular, patients who underwent PCI in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome will be eligible for randomization after ≥90 days post-PCI, while patients who underwent PCI in the setting of a chronic coronary syndrome ≥30 days post-PCI.
  2. 2. Age ≥18 years.
  3. 3. Provide written informed consent.
  1. 1. Prior history of stent thrombosis
  2. 2. Prior cerebrovascular event
  3. 3. PCI within 30 days
  4. 4. Predicted poor metabolizer of clopidogrel based on CYP2C19 genotyping (e.g., \*2/\*2 or \*3/\*3),
  5. 5. On treatment with any oral anticoagulant (vitamin K antagonists, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) or chronic low-molecular-weight heparin (at venous thrombosis treatment, not for prophylaxis)
  6. 6. Hemodynamic instability
  7. 7. Hypersensitivity to Aspirin, Clopidogrel, or Prasugrel
  8. 8. Known hematologic malignancies or thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<80x106/mL)
  9. 9. Known hemoglobinopathies or anemia (hemoglobin \<9 g/dL)
  10. 10. Pregnant and breastfeeding women \[women of childbearing age must use reliable birth control (i.e., oral contraceptives) while participating in the study\].
