NCT01538446

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of a strategy of platelet monitoring (Monitoring Arm) with down-adjustment of the dose of prasugrel in high responders and up-adjustment of the dose of prasugrel in low responders as compared to a more conventional strategy of a fixed dose of 5 mg to every patient without monitoring (Conventional Arm) as measured by a reduction in the composite endpoint of, cardiovascular (CV) death, myocardial infarction (MI) , stroke, stent thrombosis (ARC definition type "definite"), urgent revascularisation or bleeding (BARC definition type 2, 3 or 5).

Study Arms (2)

1: Monitoring Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Monitoring Arm: dose adjustment of prasugrel with down-adjustment of the dose of prasugrel in high responders and up-adjustment of the dose of prasugrel in low responders

Drug: Modification of Prasugrel based on a biological assayDevice: Verify Now

2: Conventional Arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional Arm: fixed dose of prasugrel 5 mg

Drug: prasugrel / clopidogrel

Interventions

Monitoring with VerifyNow P2Y12, 2 weeks after initiation of 5 mg of maintenance dose of prasugrel, reduction of antiplatelet therapy if there is high on-treatment platelet inhibition (HPI) or increase in dosing if there is high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) Device: VerifyNow point of care assay VerifyNow (ACCUMETRICS San Diego USA)
