NCT06742931

Brief Summary

A prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled, and superiority trial. The trial will compare clinical outcomes between discontinuation of antiplatelet agent and continuation of antiplatelet agent in HBR patients with chronic coronary syndrome treated by DCB angioplasty and standard duration of DAPT, followed by maintenance of single antiplatelet agent without clinical event for at least 1 year from the index procedure.

Study Arms (2)

Discontinuation of antiplatelet agent group

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group, antiplatelet monotherapy will be discontinued at the time of randomization. Randomization will be performed at 1 year from the index procedure using DCB angioplasty, standard duration of DAPT (1-3 months), and maintenance of antiplatelet monotherapy at least 1 year from the index procedure in patients with HBR and chronic coronary syndrome. In patients who are still under DAPT at 1 year from index DCB angioplasty, all antiplatelet agents will be discontinued after randomization.

Other: Discontinuation of antiplatelet agent group

Continuation of antiplatelet agent group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In this group, lifelong antiplatelet monotherapy will be continued after the time of randomization. Randomization will be performed at 1 year from the index procedure using DCB angioplasty, standard duration of DAPT (1-3 months), and maintenance of antiplatelet monotherapy at least 1 year from the index procedure in patients with HBR and chronic coronary syndrome. In patients who are still under DAPT at 1 year from index DCB angioplasty, DAPT will be changed to single antiplatelet therapy (aspirin or clopidogrel). The choice between aspirin or clopidogrel will be determined by the physician's discretion.

Other: Continuation of antiplatelet agent group

Hematological disorders (platelet count \<100,000/mm3 or any coagulation disorder) J. Severe chronic liver disease defined as patients who have developed any of the following: variceal hemorrhage, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy or jaundice K. Expected non-compliance to secondary prevention medications after PCI for other medical reasons
  • Patients who completed standard duration of DAPT (1-3months) and followed by maintenance of single antiplatelet agent (aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor) for at least 1 year from index procedure.
