Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The rate of patients who achieve PRU value <208 after 12 weeks.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Epidemiological classification by DAPT score. 2. PRU value by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism at STEP 1. 3. Change in PRU value after 12 weeks. 4. Change in PRU value by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism after 12 weeks. 5. Change in platelet-derived microparticle after 12 weeks.* 6. Incidence of bleeding and cardiovascular events. 7. Platelet-derived microparticle by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism.* 8. Change in cytokines, such as inflammatory markers, by Bio-Plex.* 9. Change in activity of accumulated FDG (Fluoro-deoxyglucose) by PET/CT.* *Only applicable to study participants in Kurume University Hospital
