The Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Study (DAPT Study)

A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind Trial to Assess the Effectiveness and Safety of 12 Versus 30 Months of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Subjects Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Either Drug-eluting Stent or Bare Metal Stent Placement for the Treatment of Coronary Artery Lesions

Brief summary

The DAPT Study is a double blind randomized controlled trial intended to determine the appropriate duration for dual antiplatelet therapy (the combination of aspirin and a second anti-clotting medication) as well as the safety and effectiveness of dual antiplatelet therapy to protect patients from stent thrombosis and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) following the implantation of drug-eluting coronary stents. Similar analysis will be conducted in a smaller cohort of bare metal coronary stent - treated subjects.

Detailed description

Subjects with ischemic heart disease due to stenotic lesions in either native coronary arteries or coronary artery bypass grafts undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement and no contraindications to prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy are eligible to be enrolled in the study. All enrolled subjects will undergo PCI with stent placement. All enrolled subjects will be treated with either an FDA-approved drug eluting stent(s) (DES) or an FDA-approved bare metal stent(s) (BMS) (per their respective Instructions for Use) and assigned to 12 months of open label FDA-approved thienopyridine treatment in addition to aspirin. Operators will select the thienopyridine according to the package insert. Thienopyridine treatment dose will be according to the standard of practice and prescribing information for the selected medication. Aspirin treatment will be 75-325 mg for the first 6 months after the procedure and 75-162 mg subsequently, to be continued indefinitely. All DES or BMS subjects who are treated with 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy post index procedure and who are event free per protocol will be eligible for randomization to either placebo (12 m DAPT Study arm) or an additional 18 months of thienopyridine treatment (30 m DAPT Study arm). Both arms will continue aspirin therapy. Up to four (4) separate post-market approval studies will be allowed to incorporate the randomized design of the DAPT Study for a subset of subjects who may then be contributed for the DAPT Study analyses.

Outcome results

Primary

Definite or Probable Stent Thrombosis (ST) - Randomized DES ITT

The coprimary efficacy endpoints were the cumulative incidence of MACCE and the cumulative incidence of definite or probable ST within randomized DES ITT patients between 12 and 30 months post procedure. ST was assessed according to the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) definitions.

Time frame: 18 months (12-30 months post-index procedure)

Population: All randomized DES ITT patients; Patients were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized (regardless of post-randomization compliance with the randomized treatment); Patients not experiencing the endpoint were censored at 30 months or at last known follow-up, whichever was earlier.

Comparison: The primary efficacy analysis was a superiority analysis. We controlled the two-sided family-wise error rate of 0.05 across the two coprimary end points using the Hochberg-Benjamini method. With this method, the null hypothesis of randomized treatment equivalence is rejected if significance is achieved for both end points at a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 or for one end point at a two-sided alpha level of 0.025.p-value: <0.00195% CI: [0.17, 0.48]Log Rank
