EDUCATE: The MEDTRONIC Endeavor Drug Eluting Stenting: Understanding Care, Antiplatelet Agents and Thrombotic Events

EDUCATE: a Prospective, Multi-center Study Designed to Collect Real-world Safety and Clinical Outcomes in Subjects Receiving One or More Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Stents and Either Clopidogrel and Aspirin or Prasugrel and Aspirin as Part of a Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) Drug Regimen

Brief summary

EDUCATE is a prospective, multi-center study designed to collect real-world safety and clinical outcomes in subjects receiving one or more Endeavor Zotarolimus-Eluting Stents and either clopidogrel and aspirin or prasugrel and aspirin as part of a dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) drug regimen.

Detailed description

To provide clinical information on rates of late and very late stent thrombosis after Endeavor Drug-eluting Stent (DES)placement in an all comers population with a broad range of bleeding and thrombosis risk. EDUCATE will further analyze the current practice of clinicians regarding temporary cessation of antiplatelet therapy and its association with clinical outcomes. In addition, patients included in this broad Endeavor registry will also be contributed to the DAPT native study population for analysis of 12 vs 30 months duration of dual antiplatelet therapy.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Placebo Arm
Subjects without death, MI, stroke, repeat coronary revascularization, major bleeding or stent thrombosis in the first 12 months. These subjects are randomized to receive 18 months of placebo thienopyridine and aspirin (ASA). Placebo (12-Month Arm): Placebo ASA: 75 mg - 325 mg Aspirin(ASA)

Thienopyridine Therapy
Subjects without death, MI, stroke, repeat coronary revascularization, major bleeding or stent thrombosis in the first 12 months. These subjects are randomized to receive 18 months of active thienopyridine and aspirin (ASA).
