Brief summary

It is a multi-center randomized clinical trial (RCT) which will enroll 3746 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) concomitant non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and undergoing new generation drug eluting stent (DES) implantation at 70 centers nationwide in China and contains two sub-studies. In the OPTIMA-3 sub-study, 2274 subjects who choose warfarin as anticoagulant will randomly receive triple antithrombotic therapy (warfarin with targeted INR 2.0-3.0, clopidogrel 75 mg od and aspirin 100 mg od) for 1 month or 6 months in a 1:1 ratio then quit aspirin till 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary endpoint of the OPTIMA-3 is a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, systemic thromboembolism and unplanned revascularization up to 12 months; the major secondary endpoint is the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB). In the OPTIMA-4 sub-study, 1472 subjects who prefer dabigatran will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a dual antithrombotic therapy of dabigatran 110 mg twice daily with ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily or with clopidogrel 75 mg od for 12 months after PCI. The primary safety endpoint of the OPTIMA-4 is ISTH major bleeding or CRNMB at 12 months; the primary efficacy endpoint is a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, systemic thromboembolism and unplanned revascularization. Other secondary endpoints comprise death (cardiovascular, non- cardiovascular), MI (fatal or non-fatal, Q-wave or non-Q-wave), unplanned revascularization (target or non-target vessel, target or non-target lesion), stent thrombosis (possible, probable, definite), stroke (hemorrhage or ischemic), all bleeding (ISTH and BARC criteria) and net adverse events. All endpoints will be collected and compared between subgroups and sub-studies during hospitalization and in 1 month (± 7 days), 6 months (± 7 days) and 12 months (± 7 days) for office visits and in 2 weeks (± 7 days), 2 months (± 7 days) and 3 months (± 7 days) for phone call visits.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Arachidonic acid (AA, final concentration 1 mmol/L) induced platelet aggregation (PLAA)The venous blood will be collected at 7:30 a.m. on the day of discharge and tested within 2 hours.The PLAA will be detected by light transmission aggregometry (LTA) to reflect platelet function under the treatment of aspirin.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)The venous blood will be collected at any time during hospitalization and detected after stored below -80℃ for at most 5 years.The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to the antithrombotic agents used in different groups will be detected as follows: (1) clopidogrel-related SNPs: CYP2C19 (rs12248560, rs28399504, rs41291556, rs4244285, rs4986893, rs5633701, rs72552267, rs72558186); (2) ticagrelor-related SNPs: SLCO1B1 (rs113681054), OATP1B1 (rs4149056), CYP3A4 (rs62471956, rs56324128), UGT2B7 (rs61361928); (3) dabigatran-related SNP: ABCB1 (rs4148738, rs1045642), CES1 (rs8192935).
Trough concentration of dabigatran (Cmin)The venous blood will be collected at 0.5 hour before dosing after the patients taking at least 3 days of dabigatran and detected after stored below -80℃ for at most 2 months.The trough concentration of dabigatran (Cmin) of dabigatran is to be detected by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) in OPTIMA-4 trial.
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP, final concentration 5 μmol/L) induced platelet aggregation (PLADP)The venous blood will be collected at 7:30 a.m. on the day of discharge and tested within 2 hours.The PLADP will be detected by light transmission aggregometry (LTA) to reflect platelet function under the treatment of clopidogrel or ticagrelor.
