Brief summary

The study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of low dose of ticagrelor therapy for Chinese unstable angina patients treated with non-urgent coronary stent implantation, to examine whether lower dose ticagrelor (45 mg twice-daily) is not inferior to standard dose (90 mg twice-daily) for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, as well as will reduce the incidence of bleeding during long-term treatment.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, single center, randomized, parallel-group trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low dose ticagrelor on a background of aspirin for patients treated with non-urgent coronary stent implantation. 2036 subjects will be enrolled. All patients will receive treatment with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor for 3 months after the index procedure. At 3 months, eligible patients were then randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a standard dose ticagrelor 90 mg bid or a lower dose ticagrelor 45 mg bid in addition to aspirin 100mg. The primary efficacy end points are the event rate of the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and stroke at 24 months. The primary safety end point is the incidence of PLATO major bleeding at 24 months.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) and major bleeding eventRandomization up to 24 monthsParticipants with death from vascular causes, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and stroke. Intention to treat (ITT) analysis of whole population. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee. Participants with PLATO major bleeding event including fatal bleeding, intracranial bleeding, intrapericardial bleeding with cardiac tamponade, hypovolemic shock or severe hypotension due to bleeding and requiring pressures or surgery, a decline in the hemoglobin level of 5.0 g per deciliter or more, or the need for transfusion of at least. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Any event from the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and strokeRandomization up to 24 monthsParticipants with any event from the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, stent thrombosis, coronary revascularization and stroke. ITT analysis of intent for invasive management population. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
All cause deathRandomization up to 24 monthsParticipants with all cause death. ITT analysis of whole population. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
PLATO-defined any bleeding eventRandomization up to 24 monthsParticipants with any other bleeding events (minor bleeding or minimal bleeding) as defined by the PLATO. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
PLATO-defined any minor bleeding eventRandomization up to 24 monthsTo compare two intensities of ticagrelor therapy on minor bleeding event as any bleeding requiring medical intervention but not meeting the criteria for major bleeding. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
PLATO-defined any minimal bleeding eventRandomization up to 24 monthsTo compare two intensities of ticagrelor therapy on minimal bleeding event as all other bleeding (eg, bruising, bleeding gums, oozing from injection site) not requiring intervention or treatment. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
Other adverse eventsRandomization up to 24 monthsTo compare two intensities of ticagrelor therapy on other adverse events including dyspnea or bradyarrhythmia. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
Experiment examinationRandomization up to 24 monthsTo compare two intensities of ticagrelor therapy on increase of serum uric acid or creatinine. Events were adjudicated by an endpoint committee.
