Conditions

Non ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome, Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), Unstable Angina

Keywords

acute coronary syndrome, de-escalation, prasugrel, ticagrelor

Brief summary

The PROTEUS study is a randomized, cross-over, open-label, pharmacodynamic trial designed to compare the antiplatelet effect of reduced maintenance doses of prasugrel and ticagrelor in stable patients who recently had non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina).

Interventions

DRUGDe-escalation to ticagrelor 60 mg at day 30

Change of P2Y12 receptor antagonist regimen to ticagrelor 60 mg bid at day 30.

DRUGDe-escalation to prasugrel 5 mg at day 30

Change of P2Y12 receptor antagonist regimen to prasugrel 5 mg qd at day 30.

DRUGSwitch to ticagrelor 60 mg at day 45

Switch to ticagrelor 60 mg bid at day 45.

DRUGSwitch to prasugrel 5 mg at day 45

Switch to prasugrel 5 mg qd at day 45.
