Conditions
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
Change of P2Y12 receptor antagonist regimen to ticagrelor 60 mg bid at day 30.
Change of P2Y12 receptor antagonist regimen to prasugrel 5 mg qd at day 30.
Switch to ticagrelor 60 mg bid at day 45.
Switch to prasugrel 5 mg qd at day 45.
