Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label trial with blinded endpoint adjudication (PROBE design), comparing one-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with low-dose ticagrelor (60 mg BID) followed by ticagrelor monotherapy to standard 6-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary endpoint is a composite of cardiovascular death, all-cause death, myocardial infarction, disabling stroke, target lesion revascularization (TLR), and major bleeding. The study aims to evaluate whether the short DAPT strategy reduces ischemic events while maintaining bleeding safety.

Conditions

  • Chronic Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

DRUG

Ticagrelor 60 mg

Patients in this arm will receive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of low-dose ticagrelor (60 mg twice daily) plus aspirin (75-100 mg once daily) for 1 month, followed by ticagrelor 60 mg monotherapy for 5 additional months (total 6 months of therapy). This strategy aims to reduce ischemic events while minimizing bleeding risk by leveraging the potent antiplatelet effect of ticagrelor at a lower maintenance dose.

DRUG

clopidogrel 75 mg

Patients in the control group will receive standard DAPT consisting of clopidogrel 75 mg once daily plus aspirin 75-100 mg once daily for 6 months. This represents the current standard of care in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents.
