Study Summary

Patients who suffered from acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are usually treated with a long-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to reduce stent thrombosis and recurrent ischemic event. Nonetheless, recent important data have demonstrated the efficacy of a short term DAPT and an early single antiplatelet therapy in high bleeding and ischemic risk patients.

The bleeding risk is associated with a significant mortality. This risk is especially high in patients treated with potent P2Y12 inhibitors like ticagrelor or prasugrel after an ACS.

As a result of the abounding data regarding the safety of an early single antiplatelet therapy with high potency antiplatelet therapy (ticagrelor or prasugrel), it is likely that such strategy will soon be implemented in the guidelines.

The benefits of these high-potency P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel mostly occur in patients with genetic polymorphisms of CYP2Y12 associated with a loss of function in clopidogrel metabolism.

Furthermore, the anti-ischemic benefit of potent P2Y12 inhibitors over clopidogrel occurs early, while excess bleeding events often arise during chronic treatment.

Our hypothesis is that a systematic and rapid genetic screening of CYP2C90 *2 or *17 polymorphism to guide an early single therapy with low potency antiplatelet (aspirin or clopidogrel) could lead to less bleeding events with a consistent efficacy towards cardiac events compared with high potency antiplatelet therapies (prasugrel or ticagrelor) in high bleeding risk patients treated for ACS.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Being 18-year-old or older

  • Admission for type 1 acute myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI)

  • Bedside genetic testing for clopidogrel resistance that can be performed duringhospital stay for ACS (oral swab kit with result within 1 hour)

  • Treated with aspirin and ticagrelor, or aspirin and prasugrel at the screening phaseand at the randomization visit.

  • High bleeding risk as defined by the Consensus Document From the Academic ResearchConsortium for High Bleeding Risk (at least one criterion) :

  • Age ≥75 years old.

  • Baseline haemoglobin <11 g/dl (or anaemia requiring transfusion during the 4weeks prior to randomization).

  • Chronic Kidney Disease with estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤ 30 ml/min.

  • Thrombocytopenia with platelet count < 100 x 109 / L

  • Chronic bleeding diatheses: inherited or acquired conditions known to beassociated with increased bleeding risk such as platelet dysfunction, vonWillebrand disease (prevalence of 1%-2% in the general population), inheritedor acquired clotting factor deficiencies (including factors VII, VIII [hemophilia A], IX [hemophilia B], and XI), or acquired antibodies to clottingfactors, among others.

  • Cirrhosis with portal hypertension.

  • PCI after major traumatism or surgery.

  • Any documented stroke in the last 12 months.

  • Hospital admission for bleeding or transfusion within last 6 months.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Enrolled in another clinical trial except non interventional studies

  • Any prior documented intracerebral bleed

  • Contra-indication, known allergy or expected interactions with clopidogrel. Baselinetreatment (at screening) should not include an antiplatelet therapy for which acontra-indication, known allergy or expected interactions is known (example historyof stroke and use of prasugrel, or concomitant use of ticagrelor and ritonavir)

Phase: 3
Study Start date:
June 18, 2024

Study Description

Multicenter, randomized, open label trial using the PROBE study design. Randomization 1 to 3 months (preferably 1, considering the HBR) after ACS into 2 parallel arms. Stratification: according to revascularization status (PCI or no PCI), genotype (loss of function, fast metabolization, none) and center.
