Compares treatment options for Coronary Artery Disease
Official title SAPT Versus DAPT in Incomplete Revascularization After CABG
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03789916
What this study is testing
What is Ticagrelor?
Ticagrelor is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for coronary artery disease.
Also referred to as Brilique.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to compare the efficacy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) over single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) in patients with incomplete revascularization after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Before hospital discharge, patients will be 1:1 randomized to SAPT (acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg/die) or DAPT (acetylsalicylic acid 100 mg/die + ticagrelor 90 mg bis in die).
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
