Compares treatment options for Coronary Artery Disease
Official title Aspirin and a PoTent P2Y12 Inhibitor Versus Aspirin and Clopidogrel in Patients Undergoing PCI for Complex Lesion
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04014803
What this study is testing
What is Dual antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor plus aspirin?
Dual antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor plus aspirin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for coronary artery disease.
Also referred to as Prasugrel plus Aspirin or Clopidogrel plus Aspirin.
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
- This study is a prospective, open label, two-arm, randomized multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin plus prasugrel as compared with aspirin plus clopidogrel in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stents for complex coronary lesions.
- Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
