Official title Highest Efficacy of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Carotid Artery Stenting in High Bleeding Risk Patients

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06276374

What this study is testing

What is Intervention 1(DAPT): Drug: Aspirin 100mg + Clopidogrel 75mg. Intervention 2(SAPT): Drug: Asprin 100mg or Clopidogrel 75mg?

Intervention 1(DAPT): Drug: Aspirin 100mg + Clopidogrel 75mg. Intervention 2(SAPT): Drug: Asprin 100mg or Clopidogrel 75mg is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily treatment applied to the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for carotid artery diseases.

Also referred to as Aspirin and,or Clopidogrel.

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 optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) has not been established in randomized controlled trials. Current practice largely extrapolates from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) trials, but anatomical and procedural differences between coronary and carotid arteries limit the validity of this approach.
