Short-term Dual Anti Platelet Therapy in Patients With ACS Treated With the COMBO Dual-therapy Stent (REDUCE)

Randomized Evaluation of Short-term DUal Anti Platelet Therapy in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Treated With the COMBO Dual-therapy stEnt

Background:

The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy in ACS patients treated with DES is still under debate. This is especially true for STEMI patients in the era of new anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. Yet, the potential benefits of longterm dual antiplatelet therapy in avoiding thrombotic complications may be clearly counterbalanced by a higher risk of major bleeding complications. In particular, the COMBO dual therapy stent, being associated with early re-endothelization, may allow for a reduction of the duration of DAPT (dual anti plateled therapy) without increasing the thrombotic risk, while reducing the risk of severe bleeding complications.

Study Objective:

Aim of the current study is to demonstrate a non-inferiority of a strategy of short-term DAPT (90 days) as compared to standard 360 days DAPT in ACS patients treated with Combo stent.

Study Design:

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, investigator-initiated study designed to enroll 1500 patients with ACS receiving a COMBO dual-therapy stent who will be randomized 1:1 to either short term (90 days) or to standard (360 days) DAPT. Patients will be randomized within hospitalization (before discharge in case additional revascularization is deemed necessary and performed during hospitalization). Clinical visit is scheduled at 90, and 360 days, whereas a telephone contact will be performed at 180 and 720 days.

Patient Population:

The study population will consist of up to 1500 ACS patients (male and female) older than 18 years amenable to percutaneous treatment and treated with a COMBO stent. Subjects must meet all of the eligibility criteria and provide written informed consent.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Acute Coronary Syndrome
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Treatment 360 days DAPT; Drug: Treatment 90 days DAPT

Detailed Description

Study sites:

Up to 40 investigational sites in Europe and Asia

Patients follow-up:

Follow-up (clinic) visits are scheduled at 90 and 360 days, whereas a telephone contact will be performed at 180 and 720 days. Patients randomized to short-term DAPT will continue on monotherapy with ASA after 90 days unless contraindicated.

Antiplatelet therapy:

Subjects will be treated with Aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor. Prasugrel (10 mg/day) or Ticagrelor (180 mg/day) are strongly recommended as compared to Clopidogrel (75 mg/day)). Long term DAPT arm: will continue DAPT with P2Y12 inhibitors and ASA up to 360 days, after which patients will continue on monotherapy with ASA only, unless contraindications for ASA emerge Short term DAPT arm: will continue DAPT with P2Y12 inhibitors and ASA up to 90 days, after which patients will continue.

3. Planned need for concomitant cardiac surgery (e.g., valve surgery or resection of aortic or left ventricular aneurysm etc.)
4. Planned intervention of another lesion (target vessel or non-target vessel) after index hospital discharge
5. Any revascularization performed within index hospitalization with other stents than COMBO
6. Potential for non-compliance towards the requirements in the trial protocol (especially the medical treatment) or follow-up visits
