Primary Endpoint
- Net adverse clinical events (NACE) defined as a composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, stroke or major bleeding.
- Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as a composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, stroke or major bleeding.
- Major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding (MCB), defined as BARC 2, 3 or 5 bleeding.
Result
NACE
Abbreviated DAPT is non-inferior to standard DAPT in terms of NACE
MACCE
Abbreviated DAPT is non-inferior to standard DAPT in terms of MACCE
Complex HR 1.24, 95% CI 0.79-1.92; p=0.35
Not Complex HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.69- 1.21; p=0.52
Not Complex HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.69- 1.21; p=0.52
Conclusion
In HBR patients who had undergone implantation of Ultimaster™ stent, regardless of PCI-complexity, the discontinuation of DAPT at a median of 34 days compared with continuation of treatment for a median of 193 days after PCI was consistently associated with:
- Similar rates of net adverse clinical events(NACE) and major adverse cardiac or cerebral events(MACCE)
- A lower rate of major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding
Trial Limitations
- Open label study.
- Randomization was not stratified based on PCI complexity. The absence of a universally accepted definition for complex PCI is notable.
- The results may not apply to patients not treated with UltimasterTM biodegradable-polymer sirolimus eluting stents.
- The type of monotherapy after discontinuing dual antiplatelet therapy was at discretion of the treating physicians.
