Study Design

MASTER DAPT Trial

 

 

Complex PCI Definition

 

 

Procedural Characteristics: Complex PCI Criteria

 

 

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

Complex HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.69- 1.52; p=0.90  
Not Complex HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.71- 1.15; P=0.42

 

 

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

Major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding

Abbreviated DAPT is non-inferior to standard DAPT in terms of MACCE

Complex HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.42-0.98; p=0.04  
Not Complex HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.55- 0.89; p=0.00

 

 

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.
