Indobufen-based dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with multivessel coronary disease undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation insight from the OPTION trial

Am Heart JPublished Secondary analysis of the OPTION randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In patients with MVD, indobufen plus clopidogrel DAPT compared to aspirin plus clopidogrel DAPT could reduce the risk of bleeding events while preserving ischemic protection during both the first and second 6 months post-PCI.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing DES implantation (PCI) in the OPTION trial, with and without multivessel coronary disease (MVD)
Comparison
Indobufen-based dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) vs conventional DAPT
Primary endpoint
Ischemic and bleeding events
Follow-up
First and second 6 months post-PCI (landmarks at 6 months and 1 year)
Methodological detailssubgroup analysis by MVD, landmark analysis at 6 months
  • Subgroup analysis by MVD
  • Landmark analysis at 6 months

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

first and second 6 months post-PCI
  • Ischemic events similar with indobufen-based vs conventional DAPT, with or without MVD, in the first and second 6 months
  • First 6 months: indobufen-based DAPT reduced bleeding events consistently with and without MVD
  • Second 6 months: indobufen-based DAPT reduced bleeding events with MVD but not without MVD

Further findings

MVD vs no MVD (prognosis)

Patients with MVD at higher risk of net adverse clinical events and ischemic events than those without MVD
