Am Heart JPublished

  • investigator-initiated, multicenter, open-label, randomized, superiority study
  • design and rationale (trial protocol)
  • 1:1 randomization

Study context

Population
Patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) (estimated glomerular filtration rate <45 mL/min/1.73 m²) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contemporary drug-eluting stentsplanned enrolment
Participants
900 patients
Planned comparison
abbreviated vs a standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) strategy
Primary endpoint
net adverse clinical events:
  • Composite of all-cause death
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Stent thrombosis
  • Stroke
  • Major bleeding according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria
Follow-up
1 year
