Study summary

Objective: To evaluate the safety of bioresorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting Synergy® stent followed by 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy in patients at high-bleeding risk.

Study population: Real world high-bleeding risk (HBR) patients with coronary artery disease (stable as well as acute coronary syndromes) who qualify for percutaneous coronary interventions.

Study size: A total of 1023 patients will be enrolled. Study design: Prospective, single-arm, multicentre trial, powered for non-inferiority with respect to objective performance criteria (OPC).

Antiplatelet therapy: Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 100 mg od and a P2Y12 inhibitor for a duration of 1 month, after which single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin will be recommended indefinitely. In case of need for oral anticoagulation, patients will receive an oral anticoagulant in addition to a P2Y12 inhibitor without aspirin for 30 days.

Primary endpoint: Composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or definite/probable stent thrombosis at 1-year follow-up.

  7. Stroke in previous 12 months
  8. History of intracerebral hemorrhage
  9. Severe chronic liver disease
  10. Creatinine clearance \<40 ml/min
  11. Cancer in previous 3 years
  12. Planned major surgery in next 12 months
  13. Glucocorticoids or NSAID planned for >30 days after PCI
  14. Expected non-adherence to >30 days of dual antiplatelet therapy

    1023 real world high-bleeding risk (HBR) patients with coronary artery disease (stable as well as acute coronary syndromes) who qualify for percutaneous coronary interventions will be included in the study.

    Drug: Aspirin · Drug: P2Y12 inhibitor

Interventions

  • DrugAspirin

    After percutaneous coronary intervention with bioresorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting Synergy® stent implantation, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 100 mg od and a P2Y12 inhibitor will be continued for a duration of 1 month, after which single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin will be recommended indefinitely. In case of need for oral anticoagulation, patients will receive an oral anticoagulant in addition to a P2Y12 inhibitor without aspirin for 30 days.

  • DrugP2Y12 inhibitor

    After percutaneous coronary intervention with bioresorbable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting Synergy® stent implantation, dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin 100 mg od and a P2Y12 inhibitor will be continued for a duration of 1 month, after which single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin will be recommended indefinitely. In case of need for oral anticoagulation, patients will receive an oral anticoagulant in addition to a P2Y12 inhibitor without aspirin for 30 days.
