A Phase 4 interventional study of aspirin 50 mg once daily (one 50 mg aspirin tablet plus one matching placebo tablet) plus ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily and aspirin 100 mg once daily (two 50 mg aspirin tablets) plus ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), sponsored by Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-03.

Study summary

The study aims to optimize the dual antiplatelet therapy regimen for patients with STEMI after PCI, focusing on addressing the following key technical challenges: establishing an effectiveness evaluation system for a low-dose aspirin (50mg/day) antithrombotic treatment strategy based on ticagrelor, including the formulation of a scientific non-inferiority margin, assessment criteria, and composite endpoint determination standards; constructing a strict risk assessment system for major bleeding events, including bleeding event grading based on BARC standards and a blind evaluation process by an independent endpoint event adjudication committee; and developing a quality control system for multicenter clinical research to ensure patient follow-up compliance and data reliability. By solving the above technical challenges, the study provides evidence-based medical support and technical support for optimizing the antithrombotic treatment regimen for STEMI patients after PCI.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary Endpoint 1 (composite ischemic events for non-inferiority testing)

    Primary Endpoint 1 (composite ischemic events for non-inferiority testing) includes all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and urgent/ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Primary Endpoint 2 (bleeding events for superiority testing)

    Secondary endpoints at 12 months include individual components of the composite ischemic endpoint, stent thrombosis, and safety endpoints comprising BARC type 2-5 bleeding events, GUSTO mild, moderate, and severe/life-threatening bleeding, and non-CABG-related minimal, minor, and major bleeding

    Time frame: 12 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jan 2025; primary completion for Dec 2026, 23 months later.

Of 36 non-industry phase 4 interventional studies under ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 74. This study's planned 23 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 39 studies reached it within 32 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 74.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 3, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
