Single vs. Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Elderly or HBR Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Intervention With DCB (PICCOLETO IV-EPIC 38)

This international, multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) compared to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in elderly or high bleeding risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the latest generation drug-coated balloon (DCB). The study includes patients with stable or unstable coronary syndromes and aims to assess rates of ischemic and bleeding adverse events.

Assessing Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Daily Enteric-coated Aspirin in Patients With StablE Diabetes II

This phase 2 study will include patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and will first study their response to enteric coated aspirin at a dose of 80 mg per day for a 7-day period. Participants with an incomplete platelet inhibition after exposure to EC aspirin at doses of 80 mg once daily will be randomized to a random order of 3 different ASA regimens: EC ASA 162 mg once daily, EC ASA 81 mg twice daily and chewable ASA 40 mg twice daily. The aims are to determine the feasibility of a larger scale trial, and to determine the regimen associated with the lowest proportion of non-responders after randomization. Platelet function will be assessed at baseline and at day 7 of each arms of the study.

Modulation of Gut MicroFLORA With Rifaximin to Reduce High Platelet Reactivity in Post-ACS Patients on Ticagrelor

The FLORA-ACS study aims to evaluate the relationship between dysbiosis and high platelet reactivity during treatment with ticagrelor in patients with a history of acute coronary syndromes and investigate the use of rifaximin to eliminate dysbiosis and thus provide effective antiplatelet treatment.

Algorithm-based Tailoring of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy to Improve Outcomes Following Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

The use of aspirin combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor (dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT) represents the standard of care for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. The TAILOR-DAPT trial aims to investigate the benefits of a score-based decision-making algorithm to guide DAPT duration compared to a standard-of-care DAPT duration without the use of risk scores in patients undergoing PCI.

ShorT and OPtimal Duration of Dual AntiPlatelet Therapy-2 Study for the Patients With ACS

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of reducing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration to 1 month after implantation of the everolimus-eluting cobalt-chromium stent (CoCr-EES) under the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
