About this trial

1. Main objective Among patients with elevated Lp(a) levels (\>30mg/dL) who did not experience cardiovascular events or BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding within 12 months after PCI and DES implantation, was it possible to reduce the primary adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (a composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke) by extending the duration of DAPT (24 months) compared to the standard duration (12 months)? (Efficacy test) 2. Secondary Objectives Key secondary research objective: Among patients with elevated Lp(a) levels (\> 30mg/dL) who underwent PCI and received DES implantation within 12 months after the procedure, and who did not experience cardiovascular events or BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding, whether extending the DAPT duration (24 months) compared to the standard DAPT duration (12 months) does not result in an increase in clinical net adverse events (a composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding) compared to the standard DAPT duration. (Non-inferiority test) Other secondary research objectives: To evaluate the differences in the incidence of the composite endpoint consisting of BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding (the primary safety endpoint) between extending the DAPT duration (24 months) and the standard DAPT duration (12 months); the differences in the incidence of the composite endpoint consisting of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of the composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death and myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of stent thrombosis; the differences in the incidence of any myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of target vessel myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of stroke; the differences in the incidence of ischemic stroke; the differences in the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke; the differences in the incidence of cardiovascular death; the differences in the incidence of all-cause death; the differences in the incidence of repeat revascularization; the differences in the incidence of target vessel revascularization; the differences in the incidence of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding; the differences in the incidence of any bleeding.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or nonpregnant female between 18-75 years;

Subjects with Lp(a) levels > 30mg/dL before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI);

PCI procedure with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation and no cardiovascular events or BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding events occurring within 12 months after the procedure

Subjects (or legal guardian) understand the trial requirements and the treatment procedures and provides written informed;

Disqualifiers

Subjects with Lp(a) < 30mg/dL or Lp(a) level unavailable before PCI;

Subjects who experience adverse cardiovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, repeat coronary revascularization, or Bleeding Academic Research Consortium [BARC] type 2, 3 or 5 bleeding) within 1-year after PCI;

BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding occurred before PCI

Unable to tolerate DAPT therapy or anticoagulant therapy at the same time, long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is required Or glucocorticoids;

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 24 Months DAPT

    Procedure/Surgery

    All subjects will receive co-administration of aspirin (100 mg/day) and clopidogrel (75 mg/day) for 12 months after randomization. The DAPT will last for 24 months after PCI.

  • 12 Months DAPT

    Procedure/Surgery

    All the subjects will receive aspirin (100 mg/day) + a placebo that is exactly the same in size, color, smell, taste and appearance as clopidogrel for 12 months after randomization. The DAPT will last for 12 months after PCI.
