About this trial
In Ease Asia clinical trials, P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or clopidogrel) monotherapy after 3-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) resulted in a lower incidence of clinically significant bleeding, without increasing risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, even if acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when compared with standard DAPT. Although better understood "East Asian Paradox", finding the right CYP2C19 genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor selection to balance maintaining ischaemic prevention and less bleeding remains a topic in real-world clinical practice.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients aged between 18-80 years old.

Patients will be treated with DAPT (P2Y12 inhibitors+aspirin) for at least 3 months.
Patients are willing to provide a DNA sample (via blood draw) for CYP2C19 genotyping.
Disqualifiers
Patient with known CYP2C19 genotype before randomization.
Anticipated discontinuation of clopidogrel or ticagrelor within the 12-month follow-up period.
Planned surgery within 90 days.
Requiring oral anticoagulation therapy (eg, atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism)

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
NACE (net adverse clinical event)
The incidence of NACE (composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel/lesion revascularization, stroke, or clinically significant bleeding according to BARC criteria).
Secondary outcomes
Incidence of clinically significant bleeding
The Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC)-defined clinically significant bleeding (type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding) as follows: Type 2: Any overt, actionable sign of hemorrhage, requiring nonsurgical, medical intervention by a healthcare professional; Leading to hospitalization or increased level of care; Prompting evaluation. Type 3: Clinical, laboratory, and/or imaging evidence of bleeding with specific healthcare provider responses. Type 3a: Overt bleeding plus hemoglobin drop of 3 to 5 g/dL; Any transfusion with overt bleeding. Type 3b: Overt bleeding plus hemoglobin drop ≥5 g/dL; Cardiac tamponade; Bleeding requiring surgical intervention for control; Bleeding requiring intravenous vasoactive agents. Type 3c: Intracranial hemorrhage; Subcategories confirmed by autopsy or imaging or lumbar puncture; Intraocular bleed compromising vision. Type 5: Fatal bleeding is bleeding that directly causes death with no other explainable cause.
Incidence of MACCE
The incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE), is composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target vessel/lesion revascularization, or stroke.
