About this trial
The OPTION2 trial (randomized controlled trial of IndObufen versus asPirin after coronary drug-eluting stent implantaTION in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome) was designed to compare the 1-year clinical efficacy and safety of indobufen-based dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (indobufen 100mg bid plus ticagrelor 90mg bid) or conventional DAPT (aspirin 100mg qd plus ticagrelor 90mg bid) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients aged over 65 years old undergoing coronary drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
