Sponsor's own description

In patients with heart attacks, the current standard of care is to restore blood flow through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This is done using stents (metal meshes) that opens up blockages. Following PCI, standard preventative drug treatment includes the use of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) using both aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (Ticagrelor 90 mg twice a day or Clopidogrel 75 mg once a day) for one year to prevent clotting that can result in additional heart attacks, sudden clotting of stents or death. New studies have shown that there is a benefit to continuing DAPT beyond this one year mark. Longer-term DAPT has been shown to reduce ischemic events (heart attack, stroke) but increase the risk of bleeding. Present guidelines state that the decision to continue DAPT beyond the one year mark should be made on an individualized basis. The present study is a "pilot study" that seeks to compare Long-Term use of Ticagrelor (LTT) versus a Personalized Approach (PA). We will be recruiting patients who have been stable (free of ischemic or bleeding outcomes) on DAPT for 1 year after initial presentation with a heart attack. The PA group will use a modified DAPT score based on patient demographics to decide whether treatment is warranted. Patient will also undergo bedside genetic testing to identify potential at-risk genes. Those identified as carriers will be treated with ticagrelor while non-carriers will be treated with clopidogrel. The present study will determine whether a personalized approach will decrease bleeding versus an approach of universal ticagrelor use. The hypothesis is that patients receiving a personalized strategy will have a decreased risk of bleeding.
