Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor or adjusted-dose prasugrel has been used for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, few studies have directly compared these two drugs. In this study, we compared the real-world applications and outcomes of these two drugs in patients with ACS who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the data of eligible patients with ACS who had undergone PCI at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital System between June 2019 and December 2021. The primary efficacy-related outcome was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and the primary safety-related outcome was major bleeding. Inverse probability of treatment weighting based on propensity score was performed to reduce confounding effects. The study included 2,636 patients; of them, 429 received prasugrel and 2,207 received ticagrelor. No significant between-group difference was observed in the risk of MACE (13.1 vs. 13.1 events per 100 person-years, respectively, hazard ratio (HR): 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-1.43). Both groups exhibited similar rates of major bleeding (3.9 vs. 4.1 events per 100 person-years, respectively, subdistribution HR: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.68-1.35). In real-world settings, adjusted-dose prasugrel and ticagrelor exhibit comparable safety and efficacy profiles in East Asian patients with ACS after PCI. Our findings offer valuable insights for future clinical decision making and patient management strategies.

Clinical outcomes of adjusted-dose versus standard-dose prasugrel in East Asian patients with acute myocardial infarction. Int J Cardiol 2024; 410:132197. [PMID: 38823533 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The comparative efficacy and safety of adjusted- and standard-dose prasugrel in East Asian patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain unclear. This study aimed to comparatively assess the ischaemic and bleeding outcomes of adjusted-dose (maintenance dose: 3.75 mg) and standard-dose (maintenance dose: 10 mg) prasugrel in East Asian patients with AMI undergoing PCI. METHODS From a combined dataset sourced from nationwide AMI registries in Japan and South Korea (n = 17,118), patients treated with either adjusted- or standard-dose prasugrel were identified. Patients who did not undergo emergent PCI, those on oral anticoagulants, and those meeting the criteria of contraindication of prasugrel in South Korea (age ≥ 75 years, body weight < 60 kg, or history of stroke) were excluded. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) major bleeding events were compared between the adjusted-dose (n = 1160) and standard-dose (n = 1086) prasugrel groups. RESULTS Within the propensity-matched cohort (n = 702 in each group), no significant difference was observed in the in-hospital MACE between the adjusted- and standard-dose prasugrel groups (1.85% vs. 2.71%, odds ratio [OR] 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.33-1.38, p = 0.286). However, the incidence of in-hospital major bleeding was significantly lower in the adjusted-dose prasugrel group than in the standard-dose group (0.43% vs. 1.71%, OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07-0.88, p = 0.031). The cumulative 12-month incidence of MACE was equivalent in both groups (4.70% vs. 4.70%, OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.61-1.64, p = 1.000). CONCLUSIONS Among East Asian patients with AMI undergoing PCI, those administered adjusted-dose prasugrel exhibited a lower risk of in-hospital bleeding events than those administered standard-dose prasugrel, while maintaining a comparable 1-year incidence of MACE.

Am J Med 2024; 137:742-750.e11. [PMID: 38641192 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjmed.2024.03.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the effectiveness and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel may differ in patients with chronic liver disease, there is a scarcity of evidence comparing ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with chronic liver disease. We aimed to evaluate the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and major bleeding associated with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to acute coronary syndrome by chronic liver disease status. METHODS Using the Korean healthcare claim database, we included adult patients who underwent PCI and initiated ticagrelor or clopidogrel treatment within 7 days of an acute coronary syndrome diagnosis. Patients were classified into 2 mutually exclusive groups: patients with chronic liver disease and patients without chronic liver disease. Within each group, the hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of MACE and major bleeding associated with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model within a 1:1 propensity score (PS) matched cohort. RESULTS The final cohort included 14,261 and 148,535 patients with and without chronic liver disease, respectively. After PS matching, the risk of MACE (with chronic liver disease, HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.91-1.13; without chronic liver disease, HR: 1.02, 95% CI: 0.98-1.05; P for homogeneity: 0.865) and major bleeding (with chronic liver disease, HR: 1.07, 95% CI: 0.71-1.61; without chronic liver disease, HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.15-1.53; P for homogeneity: 0.342) for ticagrelor versus clopidogrel do not vary with chronic liver disease status. CONCLUSIONS Among acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing PCI, the use of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel was associated with a similar risk of MACE and an increased risk of major bleeding, but these risks did not vary with chronic liver disease status.

Hellenic J Cardiol 2024:S1109-9666(24)00133-7. [PMID: 38950885 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2024.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through various pathways, including an adenosine-triggered pathway. Ticagrelor inhibits adenosine uptake, thus may potentiate the effects of RIPC. This randomized trial tested the hypothesis that ticagrelor potentiates the effect of RIPC and reduces PMI, assessed by post-procedural troponin release. METHODS Patients undergoing PCI for non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes were 1:1 randomized to ticagrelor (TG-Group) or clopidogrel (CL-Group). Within each treatment, patients were 1:1 randomized to a RIPC (RIPC-Group) or a control group (CTRL-Group). The primary endpoint was the difference between post- and pre-procedural troponin at 24 h following PCI, termed deltaTnI. RESULTS During a 12-month period, 138 patients were included in the study (34 in the CL-CTRL group, 34 in the TG-CTRL group, 35 in the CL-RIPC group, and 35 in the TG-CTRL group). There was a significant difference in deltaTnI between the study groups [ TG-RIPC:0.04 (0-0.16), CL-CTRL:0.10 (0.03-0.43), CLRIPC:0.11 (0.03-0.89), and TG-CTRL:0.24 (0.06-0.47); p = 0.007]. Eight patients (22.9%) in the TG-RIPC group developed type 4a myocardial infarction (MI), compared to 14 (40%) in the CL-RIPC group, 13 (38.2%) in the CL-CTRL group, and 19 (55.9%) in the TG-CTRL group (p = 0.048). A significant interaction between antiplatelet group allocation and RIPC on deltaTnI was observed [F (1,134) = 7.509; p = 0.007]. In multivariate analysis, the interaction between RIPC and ticagrelor treatment was independently associated with a lower incidence of Type 4a MI. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate an interaction between ticagrelor and RIPC, which may potentiate the cardioprotective effects of RIPC during PCI by reducing PMI.

Abstract
Ticagrelor is a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor approved for use in patients with acute coronary syndromes, coronary artery disease, and low-moderate risk acute ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack. Clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor on ischemic and bleeding outcomes for different indications and with varying treatment approaches. As a result, there is a large body of clinical evidence demonstrating different degrees of net clinical benefit compared with other platelet inhibitor drugs based on indication, patient characteristics, clinical presentation, treatment duration, and other factors. We provide a review of the major trials of ticagrelor in the context of other randomized trials of clopidogrel and prasugrel to organize the volume of available information, elevate corroborating and conflicting data, and identify potential gaps as areas for further exploration of optimal antiplatelet treatment.

De-escalation of dual antiplatelet therapy for patients with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. BMJ Evid Based Med 2024; 29:171-186.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) de-escalation with five alternative DAPT strategies in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). DESIGN We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA). Parallel-arm randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DAPT strategies were included and arms of interest were compared via NMA. Partial ranking of each identified arm and for each investigated endpoint was also performed. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Adult patients with ACS (≥18 years) undergoing PCI with indications for DAPT. SEARCH METHODS A comprehensive search covered several databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central, MEDLINE, Conference Proceeding Citation Index-Science) from inception to 15 October 2023. Medical subject headings and keywords related to ACS, PCI and DAPT interventions were used. Reference lists of included studies were screened. Clinical trials registers were searched for ongoing or unpublished trials. INTERVENTIONS Six strategies were assessed: T1 arm: acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and prasugrel for 12 months; T2 arm: ASA and low-dose prasugrel for 12 months; T3 arm: ASA and ticagrelor for 12 months; T4 arm: DAPT de-escalation (ASA+P2Y12 inhibitor for 1-3 months, then single antiplatelet therapy with potent P2Y12 inhibitor or DAPT with clopidogrel); T5 arm: ASA and clopidogrel for 12 months; T6 arm: ASA and clopidogrel for 3-6 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome: Cardiovascular mortality. SECONDARY OUTCOMES bleeding events (all, major, minor), stent thrombosis (ST), stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). RESULTS 23 RCTs (75 064 patients with ACS) were included. No differences in cardiovascular mortality, all-cause death, recurrent MI or MACE were found when the six strategies were compared, although with different levels of certainty of evidence. ASA and clopidogrel for 12 or 3-6 months may result in a large increase of ST risk versus ASA plus full-dose prasugrel (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.14 to 3.12, and OR 3.42, 95% CI 1.33 to 7.26, respectively; low certainty evidence for both comparisons). DAPT de-escalation probably results in a reduced risk of all bleedings compared with ASA plus full-dose 12-month prasugrel (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.81, moderate-certainty evidence) and ASA plus 12-month ticagrelor (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.75), while it may not increase the risk of ST. ASA plus 12-month clopidogrel may reduce all bleedings versus ASA plus full-dose 12-month prasugrel (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.94, low certainty) and ASA plus 12-month ticagrelor (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.89). CONCLUSIONS DAPT de-escalation and ASA-clopidogrel regimens may reduce bleeding events compared with 12 months ASA and potent P2Y12 inhibitors. 3-6 months or 12-month aspirin-clopidogrel may increase ST risk compared with 12-month aspirin plus potent P2Y12 inhibitors, while DAPT de-escalation probably does not.

Abstract
An 86-year-old man successfully underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in which a drug-coated stent (DCS) was placed in the left anterior descending coronary artery. However, stent thrombosis occurred twice after eight and two months. After the second admission, the patient was tested for platelet aggregation activity using the platelet aggregation threshold index (PATI), and insufficient inhibition of platelet aggregation was observed. The patient's PATI improved to a satisfactory level using oral anticoagulants. At the six-month follow-up, clinical events were observed. Measuring the platelet aggregation ability can help clinicians understand the pathology of patients and determine treatment choices.

Abstract
Potent P2Y12 receptor antagonists have been used widely for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with different results. Benefits from different regimens various between trials. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have restrictive inclusion and exclusion criteria; thus, they may limit the generalizability of the findings to a broader population. This study was aimed to comprehensively investigate the outcomes of potent P2Y12 inhibitors in patients undergoing PCI, including RCTs and real-world evidence (RWE) studies. Multiple electronic databases were systemically reviewed and searched on compared potent P2Y12 inhibitors with clopidogrel. The primary efficacy end point was composite ischemic cardiovascular event and primary safety endpoint was major bleeding. Overall estimates of proportions and incidence rates with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using fixed-effects models. Total 24 studies (140,986 patients) underwent coronary intervention were included in this meta-analysis, including 18 RCTs and 6 large cohort studies with propensity score matching. The potent P2Y12 inhibitors including cangrelor, prasugrel, and ticagrelor, significantly decreased the risk of composite adverse cardiovascular ischemic events (95 % CI 0.89-0.96, p < 0.001), but increased major bleeding (95 % CI 1.15-1.33, p < 0.001) or any bleeding (95 % CI 1.21-1.33, p < 0.001) compared with Clopidogrel. This meta-analysis merges RCTs and RWE studies and comprehensively evidences newer potent P2Y12 inhibitors are significantly more effective than clopidogrel in reduction of composite adverse thrombotic events, but the incidence of major or any bleeding was higher compared with clopidogrel.

[PMID: 38455558 PMCID: PMC10918014 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We searched MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane, Embase, and the Cochrane library databases for eligible citations (the last search was up to December 2021). Subgroup analyses were performed based on region, study design, dose, and single-center/multicenter. Meta regressions were conducted to explore the source of heterogeneity. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the robustness of the results. Funnel plots and Egger's test were preformed to test publication bias of the meta-analysis. Results A total of 29 studies were included, totaling 165,981 patients. Ticagrelor reduced the overall incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (HR 0.74; 95% CI, 0.62, 0.89; P = 0.001; I2 = 88.3%, P < 0.001) and all-cause mortality (HR 0.85; 95% CI, 0.75, 0.97; P = 0.019; I2 = 39.7%, P = 0.052) compared with clopidogrel. However, there was a higher risk of major bleeding (HR 1.21; 95% CI, 1.02,1.44; P = 0.026, I2 = 59.3%, P = 0.012) and all bleeding (HR 1.42; 95% CI, 1.24, 1.62; P < 0.001, I2 = 76.4%, P < 0.001) with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel. The stability of the results was demonstrated by sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, subgroup analyses and meta-regression revealed that the heterogeneity in the study may stem from factors such as whether it was conducted in a single-center or multicenter setting, as well as the geographical region. Conclusion Ticagrelor has demonstrated superior efficacy compared to clopidogrel in ACS patients undergoing PCI, particularly in Asia and Europe. Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge that the utilization of ticagrelor is linked to a heightened risk of bleeding. To provide guidance for clinical decision-making regarding the use of ticagrelor, future multicenter randomized trials that are relevant and encompass longer follow-up periods are necessary. The category of the manuscript a meta-analysis PROSPERO registration number CRD42021274198.

[PMID: 38623472 PMCID: PMC11017352 DOI: 10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The optimal perioperative antithrombotic strategy for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial. Objectives To determine the safety and effectiveness of bivalirudin plus ticagrelor vs bivalirudin plus clopidogrel in patients with ACS undergoing PCI in the real world. Methods Between March 2016 and March 2019, 7234 patients with ACS who had undergone PCI, received bivalirudin periprocedurally, and were prescribed ticagrelor or clopidogrel were enrolled in a single-center, all-comer, modern, retrospective cohort study. Incidence rates of 12-month ischemia (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or stroke), all-cause death, Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2,3,5 bleeding, and BARC type 3,5 bleeding were compared between different groups. Results In total, 4960 patients received bivalirudin plus clopidogrel and 2274 patients received bivalirudin plus ticagrelor. Compared with bivalirudin plus clopidogrel, bivalirudin plus ticagrelor was associated with lower ischemic events (1.74% vs 2.84%; relative risk, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.41-0.91; P = .02) and stroke (0.05% vs 1.01%, P < .001) within 12 months after PCI without excessive risk of bleeding (BARC type 2,3,5 bleeding: 4.49% vs 3.76%, P = .22; BARC type 3,5 bleeding: 2.84% vs 2.02%, P = .08). The beneficial effects of bivalirudin plus ticagrelor were consistent among subgroups. Conclusion As an initial treatment strategy, bivalirudin plus ticagrelor could reduce the 12-month risk of ischemic events compared with bivalirudin plus clopidogrel significantly without increasing the bleeding risk in ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The relationship between hyperuricemia and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is considerably controversial. Additionally, the strategy of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has not been evaluated in patients with ACS with hyperuricemia. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of ACS and explore the efficacy of ticagrelor compared with clopidogrel in patients with hyperuricemia. METHODS The study enrolled 4319 patients divided into hyperuricemia (HUA, n = 1060) and normouricemia (NUA, n = 3259) groups. The inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. RESULTS Hyperuricemia significantly increased the risk of all-cause death compared with patients with NUA at 7 days [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 4.292, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.727-10.67]; P = 0.002), 14 days (adjusted HR: 2.871, 95% CI 1.326-6.219; P = 0.0074), 30 days (adjusted HR: 2.168, 95% CI 1.056-4.453; P = 0.035), 3 months (adjusted HR: 2.018, 95% CI 1.152-3.533; P = 0.0144) and 1 year (adjusted HR: 1.702, 95% CI 1.137-2.548; P = 0.009). No significant difference was found between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in 1-year all-cause mortality [7.0% versus 5.5%, adjusted HR: 1.114 (95% CI 0.609-2.037), P = 0.725] among patients with concomitant hyperuricemia. CONCLUSION Hyperuricemia was independently related to an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. At 1-year follow-up, there were no significant differences between ticagrelor and clopidogrel concerning all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at a high-bleeding risk (HBR) often require dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to reduce the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Clopidogrel and ticagrelor are the most commonly used antiplatelet agents in DAPT regimens. However, the safety profiles of these drugs in ACS patients at HBR remain a subject of ongoing debate. AIM To investigate any difference between the safety of clopidogrel and ticagrelor used as a part of DAPT regimen in ACS patients at HBR. METHODS A systematic search on PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify experimental and observational studies published up to the knowledge cutoff date in September 2023. Studies comparing the safety of clopidogrel and ticagrelor in ACS patients at HBR were included for analysis. The primary outcomes assessed were major bleeding events, stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI), while secondary outcomes included all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), and net adverse clinical and cerebral events (NACCE). RESULTS We included a total of 8 observational studies in our meta-analysis. The pooled analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in the risk of MI (pooled RR = 1.43; 95% CI 1.12-1.83; P = 0.005) in the patients using clopidogrel. There were no statistically significant differences in major bleeding events (pooled RR = 0.94; 95% CI 0.82-1.09; P = 0.44), stroke (pooled RR = 1.36; 95% CI 0.86-2.14; P = 0.18), all-cause mortality (pooled RR = 1.17; 95% CI 0.97-1.41; P = 0.10), MACCE (pooled RR = 1.07; 95% CI 0.76-1.50; P = 0.69) and NACCE (pooled RR = 0.95; 95% CI 0.66-1.37; P = 0.78) between the two groups. Subgroup analyses based on region were performed. CONCLUSION Both drugs are generally safe for treating ACS patients with HBR at baseline, although a higher risk of MI was observed with the use of clopidogrel. Nevertheless, drug choice should factor in regional variations, patient-specific characteristics, cost, accessibility, and potential drug interactions.

Stopping Aspirin Within 1 Month After Stenting for Ticagrelor Monotherapy in Acute Coronary Syndrome: The T-PASS Randomized Noninferiority Trial. Circulation 2024; 149:562-573. [PMID: 37878786 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.123.066943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Stopping aspirin within 1 month after implantation of a drug-eluting stent for ticagrelor monotherapy has not been exclusively evaluated for patients with acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ticagrelor monotherapy after <1 month of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is noninferior to 12 months of ticagrelor-based DAPT for adverse cardiovascular and bleeding events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS In this randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial, 2850 patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent drug-eluting stent implantation at 24 centers in South Korea were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either ticagrelor monotherapy (90 mg twice daily) after <1 month of DAPT (n=1426) or 12 months of ticagrelor-based DAPT (n=1424) between April 24, 2019, and May 31, 2022. The primary end point was the net clinical benefit as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, definite or probable stent thrombosis, stroke, and major bleeding at 1 year after the index procedure in the intention-to-treat population. Key secondary end points were the individual components of the primary end point. RESULTS Among 2850 patients who were randomized (mean age, 61 years; 40% ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction), 2823 (99.0%) completed the trial. Aspirin was discontinued at a median of 16 days (interquartile range, 12-25 days) in the group receiving ticagrelor monotherapy after <1 month of DAPT. The primary end point occurred in 40 patients (2.8%) in the group receiving ticagrelor monotherapy after <1-month DAPT, and in 73 patients (5.2%) in the ticagrelor-based 12-month DAPT group (hazard ratio, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.37-0.80]; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P=0.002 for superiority). This finding was consistent in the per-protocol population as a sensitivity analysis. The occurrence of major bleeding was significantly lower in the ticagrelor monotherapy after <1-month DAPT group compared with the 12-month DAPT group (1.2% versus 3.4%; hazard ratio, 0.35 [95% CI, 0.20-0.61]; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that stopping aspirin within 1 month for ticagrelor monotherapy is both noninferior and superior to 12-month DAPT for the 1-year composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, and major bleeding, primarily because of a significant reduction in major bleeding, among patients with acute coronary syndrome receiving drug-eluting stent implantation. Low event rates, which may suggest enrollment of relatively non-high-risk patients, should be considered in interpreting the trial.

Abstract
PURPOSE East Asian individuals have a lower risk of thromboembolic events while potentially carrying a higher risk of bleeding events compared with non-Asian individuals. The aim of the present analysis was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the de-escalation of antiplatelet therapy compared with standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in East Asian patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Randomized controlled trials comparing de-escalation with DAPT in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were retrieved from electronic databases from their inception until March 2022. Outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), ischemic events, major bleeding, minor bleeding, and any bleeding. Subgroup analyses based on treatment strategy were conducted. Statistical analysis was performed by using Review Manager version 5.4. FINDINGS Eight randomized controlled trials from 539 potentially relevant publications with a total of 15,744 East Asian patients were included. Pooled data from these studies found a significantly lower MACE (0.82; 95% CI, 0.69-0.98) and major bleeding event (0.62; 95% CI, 0.46-0.82) in de-escalation than standard-DAPT without heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis was divided into DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy and a reducing dose of P2Y12 inhibitors. DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy had a 48% lower incidence of major bleeding events than standard DAPT (0.52; 95% CI, 0.27-1.00); there was no significant difference in major bleeding (0.99; 95% CI, 0.55-1.76) between the reducing dose of P2Y12 inhibitors and standard DAPT. IMPLICATIONS De-escalation is a promising and potentially optimal antiplatelet therapy for patients from East Asia with PCI. DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy might be a safer and equally effective approach compared with standard DAPT in East Asian patients with PCI. PROSPERO identifier: CRD42022319983.

Abstract
Identifying the most appropriate antiplatelet therapy for each patient to prevent ischemic events while minimizing the risk of bleeding is an integral part of the short- and long-term management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This review aims to summarize the available evidence on the contemporary use of P2Y12 inhibitors in CAD patients, focusing on strategies aimed at providing adequate ischemic protection while preventing bleeding risk through dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) modulation. Randomized trials and observational studies have been reviewed to determine the most appropriate antiplatelet treatment for CAD patients with different risk profiles. Both ischemic and bleeding events have a significant prognostic impact and should be carefully considered in clinical decision-making. Current guidelines recommend the use of third-generation PY2Y12 inhibitors (prasugrel or ticagrelor) over clopidogrel, as a part of DAPT, in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Newer P2Y12 inhibitors have a more rapid onset of action and less interindividual variability in platelet inhibition than clopidogrel but are associated with an increased risk of bleeding that may limit their benefit. Importantly, the anti-ischemic benefit of ticagrelor and prasugrel is mainly observed in the first weeks after ACS, whereas clopidogrel seems to provide the best balance between ischemic protection and bleeding as long-term maintenance therapy. These concepts support DAPT modulation after the acute phase, by de-escalating from full-dose to low-dose newer P2Y12 inhibitors, by switching to clopidogrel, or by early withdrawing aspirin to maximize both the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet therapy in patients with CAD.

Abstract
The exposure to ticagrelor (BRILINTA) is higher in the East Asian population compared with the White population, thus, East Asians have an increased risk of bleeding. We developed a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model of ticagrelor based on a randomized 3 × 3 crossover study in healthy subjects. The area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of Chinese patients with acute coronary syndrome was simulated based on this model. Following this, eight machine learning (ML) methods were used to construct bleeding risk models. Variables included in the final bleeding risk model were age, hypertension, body weight, AUC, drinking status, calcium channel blockers, antidiabetic medications, β-blockers, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, transient ischemic attack, sex, and proton pump inhibitor. In terms of F1 scores and area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC), the Random Forest model performed best among all models, with an F1 score of 0.73 and ROC-AUC of 0.81. Moreover, the PopPK model and ML algorithm were used to bridge the real-world data to build a bleeding risk prediction model based on drug exposure and clinical information. Using this model, a ticagrelor regimen that is associated with a lower risk of bleeding in individuals can be obtained. This model should be further validated prospectively in clinical settings.

Age- and Sex-Specific Disparities in Outcomes After Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in East Asian Patients. Am J Cardiol 2023; 207:237-244. [PMID: 37757520 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.08.124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
It is unknown whether there are age- and gender-related differences in the safety and efficacy of potent P2Y12 inhibitors in East Asian populations with a different bleeding or ischemic propensity. Using data from the TICAKOREA (Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Asian/Korean Patients with ACS Intended for Invasive Management) trial comparing ticagrelor versus clopidogrel for 800 Korean patients with acute coronary syndrome, the safety and efficacy outcomes were compared according to age (<75 vs ≥75 years) and gender (men vs women). The primary bleeding end point was clinically significant bleeding, and the primary ischemic end point was a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) at 12 months. The incidences of clinically significant bleeding were significantly higher after ticagrelor than after clopidogrel in patients aged <75 years (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.40 to 4.67) but not in patients aged ≥75 years (adjusted HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.40 to 3.38). The incidences of MACEs were significantly higher after ticagrelor than after clopidogrel in patients aged ≥75 years (adjusted HR 6.14, 95% CI 1.40 to 26.90) but not in patients aged <75 years (adjusted HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.50 to 1.73). The incidences of clinically significant bleeding were significantly higher after ticagrelor than after clopidogrel in men (adjusted HR 2.69, 95% CI 1.38 to 5.24) but not in women (adjusted HR 1.49, 95% CI 0.64 to 3.46). The adjusted risks of MACEs after ticagrelor or clopidogrel were not significantly different between men and women. In conclusion, there were substantial age- and gender-related differences in bleeding and ischemic outcomes after ticagrelor or clopidogrel in Korean patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiplatelet therapy, where regimens are tailored based on platelet function testing, has been introduced into neurointerventional surgery. This nationwide registry study evaluated the effect and safety of tailored antiplatelet therapy in stent assisted coiling for unruptured aneurysms compared with conventional therapy using a standard regimen. METHODS This study enrolled 1686 patients in 44 participating centers who received stent assisted coiling for unruptured aneurysms between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019. The standard regimen (aspirin and clopidogrel) was used for all patients in the conventional group (924, 19 centers). The regimen was selected based on platelet function testing (standard regimen for clopidogrel responders; adding cilostazol or replacing clopidogrel with other thienopyridines (ticlopidine, prasugrel, or ticagrelor) for clopidogrel non-responders) in the tailored group (762, 25 centers). The primary outcome was thromboembolic events. Secondary outcomes were bleeding and poor outcomes (increase in modified Rankin Scale score). Outcomes within 30 days after coiling were compared using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The thromboembolic event rate was lower in the tailored group than in the conventional group (30/762 (3.9%) vs 63/924 (6.8%), adjusted OR 0.560, 95% CI 0.359 to 0.875, P=0.001). The bleeding event rate was not different between the study groups (62/762 (8.1%) vs 73/924 (7.9%), adjusted OR 0.790, 95% CI 0.469 to 1.331, P=0.376). Poor outcomes were less frequent in the tailored group (12/762 (1.6%) vs 34 (3.7%), adjusted OR 0.252, 95% CI 0.112 to 0.568, P=0.001). CONCLUSION Tailored antiplatelet therapy in stent assisted coiling for unruptured aneurysms reduced thromboembolic events and poor outcomes without increasing bleeding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether use of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel is associated with different risks for thrombotic events or major bleeding among acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with a prior history of acute ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used the Health and Welfare Database in Taiwan. Stroke patients prescribed ticagrelor plus aspirin or clopidogrel plus aspirin after a primary hospitalization for AMI between July 1, 2013, and December 31, 2018, were included. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied to balance covariates between treatment groups. The primary effectiveness outcome included a composite measure of AMI, acute ischemic stroke, or all-cause mortality. The primary safety outcome included a composite measure of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and major gastrointestinal bleeding. The secondary effectiveness and safety outcomes comprised each of the individual components that make up the primary effectiveness and safety outcomes, respectively. RESULTS A total of 1691 eligible patients were included in the study, of whom 734 (43.4%) received ticagrelor plus aspirin and 957 received clopidogrel plus aspirin. There were no significant differences observed in the primary and secondary effectiveness outcomes between the two study groups. However, the use of ticagrelor was associated with a higher risk of ICH (ticagrelor: 8.68 per 1000 person-year; clopidogrel: 2.17 per 1,000 person-year; HR, 3.34; 95% CI, 1.27 to 8.81, P = .01) compared with clopidogrel. CONCLUSION In AMI patients with a history of acute ischemic stroke, the risks of cardiovascular events were comparable between ticagrelor plus aspirin and clopidogrel plus aspirin. However, ticagrelor was associated with a higher risk of ICH. Ticagrelor should be used cautiously in AMI patients with a history of acute ischemic stroke.

Strategy of dual antiplatelet therapy for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Int J Cardiol 2023; 389:131157. [PMID: 37433404 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.131157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various durations and de-escalation strategies of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) have been tested in randomized controlled trials (RCT)s. However, evidence by specific ACS subtype is unknown. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched in February 2023. RCTs on DAPT strategies included STEMI or NSTE-ACS patients with standard DAPT (12 months) with clopidogrel or potent P2Y12 inhibitors, short-term DAPT (≤6 months) followed by potent P2Y12 inhibitors or aspirin, unguided de-escalation from potent P2Y12 inhibitors to low-dose potent P2Y12 inhibitors or clopidogrel at one month, and guided selection with genotype or platelet function tests were identified. The primary outcome was the net adverse clinical events (NACE) defined as a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and clinically relevant bleeding events. RESULTS Twenty RCTs with a combined total population of 24,745 STEMI and 37,891 NSTE-ACS patients were included. In STEMI patients, unguided de-escalation strategy was associated with a lower rate of NACE compared with standard DAPT using potent P2Y12 inhibitors (HR:0.57; 95% CI:0.34-0.96) without increased risk of MACE. In NSTE-ACS patients, unguided de-escalation strategy was associated with a lower rate of NACE compared with the guided selection strategy (HR:0.65; 95% CI:0.47-0.90), standard DAPT using potent P2Y12 inhibitors (HR:0.62; 95% CI:0.50-0.78) and standard DAPT using clopidogrel (HR:0.73; 95% CI:0.55-0.98) without increased risk of MACE. CONCLUSION Unguided de-escalation strategy was associated with a reduced risk of NACE and may be the most effective DAPT strategy for STEMI and NSTE-ACS.

Abstract
Ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) provides potent antiplatelet inhibition but may increase the bleeding risk in Asian populations. We investigated the influence of early ticagrelor dose reduction (120 mg) on clinical outcomes in Korean patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A multicenter prospective clinical cohort study was conducted with patients who received standard-dose ticagrelor-based DAPT (180 mg) after PCI for complex lesions. Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE: a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and repeat revascularization), bleeding, and net adverse clinical events (NACE: a composite of MACE and bleeding) were assessed. Among the 772 patients on standard-dose ticagrelor-based DAPT, 115 (14.8%) switched to low-dose ticagrelor-based DAPT (120 mg) within 6 months. Common reasons for the regimen changes were switching as planned (38.8%), dyspnea (25.5%), and bleeding (23.6%). A multivariable Cox proportional hazard model (CPH) showed that the risks of MACE, bleeding, and NACE were not different between the low-dose and standard-dose groups throughout the entire follow-up period and the period beyond 6 months post-PCI. Time-varying multivariable CPH models of the ticagrelor dose reduction yielded similar results. A reduction of the ticagrelor dose within 6 months after PCI is feasible and safe even in patients with complex lesions harboring a high ischemic event risk.

Abstract
AIM A high risk of bleeding is observed in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Therefore, the choice between two antiplatelet therapy drugs, ticagrelor and clopidogrel, remains controversial in this population with ACS. This study aimed to use a large cohort database to assess the clinical outcomes of ticagrelor and clopidogrel therapy, including major bleeding, recurrent ACS, and mortality, in this population. METHODS Between January 2009 and December 2019, 43,696 patients were diagnosed with ACS based on the medical history (International Classification of Diseases [ICD] code) of the Chang Gung Research Database. After excluding patients without percutaneous coronary intervention, with concurrent medical problems, and on non-standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) or a single antiplatelet agent, 18,046 patients were recruited for analysis. Ticagrelor- and clopidogrel-based DAPT were administered to 3666 patients and 14,380 patients, respectively. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. A total of 4225 patients were defined as a high-bleeding-risk subgroup according to Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) score (met one major or two minor criteria), of which 466 and 3759 patients received ticagrelor- and clopidogrel-based DAPT, respectively. RESULTS Before propensity score matching (PSM), younger age, higher prevalence of male sex, and higher body mass index were noted in the ticagrelor-based DAPT group in the whole cohort and high-bleeding-risk subgroup. After PSM, no difference in baseline characteristics and comorbidities between ticagrelor-based and clopidogrel-based DAPT groups in the whole cohort and high-bleeding-risk subgroup was noted. The Kaplan-Meier curves of recurrent ACS and major bleeding were significantly lower in the ticagrelor-based DAPT group than in the clopidogrel-based DAPT group, and that of cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality showed no significant differences. After PSM, in the high-bleeding-risk subgroup, the Kaplan-Meier curve of recurrent ACS was significantly lower in the ticagrelor-based DAPT group than in the clopidogrel-based DAPT group, and that of major bleeding, CV, and all-cause mortality showed no significant differences. CONCLUSION In this large cohort study, patients receiving ticagrelor-based DAPT were at lower risk of recurrent ACS compared to those receiving clopidogrel-based DAPT, especially in the patients with myocardial infarction. Ticagrelor-based DAPT did not result in a higher risk of major bleeding in the whole ACS population and high-bleeding-risk subgroup. The rate of CV and all-cause mortality were similar between both the groups.

Short-Term DAPT and DAPT De-Escalation Strategies for Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis. Circ Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 16:e013242. [PMID: 37609850 DOI: 10.1161/circinterventions.123.013242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-term (≤6 months) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and DAPT de-escalation become attractive for patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS A systemic search identified randomized controlled trials that included patients with acute coronary syndrome treated using (1) standard DAPT (12 months) with clopidogrel, prasugrel (standard/low dose), or ticagrelor; (2) extended DAPT (≥18 months); (3) short-term DAPT (≤6 months) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor or aspirin; (4) 12-month DAPT with unguided de-escalation from potent P2Y12 inhibitors to low-dose potent P2Y12 inhibitor or clopidogrel at 1 month; and (5) guided selection DAPT with genotype or platelet function tests. The primary efficacy outcome (major adverse cardiovascular events) was a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. The primary safety outcome was major or minor bleeding. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 32 randomized controlled trials with 103 497 patients. While there were no differences in efficacy between short, unguided de-escalation and guided selection strategies, unguided de-escalation was associated with reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events compared with standard DAPT with clopidogrel or ticagrelor (hazard ratio [95% CI], 0.67 [0.49-0.93] and 0.68 [0.50-0.93]). Both short DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor and unguided de-escalation were associated with reduced risks in safety compared with other strategies, including guided selection (hazard ratio [95% CI], 0.66 [0.47-0.93] and 0.48 [0.33-0.71]). Short DAPT followed by a P2Y12 inhibitor was associated with reduced risk of major bleeding and all-cause death compared with standard, extended DAPT (eg, versus DAPT with clopidogrel; hazard ratio [95% CI], 0.64 [0.42-0.97] and 0.60 [0.44-0.82]). By rankogram, unguided de-escalation strategy was the safest and most effective strategy in reducing major adverse cardiovascular events and major or minor bleeding while short DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor was ranked the best for major bleeding and all-cause death. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute coronary syndrome, unguided de-escalation was associated with the lowest risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and major or minor bleeding outcomes, while short DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor was associated with the lowest risk of major bleeding and all-cause death.

Implementation of CYP2C19 genotyping and clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention in East Asian patients treated with oral P2Y 12 inhibitors. Thromb Res 2023; 228:85-93. [PMID: 37301117 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2023.05.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The CYP2C19 loss-of-function variants have significant impact on response to clopidogrel. The efficacy and safety of tailored antiplatelet therapy under the guidance of CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms remains elusive for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OBJECTIVES The aims of the present study were to investigate the impact of clinical implementation of CYP2C19 genotyping on the selection of oral P2Y12 inhibitor therapy following PCI, and to estimate the risk of adverse outcomes for patients with different genotype status treated with alternative or traditional P2Y12 inhibitor. METHODS Data from a single-center registry enrolling 41,090 consecutive PCI patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy after PCI were analyzed. Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and bleeding events within 12 months after PCI were compared across CYP2C19 genotype and antiplatelet therapy groups using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS CYP2C19 genotyping was successfully achieved for 9081 patients, of whom baseline characteristics significantly differed from non-genotyped patients. A higher proportion of genotyped patients were prescribed ticagrelor compared with non-genotyped patients (27.0 % vs. 15.5 %, P < 0.001). CYP2C19 metabolic status was an independent predictor for use of ticagrelor (P < 0.001). Ticagrelor was significantly associated with a lower risk of MACEs in poor metabolizers (adjusted hazard ratio 0.62, 95 % confidence interval 0.42 to 0.92, P = 0.017), but not in intermediate metabolizers or normal metabolizers. The interaction was not statistically significant (P for interaction = 0.252). CONCLUSIONS Genotype information on CYP2C19 metabolic status was associated with an increase in the use of potent antiplatelet therapy in PCI patients. Patients prescribed with clopidogrel has a higher risk of MACEs among poor metabolizers, which suggested the potential application of genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor selection for improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), prasugrel was recommended over ticagrelor in a recent randomized controlled trial, although more data are needed on the rationale. Here, the effects of P2Y12 inhibitors on ischemic and bleeding events in patients with NSTE-ACS were investigated. METHODS Clinical trials that enrolled patients with NSTE-ACS were included, relevant data were extracted, and a network meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS This study included 37,268 patients with NSTE-ACS from 11 studies. There was no significant difference between prasugrel and ticagrelor for any end point, although prasugrel had a higher likelihood of event reduction than ticagrelor for all end points except cardiovascular death. Compared with clopidogrel, prasugrel was associated with decreased risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (hazard ratio [HR], 0.84; 95% CI, 0.71-0.99) and myocardial infarction (HR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.68-0.99) but not an increased risk of major bleeding (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 0.97-1.74). Similarly, compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular death (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.66-0.94) and an increased risk of major bleeding (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.00-1.77; P = .049). For the primary efficacy end point (MACE), prasugrel showed the highest likelihood of event reduction (P = .97) and was superior to ticagrelor (P = .29) and clopidogrel (P = .24). CONCLUSION Prasugrel and ticagrelor had comparable risks for every end point, although prasugrel had the highest probability of being the best treatment for reducing the primary efficacy end point. This study highlights the need for further studies to investigate optimal P2Y12 inhibitor selection in patients with NSTE-ACS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment strategy for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with ticagrelor has been controversial in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Our meta-analysis aimed to demonstrate whether intensified antithrombotic regimens with ticagrelor plus aspirin have more beneficial effects and fewer adverse events compared to those of clopidogrel plus aspirin in East Asian patients with ACS undergoing PCI. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Clinical Trials, Cochrane Library, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of DAPT with ticagrelor or clopidogrel plus aspirin for secondary prevention of ACS in East Asian patients undergoing PCI. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used as the metrics of choice for assessing treatment effects. The primary endpoint was bleeding events, and the secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs, including cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], and stroke), all-cause death, and definite/probable/possible stent thrombosis. The I2 index was used to assess heterogeneity. RESULTS Six RCTs involving a total of 2,725 patients met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of all bleeding events with ticagrelor was higher than that with clopidogrel (RR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.31-2.07), but the incidence of MACCE was not significantly different between the two groups (RR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.54-2.16). All-cause death (RR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.67-1.79), cardiovascular death (RR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.68-2.98), nonfatal MI (RR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.48-1.78), stroke (RR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.40-2.50), and stent thrombosis (RR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.19-2.98) were not statistically different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Ticagrelor increased the risk of bleeding and did not increase treatment efficacy compared to that of clopidogrel in the East Asian population who have ACS treated with PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guideline-recommended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT; aspirin plus prasugrel/ticagrelor) for 12 months in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients increases bleeding, with East Asians (EAs) exhibiting higher bleeding and lower ischemic risk, compared with non-East Asians (nEAs). We sought to compare DAPT "de-escalation" strategies in EA and nEA populations. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials assessing reduction of DAPT intensity or duration in ACS patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, in EA and nEA, was performed using a random-effects model. RESULTS Twenty-three trials assessed reduction of DAPT intensity (n = 12) or duration (n = 11). Overall, reduced DAPT intensity attenuated major bleeding (odds ratio [OR]: 0.78, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.65-0.94, p = 0.009), without impacting net adverse cardiovascular events (NACE) or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). In nEA, this increased MACE (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.09-1.31, p < 0.0001) without impacting NACE or bleeding; while in EA, it reduced major bleeding (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.53-0.95, p = 0.02) without affecting NACE or MACE. Overall, abbreviation of DAPT duration reduced NACE (OR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.82-0.99, p = 0.03) due to major bleeding (OR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.53-0.99, p = 0.006), without impacting MACE. In nEA, this strategy did not impact NACE, MACE, or major bleeding; while in EA, it reduced major bleeding (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.4-0.91, p = 0.02) without impacting NACE or MACE. CONCLUSION In EA, reduction of DAPT intensity or duration can minimize bleeding, without safety concerns. In nEA, reduction of DAPT intensity may incur an ischemic penalty, while DAPT abbreviation has no overall benefit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Currently, it is still controversial to treat stroke with ticagrelor alone. The purpose of our study was to systematically review and analyze the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor on cerebrovascular outcomes in patients with vascular risk factors. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were systematically searched using the keywords stroke, ticagrelor, clopidogrel, and aspirin to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Primary outcomes included reported stroke, ischemic stroke, and complex events; the secondary outcome was hemorrhagic stroke. The safety outcomes included major bleeding events, major or minor bleeding, and intracranial bleeding. The pooled odds ratio (OR), hazard ratios (HRs), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. We used I2 statistics to assess statistical heterogeneity. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 15 RCTs involving 63,865 patients. Compared to the control group, ticagrelor reduced the risk of stroke (OR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.81-0.99, p = 0.03; I2 = 3%), ischemic stroke (OR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.74-0.90, p < 0.0001; I2 = 0%). Ticagrelor was not associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.84-1.06, p = 0.31; I2 = 62%), major bleeding (OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.97-1.15, p = 0.20; I2 = 17%), hemorrhagic strokes (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 0.76-1.96, p = 0.41; I2 = 0%), and intracranial hemorrhage (OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 0.78-1.43, p = 0.71; I2 = 12%). There was an increased risk of major or minor bleeding with ticagrelor compared to the control group (OR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.19-1.66, p < 0.0001; I2 = 56%). Additional analyses demonstrated that ticagrelor reduced the risk of incident recurrent stroke (HR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.75-0.93, p = 0.0009; I2 = 0%), recurrent ischemic stroke (HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.71-0.89, p < 0.0001; I2 = 0%) among patients with a history of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). There were no significant differences in safety outcomes. CONCLUSION Ticagrelor is slightly better than clopidogrel and aspirin in preventing stroke, especially ischemic stroke, with significant safety risks. For patients with a history of AIS/TIA, the use of ticagrelor was superior to the use of clopidogrel or aspirin in reducing the risk of subsequent stroke. We believe that ticagrelor is a potential alternative to aspirin or clopidogrel in some cases, especially for patients with CYP2C19 deficiency.

PLoS One 2023; 18:e0278993. [PMID: 36821598 PMCID: PMC9949675 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0278993] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent coronary intervention. METHODS Between November 2011 and December 2015, a total of 13,104 patients with AMI were enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institutes of Health (KAMIR-NIH) registry. Among them, 4,696 patients who received DAPT for more than 24 months were categorized into two groups: the clopidogrel group (n = 4,053) and ticagrelor or prasugrel group (n = 643). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce the bias due to confounding variables. Following PSM, the impacts of P2Y12 inhibitors on the clinical outcomes in both groups were compared during a 36-month clinical follow-up period. RESULTS There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes in terms of cardiac death (7.1% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.101), stroke (1.4% vs. 1.0%, p = 0.436), major bleeding (0.5% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.478), major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (21.6% vs. 20.5%, p = 0.626), and net adverse cardiac event (NACE) (22.1% vs. 21.3%, p = 0.731) between the groups. The ticagrelor or prasugrel group had a lower incidence of recurrent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (12.2% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.006) than the clopidogrel group. However, no differences were observed in the cumulative incidences of 3-year NACE between the ticagrelor or prasugrel and clopidogrel groups. CONCLUSIONS Cumulative incidences of long-term NACE did not differ between the two groups. Therefore, the type and duration of DAPT should be customized for each patient with AMI.

Real-world evidence of switching P2Y12 receptor-inhibiting therapies to prasugrel after PCI in patients with ACS: results from EFF-K registry. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:6. [PMID: 36624388 PMCID: PMC9827633 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-03034-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Potent P2Y12 inhibitors are recommended for up to 12 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the prescription pattern is diverse in real world practice, which includes various switching between antiplatelet regimens. In this study, we analyzed the prescription patterns of prasugrel, and assessed the safety and effectiveness of P2Y12 inhibitors switching patterns in a real world registry of patients subjected to PCI after ACS. METHODS The EFF-K study included 3077 ACS patients receiving prasugrel-based dual antiplatelet therapy. The cohort was divided into those who were administered with prasugrel as the primary antiplatelet treatment (naïve cohort) or as a substitute agent after clopidogrel or ticagrelor pre-treatment (switch cohort). The primary endpoint was a net adverse clinical event (NACE; a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or TIMI major bleeding unrelated to coronary-artery bypass grafting). RESULTS A total of 3077 patients diagnosed with ACS were included in the analysis. Among the total population, 726 patients (23.6%) were classed as the naïve cohort and 2351 patients (76.4%) as the switch cohort. Baseline characteristics showed that the switch cohort had more comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure and previous PCI. The major cause of switching to prasugrel in the switch cohort was the necessity for a more potent antiplatelet agent (56.3%). During a 12-month follow-up period, 51 patients (1.7%) experienced at least one NACE. The incidence of NACE did not differ between the naïve and switch cohort (1.5% vs. 1.7%, Hazard ratio 1.17, 95% Confidence interval 0.56-2.43, P = 0.677). In subgroup analysis, no significant interaction was observed between the treatment strategy and the incidence of NACE across various subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Dual antiplatelet therapy with prasugrel seems to be safe and effective both as a primary treatment and as a substitute for other P2Y12 inhibitors in a real world registry of Asian ACS patients receiving PCI.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and the oral P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel as the cornerstone of treatment for patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was firstly established in 2001. Soon thereafter, the newer-generation P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel and ticagrelor became commercially available. The clinical management of ACS patients undergoing PCI has evolved significantly in the last 2 decades, with a shift toward more rapid invasive management, broader use of drug-eluting stents, and the increasing recognition that major bleeding due to antiplatelet therapy is detrimental. In this ever-changing scenario, numerous studies have addressed 4 main questions regarding P2Y12 inhibition in ACS patients undergoing PCI: timing, selection, modulation, and duration. This paper reviews the latest evidence surrounding these topical questions, with a focus on efficacy and safety data, practice guidelines, and residual areas of uncertainty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clopidogrel is a cornerstone antiplatelet drug used in cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral artery diseases. The sulfhydryl group of clopidogrel metabolite could induce insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) with hypoglycemia as the major symptom. Discontinuing clopidogrel and substituting it with ticagrelor has been revealed as an effective treatment in previous studies. Since hypoglycemia serves as a risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, we aimed to determine the association between hypoglycemia/IAS and clopidogrel and to investigate whether clopidogrel is a modifiable and causal risk factor of hypoglycemia/IAS. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane databases, and clinical trial registries were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of clopidogrel from inception to 28 February 2022. RCTs comparing clopidogrel with placebo or other antiplatelet drugs were eligible if meeting the inclusion criteria: 1) clopidogrel was administrated 75 mg qd orally as a long-term antiplatelet prescription at least for months, and 2) hypoglycemia-inducible drugs were not used in the control arm. One investigator abstracted articles and performed a quality assessment. Uncertainties were resolved by discussions with two investigators independently. Odds ratio (OR) and risk difference (RD) were calculated and performed with subgroup analyses. The pre-specified protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022299622). RESULTS Six trials with 61,399 participants in total fulfilled the criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. Clopidogrel might not be associated with higher hypoglycemia odds (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.40). However, Asian participants (p = 0.0437) seemed more likely to develop clopidogrel-associated hypoglycemia. Clopidogrel-associated hypoglycemia occurred at the highest rate of 0.03% (RD -0.00023, 95% CI -0.00077 to 0.00031), and this increased to 0.91% (RD 0.00210, 95% CI -0.00494 to 0.00914) in an aging population and to 0.18% (RD 0.00040, 95% CI -0.00096 to 0.00177) when Asian ratio of the population was elevated. CONCLUSIONS We raise the concern that clopidogrel might be a modifiable and causal risk factor of hypoglycemia. The Asian population might be more vulnerable and need additional care.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has been the mainstay treatment to reduce ischemic events, such as myocardial infarction or stroke, in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The development of potent P2Y12 inhibitors (ticagrelor and prasugrel) has helped to further reduce ischemic events, particularly among high-risk patients. Meanwhile, the evolution of newer generations of drug-eluting stents are also improving outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention. Research studies on antiplatelet therapy in recent years have focused on balancing ischemic and bleeding risks through different strategies, which include P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy, escalation and de-escalation, and extended DAPT. Because results from the large number of clinical studies may sometimes appear conflicting, this review aims to summarize recent advances, and demonstrate that they are aligned by a general principle, namely, strategies may be adopted based on treatment aims for specific patients at several time points. Another aim of this review is to outline the important considerations for using antiplatelet therapy in Asian patients, in whom there is a greater prevalence of CYP2C19 loss-of-function mutations, and a common increased risk of bleeding, despite high platelet reactivity (the so-called "East Asian Paradox").

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unknown whether diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the relative safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). OBJECTIVES The authors sought to assess the safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel according to the diabetic status of East Asian patients with ACS undergoing invasive management. METHODS This prespecified analysis of the TICA KOREA (Clinically Significant Bleeding With Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Korean Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Intended for Invasive Management) trial included 800 Korean patients. The primary safety endpoint was clinically significant bleeding (PLATO [Platelet Inhibition and Clinical Outcomes] major or minor bleeding) at 12 months; the efficacy endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke). RESULTS Of 800 patients, 216 (27.0%) had DM. The incidence of clinically significant bleeding within 12 months was significantly higher with ticagrelor than clopidogrel in the nondiabetic group (10.2% vs 4.3%; HR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.27-4.70; P = 0.007) and tended to be higher in the diabetic group (13.8% vs 8.0%; HR: 1.87; 95% CI: 0.54-4.36; P = 0.15); there was no significant interaction between treatment-arm and DM (P for interaction = 0.64). The incidences of major adverse cardiovascular events were not significantly different after ticagrelor or clopidogrel both in the diabetic group (10.8% vs 6.0%; HR: 1.90; 95% CI: 0.71-5.07; P = 0.20) and in the nondiabetic group (8.5% vs 5.7%; HR: 1.51; 95% CI: 0.81-2.81; P = 0.19) without significant interaction (P-for-interaction = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS In Korean ACS patients undergoing early invasive management, diabetes status did not affect the relative safety and efficacy of ticagrelor and clopidogrel.

Abstract
Current guidelines for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for 12 months. Since bleeding is the main Achilles' heel of DAPT, in recent years several randomized controlled trials have evaluated the safety and efficacy of de-escalation of DAPT with respect to ischaemic and bleeding endpoints. These trials can be broadly divided into studies evaluating a shorter duration of DAPT, and those studies in which DAPT that includes a potent P2Y12 inhibitor, such as prasugrel or ticagrelor, is compared to less intense DAPT, mainly clopidogrel or reduced-dose prasugrel. We sought to evaluate the studies assessing de-escalation of DAPT in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. We review the studies evaluating the strategies of de-escalation of DAPT intensity and those evaluating a strategy of de-escalation of DAPT duration in ACS patients undergoing PCI. We summarize the limitations of studies to date, gaps in evidence and make recommendations for future studies.

Racial and ethnic differences in pharmacotherapy to prevent coronary artery disease and thrombotic events. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL - CARDIOVASCULAR PHARMACOTHERAPY 2022; 8:738-751. [PMID: 35848895 PMCID: PMC9520447 DOI: 10.1093/ehjcvp/pvac040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 06/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Awareness of racial/ethnic disparities represents a key challenge for healthcare systems that attempt to provide effective healthcare and to reduce existing inequalities in the use of and adherence to guideline-recommended cardiovascular drugs to improve clinical outcomes for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review, we describe important racial/ethnic differences between and within ethnic groups in the prevalence, risk factors, haemostatic factors, anti-inflammatory and endothelial markers, recurrence, and outcomes of CVD. We discuss important differences in the selection, doses, and response [efficacy and adverse drug reactions (ADRs)] in ethnically diverse patients treated with antithrombotics or lipid-lowering drugs. Differences in drug response are mainly related to racial/ethnic differences in the frequency of polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) and drug transporters. These polymorphisms markedly influence the pharmacokinetics, dose requirements, and safety of warfarin, clopidogrel, and statins. This review aims to support a better understanding of the genetic differences between and among populations to identify patients who may experience an ADR or a lack of drug response, thus optimizing therapy and improving outcomes. The greater the understanding of the differences in the genetic variants of DMEs and transporters that determine the differences in the exposure, efficacy, and safety of cardiovascular drugs between races/ethnicities, the greater the probability that personalized medicine will become a reality.

Abstract
Purpose Clopidogrel resistance (CR) is mostly caused by interindividual variability of the platelet inhibition of clopidogrel, which may induce cardiovascular events. The aim of this research was to evaluate whether DNAm levels of CREB5 (cg01534253) are involved in CR among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients treated with clopidogrel. Methods 72 patients(36 CR and 36 non‐CR) who underwent ACS were included in this study. The VerifyNow P2Y12 assay was selected to evaluate residual platelet reactivity, and bisulfite pyrosequencing methods was used to examine DNA methylation levels on cg01534253. Secondly, CREB5 mRNA expression was analyzed via quantitative real‐time PCR. Last, we employed logistic regression to test the interaction between genetic factors of CREB5 methylation and multiple clinical variables in CR patients. Results Subunit analysis indicated that for patients whose HbA1c levels were ≥6.5% or whose GLU levels were ≥7 mmol/L, lower methylation of cg01534253 indicated a poorer clopidogrel response. In addition, CREB5 mRNA expression was increased in CR patients with GLU levels ≥7 mmol/L. Moreover, regression analysis indicated that the values of albumin and uric acid were correlated with the incidence of CR. Conclusions Our findings were likely to provide fresh understanding for the new mechanism of platelet inhibition failure and promote individualized antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
The benefits of potent antithrombotic therapy usually come at the expense of a higher risk of bleeding. The efficacy and safety of ticagrelor in elderly East Asian populations remains debated due to the concerns about the imbalance of ischemic and bleeding risks. This study aimed to compare the impact of clopidogrel with ticagrelor on clinical outcomes in East Asian patients aged ≥75 years with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using data from an institutional registry. We assessed the treatment effect of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel based on propensity scores and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. A total of 2775 ACS patients were included, of which 235 (8.5%) were treated with ticagrelor. The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 11.9% of patients treated with ticagrelor versus 8.8% treated with clopidogrel. There was no significant association between treatment with ticagrelor and a lower risk of the primary efficacy outcome (p = .156). However, the incidences of all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02 to 2.79) and major bleeding (adjusted HR 2.20, 95% CI 1.06 to 4.56) were significantly higher in patients treated with ticagrelor than clopidogrel. In elderly patients with ACS from East Asia, the efficacy of clopidogrel was comparable to ticagrelor, while ticagrelor is associated with an increased risk of mortality and major bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefit of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for reducing ischemic events is greatest in the early period of acute coronary syndrome, and recent randomized controlled trials have investigated the unguided de-escalation strategy of changing potent P2Y12 inhibitors to less potent or reduced-dose P2Y12 inhibitors 1 month after acute coronary syndrome. However, it remains unclear which strategy is more effective and safer: the uniform unguided de-escalation strategy versus the personalized guided selection of DAPT with genotype or platelet function tests. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central were searched for articles published from database inception to September 10, 2021. Randomized controlled trials investigating DAPT using clopidogrel, low-dose prasugrel, standard-dose prasugrel, ticagrelor, unguided de-escalation strategy, and guided selection strategy for patients with acute coronary syndrome were included. Hazard ratios and relative risk estimates were extracted from each study. The estimates were pooled using a random-effects network meta-analysis. The primary efficacy outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events, defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke. The primary safety outcome was major or minor bleeding. Secondary outcomes were all-cause death, cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, stent thrombosis, and major bleeding. RESULTS This study included 19 randomized controlled trials with 69 746 patients. Compared with guided selection of DAPT, unguided de-escalation of DAPT was associated with a decreased risk of the primary safety outcome (hazard ratio, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.33-0.72]) without increased risks of major adverse cardiovascular events (hazard ratio, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.53-1.28]) or any secondary outcomes. The results were similar when the guided selection strategy was divided into platelet function-guided and genotype-guided strategies. CONCLUSIONS Compared with guided selection of DAPT, unguided de-escalation of DAPT decreased bleeding without increasing ischemic events in patients after acute coronary syndrome. If a strategy of de-escalation is chosen, these findings do not support the routine use of personalized guiding tests.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Considering that there is no definite conclusion on the efficacy and safety of switching from potent P2Y 12 inhibitors to clopidogrel, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and compared the efficacy and safety of de-escalation or not of antiplatelet therapy. The relevant randomized controlled trials were included by searching several databases. Net adverse clinical events were identified as the composite end point, which was defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke, and bleeding at 12 months after acute coronary syndromes. The efficacy end points were cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, revascularization, stroke, all-cause death, and stent thrombosis. Bleeding was designed as the safety end point. The risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals of end point events were calculated by the fixed-effects model. Six randomized controlled trials with 7627 patients met inclusion criteria. There were significant differences in the risk of net adverse clinical events (RR, 0.67, CI, 0.58-0.78, P < 0.00001) and bleeding end point (0.61, 0.52-0.71, P < 0.00001) between the 2 groups. However, there were no significant differences in the risk of all efficacy end points. In general, the strategy of de-escalation from prasugrel or ticagrelor to clopidogrel can reduce the incidence of net adverse clinical events and bleeding events in patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triple antithrombotic therapy, including dual antiplatelet therapy and oral anticoagulant (OAC), is recommended for a short-term period after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients requiring anticoagulation therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare in-hospital clinical outcomes between low-dose prasugrel (3.75 mg/day) and clopidogrel, as part of triple antithrombotic therapy, using a large database in Japan. METHODS Patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent PCI between January 2015 and December 2019, and were prescribed triple therapy with aspirin, a P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel or low-dose prasugrel), and OAC (direct oral anticoagulant: DOAC or vitamin K antagonist: VKA), were selected from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes were myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, bleeding stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, and blood transfusion. RESULTS Overall, 5,777 patients were eligible in this analysis. The patients were divided into 4 subgroups according to the type of P2Y12 inhibitor and OAC: clopidogrel/DOAC (n = 1,628), clopidogrel/VKA (n = 1,334), prasugrel/DOAC (n = 1,607), and prasugrel/VKA (n = 1,208). There was no significant difference in the incidence of death and gastrointestinal bleeding among the 4 subgroups. The prasugrel/DOAC group had significantly lower incidence of MI (OR 0.566, 95% CI 0.348-0.921). The incidence of ischemic stroke was significantly lower in the prasugrel/DOAC group (OR 0.701, 95% CI 0.502-0.979), and significantly higher in the clopidogrel/VKA group (OR 1.680, 95% CI 1.273-2.216). Need for blood transfusion was less frequent in the prasugrel/DOAC group (OR 0.729, 95% CI 0.598-0.890), and more frequent in both the clopidogrel/VKA group (OR 1.424, 95% CI 1.187-1.708) and the prasugrel/VKA group (OR 1.633, 95% CI 1.367-1.950). CONCLUSIONS Combination of low-dose prasugrel and DOAC was associated with lower incidence of MI, ischemic stroke, and blood transfusion. Low-dose prasugrel may be feasible as part of triple therapy in patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Ticagrelor (TCG), an antiplatelet agent, has low solubility and permeability; thus, there are many trials to apply the pharmaceutical technology for the enhancement of TCG solubility and permeability. Herein, we have developed the TCG high-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (HL-NLC) and solidified the HL-NLC to develop the oral tablet. The HL-NLC was successfully fabricated and optimized with a particle size of 164.5 nm, a PDI of 0.199, an encapsulation efficiency of 98.5%, and a drug loading of 16.4%. For the solidification of HL-NLC (S-HL-NLC), the adsorbent was determined based on the physical properties of the S-HL-NLC, such as bulk density, tap density, angle of repose, Hausner ratio, Carr's index, and drug content. Florite R was chosen because of its excellent adsorption capacity, excellent physical properties, and solubility of the powder after manufacturing. Using an S-HL-NLC, the S-HL-NLC tablet with HPMC 4 K was prepared, which is showed a released extent of more than 90% at 24 h. Thus, we have developed the sustained release tablet containing the TCG-loaded HL-NLC. Moreover, the formulations have exhibited no cytotoxicity against Caco-2 cells and improved the cellular uptake of TCG. In pharmacokinetic study, compared with raw TCG, the bioavailability of HL-NLC and S-HL-NLC was increased by 293% and 323%, respectively. In conclusion, we successfully developed the TCG high-loaded NLC tablet, that exhibited a sustained release profile and enhanced oral bioavailability.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The efficacy and safety of clopidogrel compared with ticagrelor as part of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients, and in older patients, with acute coronary syndrome is reviewed. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and HTA databases were searched (September 2, 2020) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Pooled risk differences (clopidogrel minus ticagrelor) were estimated using random-effects meta-analyses, and certainty of evidence was assessed according to Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation. In all, 29 RCTs were identified. The risk difference for all-cause mortality was 0.6% (-0.03% to 1.3%), cardiovascular (CV) mortality: 0.6% (95% confidence interval: 0.01% to 1.1%), myocardial infarction (MI): 0.9% (0.4% to 1.3%), stent thrombosis: 0.7% (0.4 to 1.1%), clinically significant bleeding: -1.9% (-3.7% to -0.2%), major bleeding: -0.9% (-1.6% to -0.1%), and dyspnea: -5.8% (-7.7% to -3.8%). In older patients, there were no differences between the comparison groups regarding all-cause mortality, CV mortality, and MI, whereas the risk of clinically significant bleeding and major bleeding was lower in the clopidogrel group, -5.9% (-11 to -0.9%, 1 RCT) and -2.4% (-4.4% to -0.3%), respectively. Compared with ticagrelor, clopidogrel may result in little or no difference regarding all-cause mortality. Although not evident in older patients, it cannot be excluded that clopidogrel may be slightly less efficient in reducing the risk of CV mortality and MI, whereas ticagrelor is probably more efficacious in reducing the risk of stent thrombosis. Clopidogrel results in a reduced risk of dyspnea and clinically significant bleeding and in older people probably in a reduced risk of major bleeding.

Comparison of Ticagrelor With Clopidogrel in East Asian Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials. J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 2022; 79:632-640. [PMID: 35091511 DOI: 10.1097/fjc.0000000000001225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
ABSTRACT The risk of bleeding is high in East Asians, whether East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome choose ticagrelor or clopidogrel is still controversial. In this study, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library database, and other sources were systematically searched. The primary efficacy outcome was all-cause death, the primary safety outcomes were any bleeding, PLATO major bleeding, and fatal bleeding. The secondary outcomes included vascular-cause death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, and dyspnea. A total of 8 randomized controlled trials with 3597 patients met inclusion criteria. Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor had significantly higher incidence of any bleeding [risk ratio (RR), 1.63; 1.33-1.99; P < 0.00001], PLATO major bleeding (RR 1.56; 1.15-2.12; P = 0.004), and dyspnea (RR 2.60; 1.68-4.00; P < 0.00001). However, ticagrelor was associated with a significantly reduced risk of stent thrombosis (RR 0.42; 0.19-0.92; P = 0.03). There was no significant difference in the risk of all-cause death (RR 0.87; 0.64-1.24; P = 0.44), fatal bleeding (RR 2.49; 0.79-7.86; P = 0.12), vascular-cause death (RR 0.88; 1.60-0.30; P = 0.52), myocardial infarction (RR 0.89; 0.65-1.23; P = 0.49), and stroke (RR 0.84; 0.47-1.50; P = 0.56) between the 2 groups. The present findings demonstrated that ticagrelor was associated with a higher risk of any bleeding, PLATO major bleeding, and dyspnea compared with clopidogrel in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, it significantly reduced the risk of stent thrombosis. (Registered by PROSPERO, CRD42021255215).

Comparative efficacy and safety of oral P2Y 12 inhibitors after non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes: a network meta-analysis. Open Heart 2022; 9:openhrt-2021-001937. [PMID: 35428703 PMCID: PMC9014125 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2021-001937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Currently, potent P2Y12 inhibition with the use of prasugrel or ticagrelor is the mainstay of treatment after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The 2020 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines recommend the use of prasugrel over ticagrelor in patients with non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) intended to receive invasive management (class IIa recommendation), however there are contradictory views regarding this recommendation. Aim To compare oral P2Y12 inhibitors in NSTE-ACS in terms of efficacy and safety with a focus on patients intended to proceed to invasive management. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Web of Science to identify studies that compared different oral P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor) in patients with NSTE-ACS. Efficacy outcomes included the major adverse cardiovascular events outcome and safety outcomes included minor and major bleedings. We performed a frequentist network meta-analysis. Results Nine studies (n=35 441 patients) were included in the systematic review. There was no difference between prasugrel and ticagrelor in the composite cardiovascular end point (prasugrel vs ticagrelor HR=0.80, 95% CI=0.61 to 1.06) in all patients with NSTE-ACS. In patients intended to receive invasive management, prasugrel resulted in a reduction of the composite cardiovascular end point both versus clopidogrel (HR=0.76, 95% CI=0.61 to 0.95) and ticagrelor (HR=0.74, 95% CI=0.56 to 0.98). Inconsistency was moderate and non-significant (I2=27%, total Q p=0.2). Prasugrel ranked as the most efficient treatment in the composite cardiovascular efficacy outcome, all-cause death, myocardial infarction and definite stent thrombosis, while clopidogrel ranked as safest in the bleeding outcomes. Conclusion In patients with NSTE-ACS intended to receive invasive management, an antiplatelet strategy based on prasugrel is more efficient than a similar strategy based on ticagrelor on a moderate level of evidence. This analysis supports the current recommendations by the ESC guidelines.

Impact of Ticagrelor vs. Clopidogrel in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention After Risk Stratification With the CHA2DS2-VASc Score. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:808571. [PMID: 35445091 PMCID: PMC9013766 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.808571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Backgrounds The clinical benefit of ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel in unselected patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains controversial in the real world. This study was aimed to investigate the impact of ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel in subjects with ACS without atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) after PCI based on risk stratification using the CHA2DS2-VASc score. Methods In 2016–2019, patients who underwent PCI with at least one stent implanted in the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command were classified as low- or high-risk groups according to the CHA2DS2-VASc score. Incidences of 12-month ischemia [cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke], all-cause death, Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 2,3,5 bleeding, BARC 3,5 bleeding, and net adverse clinical events (NACEs) (all-cause death, MI, stroke, or BARC 3, 5 bleeding) with aspirin plus different P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel or ticagrelor) were appraised among different risk groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) and Cox multivariate analysis were used to balance the groups. Results A total of consecutive 17,037 patients with ACS were enrolled. The optimal cut-off value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for ischemic events by the Youden test was 3 points. Among patients with high risk (CHA2DS2-VASc ≥ 3, n = 6,151), ticagrelor was associated with slightly lower risks of ischemic events (2.29% vs. 3.54%, P = 0.02) and stroke (0.39% vs. 1.08%, P = 0.01) without excessive risk of BARC 3, 5 bleeding events (2.16% vs. 2.11%, P = 0.92) compared to clopidogrel within 12 months after PCI. For patients with low risk (CHA2DS2-VASc < 3, n = 10,886), a statistically significant difference was seen in the incidence of overall 12-month BARC 2, 3, 5 bleeding events by P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (4.00% vs. 3.26%) with a similar incidence of the ischemic events (1.40% vs. 1.52%). Results in the PSM cohort and the adjustment with Cox multivariate analysis were consistent with the main outcomes. Conclusion Higher CHA2DS2-VASc scores were associated with a higher incidence of 1-year ischemic events for the patients with ACS after PCI. Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor was associated with lower ischemic events within 12 months after PCI without excessive risk of bleeding in high-risk patients but shows poor safety with excess bleeding in low-risk patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk/benefit tradeoff of dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention may vary in East Asian patients as compared with their non-East Asian counterparts. METHODS The double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized TWILIGHT trial (Ticagrelor With Aspirin or Alone in High-Risk Patients After Coronary Intervention) enrolled patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention. After 3 months of treatment with ticagrelor plus aspirin, event-free and adherent patients remained on ticagrelor and were randomly assigned to receive aspirin or placebo for 1 year. The primary end point was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding; the key secondary end point was the first occurrence of death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. RESULTS Of 9006 enrolled and 7119 randomized patients in TWILIGHT, 1169 patients (13.0%) were enrolled at 27 Chinese sites in this prespecified substudy, of whom 1028 (14.4%) patients were randomized after 3 months. The incidence of the primary end point was 6.2% in the ticagrelor+aspirin group versus 3.5% in the ticagrelor+placebo group between randomization and 1 year (hazard ratio, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.31-0.99]; P=0.048). The key secondary end point occurred in 3.4% of patients in the ticagrelor+aspirin group versus 2.4% in the ticagrelor+placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.33-1.46]; P=0.34). There was no interaction between the region of randomization (China versus the rest of the world) and randomized treatment assignment in terms of the primary or key secondary end points. CONCLUSIONS Ticagrelor monotherapy significantly reduced clinically relevant bleeding without increasing ischemic events as compared with ticagrelor plus aspirin in Chinese patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention.
