Prasugrel Monotherapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Chronic Coronary Syndrome: Insights From ASET Pilot Studies. JACC. ASIA 2024; 4:171-182. [PMID: 38463674 PMCID: PMC10920039 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacasi.2023.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Background The ASET (Acetyl-Salicylic Elimination Trial) pilot studies recently investigated P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy without aspirin immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Brazil and Japan. Objectives This comparative analysis of the 2 ASET pilot studies aimed to summarize clinical outcomes and assess geographic and ethnic differences in baseline demographics and procedures. Methods Patients undergoing successful platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stent implantation for chronic coronary syndrome were included. Following the index PCI, patients received prasugrel monotherapy with a maintenance dose of 10 mg/day in Brazil and 3.75 mg/day in Japan. The primary ischemic endpoint was the composite of cardiac death, spontaneous target vessel myocardial infarction, or definite stent thrombosis. The primary bleeding endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 3 and 5 bleeding at up to 3 months. Results Of 409 enrollments, 3-month follow-up was completed in 406 patients. Mean age was 64.3 ± 8.4 years, and 73% were men. Overall, post-TIMI flow grade 3 was achieved in 99.8%. Intravascular imaging for poststent optimization was used in 16.8% and 99.6% of treated lesions in Brazil and Japan, respectively. The primary ischemic and bleeding endpoints occurred in the same patient (0.2%). No stent thrombosis events occurred. Conclusions Prasugrel monotherapy following PCI was safe and feasible in selected low-risk chronic coronary syndrome patients after optimal platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stent implantation regardless of the ethnic and geographic differences in baseline demographics, procedures, and prasugrel dosage. Randomized controlled trials will be needed to compare P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy without aspirin with the current standard of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy without aspirin immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been tested in East Asian patients, so in this study we aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of reduced dose (3.75 mg/day) prasugrel monotherapy in Japanese patients presenting with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).Methods and Results: ASET-JAPAN is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm pilot study that completed enrolment of 206 patients from 12 Japanese centers in September 2022. Patients with native de-novo coronary lesions and a SYNTAX score <23 were treated exclusively with biodegradable-polymer platinum-chromium everolimus-eluting stent(s). Patients were loaded with standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and following successful PCI and optimal stent deployment, they received low-dose prasugrel (3.75 mg/day) monotherapy for 3 months. The primary ischemic endpoint was a composite of cardiac death, spontaneous target-vessel myocardial infarction, or definite stent thrombosis. The primary bleeding endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5. At 3-month follow-up, there were no primary bleeding or ischemic events, or any stent thrombosis. CONCLUSIONS This pilot study showed the safety and feasibility of prasugrel monotherapy in selected low-risk Japanese patients with CCS. This "aspirin-free" strategy may be a safe alternative to traditional DAPT following PCI.

Abstract
The Acetyl Salicylic Elimination Trial (ASET) Japan pilot study is a multicentre, single-arm, open-label, proof-of-concept study with a stopping rule based on the occurrence of definite stent thrombosis. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of low-dose prasugrel monotherapy following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Japanese patients presenting with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) or non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Four hundred patients with a SYNTAX score <23 requiring PCI due to CCS or NSTE-ACS will be screened and considered eligible for the study. The enrolment is planned in two phases: 1) 200 patients presenting with CCS, followed by 2) 200 patients presenting with NSTE-ACS. After optimal PCI with implantation of a SYNERGY (Boston Scientific) stent, patients will be enrolled and loaded with prasugrel 20 mg, followed by a maintenance dose of prasugrel 3.75 mg once daily without aspirin continued for 3 months in Phase 1 (CCS patients), and for 12 months in Phase 2 (NSTE-ACS patients). After these follow-up periods, prasugrel will be replaced by standard antiplatelet therapy according to local practice. The primary endpoint is a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or definite stent thrombosis after the index procedure. The primary bleeding endpoint is any Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5 bleeding occurring within 3 months of the index PCI for CCS patients, or 12 months for NSTE-ACS patients. The ASET Japan study is designed to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of reduced-dose prasugrel monotherapy after PCI in East Asian patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes.

P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy versus Conventional Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-Analysis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:232. [PMID: 37259380 PMCID: PMC9958698 DOI: 10.3390/ph16020232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy is a feasible alternative treatment for patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the modern era. Clinical trials have shown that it could lower the risk of bleeding complications without increased ischemic events as compared to standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). However, the efficacy and safety of this novel approach among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are controversial because they have a much higher risk for recurrent ischemic events. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this novel approach among patients with ACS. We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy with 12-month DAPT in ACS patients who underwent PCI with stent implantation. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane library database, ClinicalTrials.gov, and other three websites were searched for data from the earliest report to July 2022. The primary efficacy outcome was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, or stroke. The primary safety outcome was major or minor bleeding events. The secondary endpoint was net adverse clinical events (NACE), defined as a composite of major bleeding and adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Five randomized controlled trials with a total of 21,034 patients were included in our meta-analysis. The quantitative analysis showed a significant reduction in major or minor bleeding events in patients treated with P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy as compared with standard DAPT(OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.46-0.75, p < 0.0001) without increasing the risk of MACCE (OR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.86-1.13, p = 0.82). The NACE was favorable in the patients treated with P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.73-0.93, p = 0.002). Of note, the overall clinical benefit of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was quite different between ticagrelor and clopidogrel. The incidence of NACE was significantly lower in ticagrelor monotherapy as compared with DAPT (OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68-0.91), but not in clopidogrel monotherapy (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 0.79-1.63). Both clopidogrel and ticagrelor monotherapy showed a similar reduction in bleeding complications (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.22-0.94; OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.44-0.83, respectively). Although statistically insignificant, the incidence of MACCE was numerically higher in clopidogrel monotherapy as compared with standard DAPT (OR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.99-2.28, p = 0.06). Based on these findings, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy with ticagrelor would be a better choice of medical treatment for ACS patients after PCI with stent implantation in the current era.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In PENDULUM mono, Japanese patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) received short-term dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) with prasugrel after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). One-year data from PENDULUM mono showed better outcomes with prasugrel monotherapy after short-term DAPT compared with matched patients in the PENDULUM registry with longer DAPT durations according to guidelines at that time. This study presents 2-year results.Methods and Results: We compared 24-month data from PENDULUM mono (n=1,107; de-escalation strategy group) and the PENDULUM registry (n=2,273; conventional strategy group); both were multicenter, non-interventional, prospective registry studies, using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method. In the PENDULUM mono group, the cumulative incidence of clinically relevant bleeding (CRB) at 24 months post-PCI (primary endpoint) was 6.8%, and that of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was 8.9%. After IPTW adjustment, the cumulative incidence of CRB was 5.8% and 7.2% in PENDULUM mono and the PENDULUM registry, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57-1.04; P=0.086), and that of MACCE was 8.0% and 9.5%, respectively (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.59-1.01; P=0.061). CONCLUSIONS Japanese PCI patients with HBR prescribed prasugrel SAPT after short-term DAPT had a lower ischemic event risk than those prescribed long-term DAPT, and this was particularly relevant for ischemic events after 1 year.

Abstract
Background: Previously published randomized atrial fibrillation (AF) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of a WOEST-like regimen (oral anticoagulant [OAC] plus P2Y12 inhibitor) in patients with AF PCI within 1 year. However, the efficacy of this regimen in real-world practice has not been fully confirmed, especially the efficacy of the WOEST-like regimen using the approved dose of prasugrel in Japan. Methods and Results: This post hoc analysis included 186 and 220 patients from the PENDULUM mono and PENDULUM registries, respectively. Endpoints were the cumulative incidences of clinically relevant bleeding (CRB) and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 12 months after PCI. Differences in the enrollment period led to an increase in OAC prescriptions (from 64.7% to 81.2%) and a reduction in the median duration of triple antithrombotic therapy (from 203.0 to 32.0 days) in the PENDULUM vs. PENDULUM mono registries, respectively. After adjustment by the inverse probability of treatment method, in patients with OAC, PENDULUM mono AF significantly reduced CRB without increasing MACCE compared with PENDULUM AF. Conclusions: A WOEST-like regimen with prasugrel may reduce CRB, without increasing MACCE, in Japanese patients with AF and high bleeding risk undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been changing in parallel with the development of drug-eluting stents (DES) and antiplatelet agents. The recommendation of dual antiplatelet therapy duration is getting shorter due to the decreased risk of stent thrombosis in new-generation DES, the use of a P2Y12 inhibitor as a monotherapy, and the increasing prevalence of high bleeding risk patients. Antithrombotic therapy after PCI has also changed due to the introduction of direct oral anticoagulants. Aspirin-free P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy is now being evaluated in several prospective studies as a novel strategy of antiplatelet therapy after PCI. This review shows a current status and provides future perspectives for the antiplatelet therapy after PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Outcomes with prasugrel single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) vs. dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in Japanese percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients with high bleeding risk (HBR) are currently unknown.Methods and Results:Data from 1,173 SAPT and 2,535 DAPT patients from the PENDULUM mono and PENDULUM registry studies (respective median DAPT durations: 108 vs. 312 days) were compared. The adjusted cumulative incidence of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 2, 3, or 5 bleeding from 1 to 12 months after PCI (primary endpoint) was 2.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9-4.2) and 4.1% (95% CI, 3.3-5.1), respectively (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.45-1.06; P=0.090). The adjusted cumulative incidences of BARC 2, 3, or 5 bleeding from 0 to 12 months after PCI (secondary endpoint) were 3.8% (95% CI, 2.7-5.3) and 5.6% (95% CI, 4.7-6.7), respectively (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.47-0.98; P=0.039). There was no significant difference in major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) from 1 to 12 months after PCI (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.63-1.37; P=0.696) and at 12 months after PCI (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.61-1.19; P=0.348) between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Prasugrel SAPT may reduce BARC 2, 3, or 5 bleeding, without increasing MACCE, in Japanese patients with HBR.

Prasugrel switching from clopidogrel after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome in Taiwanese patients: an analysis of safety and efficacy. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2021; 37:269-278. [PMID: 33813727 PMCID: PMC8926957 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-021-00771-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 03/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The recommended maintenance dose of prasugrel for East Asian populations (i.e., Japanese and Taiwanese) is 3.75 mg as part of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for the prevention of recurrent ischemia and stent thrombosis in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This modified dosage regimen has been established in studies conducted in Japan; however, the efficacy and safety of switching from clopidogrel to prasugrel DAPT among Taiwanese patients remain to be explored. In this phase IV, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study, we evaluated the 4-week pharmacodynamic response, and the 48-week safety outcomes of prasugrel 3.75 mg after a switch from clopidogrel in Taiwanese ACS patients. A total of 203 prasugrel-naïve ACS patients (over 90% male) who had received post-PCI clopidogrel DAPT for at least 2 weeks were enrolled from ten medical centers in Taiwan and subsequently switched to prasugrel 3.75 mg DAPT. Four weeks after the switch, P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) values were significantly decreased in the total cohort (mean − 18.2 ± 48.1; 95% confidence interval − 24.9 to − 11.5, p < 0.001), and there was an overall consistent antiplatelet response in the treated subjects. The proportion of patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR; PRU > 208) dropped from 23.5 to 10% (p < 0.001). Female sex was associated with a greater PRU reduction with prasugrel, whereas HPR at baseline, age ≥ 65 years, and body mass index ≥ 25 best predicted HPR at Week 4. Throughout the 48-week treatment with prasugrel, the incidences of MACE (1.0%) and TIMI major bleeding (2.0%) were rather low, accompanying an acceptable safety profile of TIMI minor (6.4%) and non-major, non-minor clinically relevant bleeding (3.0%). Overall, switching to the maintenance dose of prasugrel (3.75 mg) was observed to be effective and well tolerated among post-PCI ACS patients in Taiwan. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT03672097.

Implications and characteristics of high bleeding risk in East Asian patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.

Abstract
Recent advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technology and medication have changed the main focus of PCI from preventing ischemic to preventing bleeding events. Bleeding risk assessment is essential for preventing bleeding. Several types of assessment tools have been established, but they are heterogeneous, making interpretation, generalization, and comparison between trials difficult. In 2019, the Academic Research Consortium (ARC) introduced a new consensus document with 20 criteria to define high bleeding risk (HBR). The applicability of the ARCHBR criteria were subsequently investigated, and 4 studies have already demonstrated wide applicability worldwide, including in Japan. Nevertheless, it hase been suggested that bleeding risk is higher in people from East Asian countries than in people from Western countries. Patients with HBR have a 3-fold higher risk of major bleeding, and in Japan approximately 50% of patients undergoing PCI have HBR. In addition, patients with overlapping factors, such as older age, renal disease, and anemia, are at increased risk of bleeding, and each additional factor further increases the risk. In Japanese patients undergoing PCI, in addition to the ARC-HBR criteria, low body weight, heart failure, and peripheral arterial disease are high-risk subsets for bleeding. The addition of these factors to the ARCHBR criteria increases the prevalence of HBR in Japanese patients to 58% and improves the sensitivity of diagnostic evaluations. The additional factors are clinically important because they are often encountered in everyday practice, and Japan's newly updated guideline has adopted them as criteria for HBR. Studies found a temporal trend over the past 20 years of a gradual and consistent increase of bleeding risk. This finding contrasts with improved outcomes in people at risk of ischemic and thrombotic events. Therefore, further research is needed to eliminate the risk of bleeding while maintaining the efficacy of antithrombotic therapy after PCI.
