About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Sequential Monotherapy of Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Acute Coronary Syndrome

The MATE study is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, investigator-initiated clinical trial aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of sequential monotherapy of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after coronary intervention. Standard DAPT of aspirin plus ticagrelor will be given for the first 1 month after PCI. After 1 month, event-free subjects will be randomized at 1:1 ratio into receiving standard DAPT (DAPT) until 12months , or switch to ticagrelor monotherapy for another 5 months , and further de-escalated to monotherapy of clopidogrel for the last 6 months(SAPT).

Read the detailed description

Compared with clopidogrel, ticagrelor inhibit platelet aggregation faster and stronger, and significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events. In recent years, it has been given the strongest recommendation for antiplatelet therapy in ACS patients. Nevertheless, it was shown that excessive bleeding events significantly affect its antithrombotic advantage and better safety by downgrading regimen can seek more net clinical benefit. However, there are still huge controversies regarding the degree or timing of the downgrading regimen.

GLOBAL LEADERS study shortened the course of DAPT after PCI to 1 month in "all-comer" population of coronary heart disease , and then downgraded to ticagrelor monotherapy and continued 23 months. At 12 months, compared with standard DAPT, there was neither increased risk of thrombotic events, nor significant reduction in BARC3 or type 5 major bleeding events, which suggested satisfactory safety of 1-month DAPT, and relative insufficiency de-escalation. The most recent STOPDAPT-2 ACS study not only adapted 1-month DAPT (prasugrel or clopidogrel + aspirin) in ACS patients, but also directly downgraded to clopidogrel monotherapy. Compared with standard DAPT of clopidogrel + aspirin, clopidogrel monotherapy significantly reduces the risk of bleeding, however, it also increases the thrombotic risk. Overrall, the investigators believe that de-escalated antiplatelet therapy are most suitable in ACS patients undergoing PCI. Short-course DAPT based on potent P2Y12 inhibitors will not increase the thrombotic risk, but continuous application of one single P2Y12 receptor antagonists may be difficult to take into account both the antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding benefit, while the sequential monotherapy of ticagrelor and clopidogrel may be more conducive to balancing the two needs.

In summary, the current project aimed at"all-comer"population of ACS, for the first time proposed a de-escalated antiplatelet regimen of sequential monotherapy of ticagrelor and clopidogrel. In this project, ticagrelor monotherapy will be used 1 month after PCI, and the anti-platelet strength will be further downgraded 5 months later to clopidogrel (75 mg) monotherapy till 1 year, which is supposed to achieve a better safety benefit and a non-inferior efficacy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Heyang Wang, MD (86 0571-87783759, whysmmu@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

NACCE (time frame: 1-12months after PCI (11 months after randomization)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04937699, which also lists 12 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2024.
