Trial summary

Most previous trials support the absolute increase in bleeding risk with perioperative administration of antiplatelet. Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated that perioperative major bleeding may be related to increase cardiovascular risk. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Comparison: STOPping Versus Continuing Antiplatelet Therapy During Noncardiac Surgery and Procedures After Next Generation Drug-eluting Stent Implantation (STOP-ASP Trial)

Most previous trials support the absolute increase in bleeding risk with perioperative administration of antiplatelet. Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated that perioperative major bleeding may be related to increase cardiovascular risk. The investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of continuing versus stopping antiplatelet therapy during perioperative period in patients underwent PCI(Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) with next generation DES(Drug Eluting Stent).

Read the detailed description

Most current guidelines recommend to focus on continuing antiplatelet therapy (mostly with aspirin) during noncardiac surgery if possible. Although previous study showed efficacy of continuous antiplatelet therapy in reducing perioperative ischemic cardiovascular events, its effectiveness is still not clear between perioperative bleeding and ischemic risk. Most previous trials support the absolute increase in bleeding risk with perioperative administration of antiplatelet. Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated that perioperative major bleeding may be related to increase cardiovascular risk. The investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of continuing versus stopping antiplatelet therapy during perioperative period in patients underwent PCI(Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) with next generation DES(Drug Eluting Stent).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Continuing aspirinDrug

    Subject assigned to control arm will maintain antiplatelet therapy using aspirin only at least 7 days before surgery. If subject is taking one or more antiplatelet drugs, it should be changed (for subjects taking antiplatelet drug except aspirin at enrollment) or continued (for subject taking aspirin at enrollment) with low-dose, aspirin monotherapy before surgery. Cessation of clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel should be started at least 5 days, 3 days and 7 days before surgery, respectively. Administration of aspirin will be started at the day of cessation of previous antiplatelet regimen and maintained until third postoperative day with 100 mg once a day.

  • Stopping aspirinDrug

    Subject assigned to comparison arm will stop antiplatelet therapy before scheduled surgery or procedure. If subject is taking aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel, it should be discontinued for 7 days, 5 days, 3-5 days, and 7 days before surgery. Antiplatelet therapy may be restarted as previous regimen at fourth postoperative day or sooner unless significant bleeding risk or bleeding event occurs.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

    A composite of major perioperative adverse events

    Measured: 1 day after discharging from the hospital

  2. nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI)

    A composite of major perioperative adverse events

    Measured: 1 day after discharging from the hospital

  3. cerebrovascular accident

    A composite of major perioperative adverse events

    Measured: 1 day after discharging from the hospital

  4. definite or probable stent thrombosis

    A composite of major perioperative adverse events

    Measured: 1 day after discharging from the hospital

  5. any revascularization and BARC(Bleeding Academic Research Consortium) ≥3 bleeding during index hospitalization for surgery or procedure

    A composite of major perioperative adverse events

    Measured: 1 day after discharging from the hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuing aspirin and Stopping aspirin in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2018. 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 South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Investigator judged that this study can not be maintained because participant registration rate is low.). Results are not available in the source record.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A composite of cardiac death (time frame: 1 day after discharging from the hospital). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 May 2018.
