DAPT-Lp(a)
Brief Summary:
1. Main objective Among patients with elevated Lp(a) levels (\>30mg/dL) who did not experience cardiovascular events or BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding within 12 months after PCI and DES implantation, was it possible to reduce the primary adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (a composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke) by extending the duration of DAPT (24 months) compared to the standard duration (12 months)? (Efficacy test)
2. Secondary Objectives Key secondary research objective: Among patients with elevated Lp(a) levels (\> 30mg/dL) who underwent PCI and received DES implantation within 12 months after the procedure, and who did not experience cardiovascular events or BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding, whether extending the DAPT duration (24 months) compared to the standard DAPT duration (12 months) does not result in an increase in clinical net adverse events (a composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, and BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding) compared to the standard DAPT duration. (Non-inferiority test) Other secondary research objectives: To evaluate the differences in the incidence of the composite endpoint consisting of BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding (the primary safety endpoint) between extending the DAPT duration (24 months) and the standard DAPT duration (12 months); the differences in the incidence of the composite endpoint consisting of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of the composite endpoint consisting of all-cause death and myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of stent thrombosis; the differences in the incidence of any myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of target vessel myocardial infarction; the differences in the incidence of stroke; the differences in the incidence of ischemic stroke; the differences in the incidence of hemorrhagic stroke; the differences in the incidence of cardiovascular death; the differences in the incidence of all-cause death; the differences in the incidence of repeat revascularization; the differences in the incidence of target vessel revascularization; the differences in the incidence of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding; the differences in the incidence of any bleeding.

Detailed Description:
Lp(a) levels play an important role in predicting subsequent ischemic events in patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD), especially those who underwent PCI. However, there are still no approved pharmacologic therapies that specifically target high Lp(a) levels.
DAPT consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor represents the cornerstone of pharmacological treatment aimed at preventing thrombotic complications after PCI. Considering that Lp(a) has a prothrombotic effect through its inactive, plasminogen-like protease domain on apo(a), the investigators speculate that prolonged DAPT may have a beneficial effect on reducing future ischemic events in patients with elevated Lp(a) levels after PCI. Some observational studies revealed that DAPT \> 1 year was significantly associated with lower risk of cardiovascular events compared with DAPT ≤ 1 year in patients with elevated Lp(a) levels who were event-free at 1 year after PCI with DES. However, the relative efficacy and safety of prolonged DAPT versus standard DAPT in this high-risk population has never been assessed in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
The DAPT-Lp(a) trial is a multicenter, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial with blinded end-point evaluation. Consecutive patients with Lp(a) levels\>30mg/dL who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to 24-month DAPT group or 12-month DAPT group. The investigators hypothesise that, in patients with Lp(a) levels \>30mg/dL who were event-free at 1 year after PCI with DES, 24-month DAPT is superior to 12-month DAPT with respect to major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (primary end point), while it is non-inferior to 12-month DAPT with respect to net adverse clinical events (key secondary end point).
The investigators estimated that 3,300 patients would be needed to provide the necessary number of confirmed endpoints to test the study hypothesis. Patients will be followed up at 3, 6, 9, 12 months after randomization. All analyses will be performed according to the intention-to-treat (ITT) principle.
