Brief Summary:
This study investigates whether a platelet function testing guided approach with a short-term 1 week prasugrel treatment and a switch over to clopidogrel treatment in adequate responders to clopidogrel is non-inferior regarding the combined incidence of bleeding and thrombotic complications to a 12 month standard treatment with prasugrel in acute coronary syndrome ACS patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention PCI
Detailed Description:
Patients suffering of heart attack have highly activated blood platelets During and after invasive treatment of blocked coronary vessels percutaneous coronary intervention PCI a potent platelet inhibition is needed to reduce the risk of thrombotic complications which is particularly high within the first week after PCI On the other hand the use of potent platelet inhibitors such as prasugrel is associated with higher bleeding risk particularly when used at long-term A combination of a potent antiplatelet drug prasugrel within the first week with a less potent antiplatelet drug clopidogrel thereafter might lead to a higher net clinical benefit - means less bleeding and thrombotic complications This hypothesis is being investigated in the current trial
