Brief Summary: Long-term aspirin ASA is the standard recommended antithrombotic therapy in patients with stable coronary artery disease CAD especially following stenting Class I Level A
Long-term oral anticoagulation OAC is the standard antithrombotic therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation AF associated with one or more risk factor for stroke Class I Level A
During the first year following acute coronary syndrome ACS andor percutaneous coronary intervention PCI several studies evaluating the combination of OAC treatment and antiplatelet therapy are either already published or ongoing
At distance of the index ACS andor PCI patients with stable CAD and concomitant AF remain at particular high-risk of ischemic 3 to 4 times higher as compared to patients with stable CAD without AF and bleeding events Antithrombotic management of these patients is subsequently highly challenging in clinical practice The European task force suggests that the use of a full-dose anticoagulant monotherapy without any antiplatelet therapy should be the default strategy in such patients with both AF and stable CAD
However evidences are sparse and weak to support such a strategy only observational studies with many biases and no randomized trial has assessed this question These patients especially those at high-risk of recurrent ischemic events post- ACS diabetes multivessel CAD may benefit from the combination of OAC and aspirin at long-term Indeed the crude event rate of ischemic events is much higher than the crude event rate of bleeding in this specific population Ischemic events are 2 to 3 times more frequent than bleeding in daily practice
The benefitrisk ratio of these two different strategies ASA in combination with OAC vs OAC alone in patients at high-risk of recurrent coronary and vascular events remains unknown Dual therapy with full-dose anticoagulation and ASA may lead to higher risk of major bleeding while stopping ASA in stabilized high-risk patients after PCI may lead to poorer outcome regarding ischemic events
The coordinating investigators therefore designed a double blind placebo controlled trial in order to assess the optimal antithrombotic regimen that should be pursued long-life in this subset of patients

AQUATIC is a prospective randomized double-blind placebo controlled parallel-group multi-center study

Randomization into 2 treatment groups and stratified on study center type of OAC VKA vs DOAC antithrombotic treatment received at the time of inclusion dual therapy combining single antiplatelet therapy OAC vs OAC alone

Experimental group Patients intaking full-dose OAC ASA 100mg od

Control group Patients intaking full-dose OAC Placebo of ASA 100mg od

Note

For Apixaban in case of 1 of the followings 80 years old weight 60kg creatinine level 133μmoll Or a creatinine clearance between 30 and 50 mlmin Cockroft Formula the dose of Apixaban will be reduced to 25 mg bid
For Rivaroxaban in case of moderate creatinine clearance Cockroft Formula between 30 and 50 mlmin or severe renal insufficiency between 15 and 29 mlmin the dose of Rivaroxaban will be reduced to 15 mg od
For Dabigatran in case of moderate creatinine clearance Cockroft Formula between 30 and 50 mlmin with age between 75 and 80 years the dose of Dabigatran will be 150 mg bid or 110 mg bid according to the ischemic and hemorrhagic risk of the patient In case of age 80 years andor concomitant administration of Verapamil the dose of Dabigatran will be reduced to 110 mg bid
For VKA target INR International Normalised Ratio between 2 and 3

The primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate in high-risk stabilized patients after PCI requiring also anticoagulation for AF the superiority of the dual therapy ASA 100mg od full-dose of OAC for 24-48 months versus full-dose of OAC alone placebo on a composite endpoint associating cardio-vascular CV mortality myocardial infarction stroke coronary revascularization systemic embolism and acute limb ischemia

The primary safety objective is major bleeding ISTH International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis

The secondary efficacy objectives are evaluation of efficacy of dual therapy SA 100mg od OAC full ose versus OAC alone placebo for
