About this trial
In Ease Asia clinical trials, P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or clopidogrel) monotherapy after 3-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) resulted in a lower incidence of clinically significant bleeding, without increasing risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, even if acute coronary syndrome (ACS) following complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) when compared with standard DAPT. Although better understood "East Asian Paradox", finding the right CYP2C19 genotype-guided P2Y12 inhibitor selection to balance maintaining ischaemic prevention and less bleeding remains a topic in real-world clinical practice.
