Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors

The APPENDAGE study is a phase 4 multicentre randomized opened clinical trial comparing 2 different antithrombotic strategies following left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aspirin versus Aspirin + Clopidogrel after LAAC by comparing the occurrence of ischemic lesions on cerebrovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a personalised blood clot prevention plan is more effective than standard treatment in adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who have undergone a procedure to restore blood flow to their legs. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the personalized plan lower the rate of blood clots in the treated leg one year after the procedure? * Does the personalized plan lower rates of amputation, repeat procedures, bleeding, and death compared to standard treatment? Researchers will compare the personalized TARGET plan which uses a blood test to tailor each person's blood clot prevention medication to the standard treatment to see if the personalized approach works better. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the personalized TARGET plan or standard treatment after their procedure * Have blood tests at 1 week and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after their procedure * Have medications adjusted based on blood test results if assigned to the TARGET group

This international, multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) compared to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in elderly or high bleeding risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the latest generation drug-coated balloon (DCB). The study includes patients with stable or unstable coronary syndromes and aims to assess rates of ischemic and bleeding adverse events.

This phase 2 study will include patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and will first study their response to enteric coated aspirin at a dose of 80 mg per day for a 7-day period. Participants with an incomplete platelet inhibition after exposure to EC aspirin at doses of 80 mg once daily will be randomized to a random order of 3 different ASA regimens: EC ASA 162 mg once daily, EC ASA 81 mg twice daily and chewable ASA 40 mg twice daily. The aims are to determine the feasibility of a larger scale trial, and to determine the regimen associated with the lowest proportion of non-responders after randomization. Platelet function will be assessed at baseline and at day 7 of each arms of the study.

The FLORA-ACS study aims to evaluate the relationship between dysbiosis and high platelet reactivity during treatment with ticagrelor in patients with a history of acute coronary syndromes and investigate the use of rifaximin to eliminate dysbiosis and thus provide effective antiplatelet treatment.

The use of aspirin combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor (dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT) represents the standard of care for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. The TAILOR-DAPT trial aims to investigate the benefits of a score-based decision-making algorithm to guide DAPT duration compared to a standard-of-care DAPT duration without the use of risk scores in patients undergoing PCI.
