Rationale and design of the OPT-BIRISK double blinded, placebo controlled randomized trial 2020-07-09 .txt text/plain 3535 165 42 BACKGROUND: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is the cornerstone for prevention ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f 3 / 21 Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor is the cornerstone to prevent stent thrombosis and atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and/or undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) [1] [2] [3] . In order to test this hypothesis, we designed the Optimal antiPlatelet Therapy for high Bleeding and Ischemic RISK patients (OPT-BIRISK) trial, to determine if extended clopidogrel monotherapy will be superior to DAPT with clopidogrel and aspirin following completion of 9 to 12 months DAPT for ACS patients who received drug eluting stent (DES) implantation and possess both high bleeding and high ischemic characteristics. ./cache/cord-028907-m9psxg1f.txt ./txt/cord-028907-m9psxg1f.txt
