Aspirin 50 mg vs 100 mg with a P2Y12 inhibitor after PCI

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of Aspirin 50mg Versus 100mg in Combination With a P2Y12 Inhibitor After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Randomized, Open-label, Active-controlled, Non-inferiority Trial

Run by Jilin University · NCT07846462 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether a 50 mg daily aspirin dose, when used with a P2Y12 inhibitor after PCI, works as well as 100 mg with similar safety for people staying on DAPT for 12 months.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–85 with ACS or CCS who have successfully undergone PCI and plan at least 12 months of DAPT.

Probably not a fit

Patients at high bleeding risk or those who do not respond adequately to low-dose aspirin may not benefit and could be exposed to risk without advantage.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, open-label, randomized non-inferiority study in China compares low-dose (50 mg) versus standard-dose (100 mg) enteric-coated aspirin, each plus a P2Y12 inhibitor, in adults who have recently had PCI and will continue DAPT for at least 12 months. Participants are randomized 1:1 and followed for 12 months, with MACCE and safety outcomes adjudicated by an independent committee. The choice of P2Y12 inhibitor (ticagrelor or clopidogrel) is per physician discretion. An independent data monitoring committee oversees safety, and events are defined by standardized international criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If 50 mg aspirin is non-inferior, patients could have similar protection with potentially lower bleeding risk and exposure to a smaller aspirin dose.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests low-dose aspirin may provide comparable antiplatelet effects with similar safety in some settings, but results vary by population and regimen.
