Comparing anti-platelet therapy durations in kidney disease patients after stent placement

Appropriate Duration of Anti-Platelet straTegy in Patients With Advance Chronic Kidney Disease After New Generation Drug Eluting Stents (ADAPT-CKD)

Not applicable Interventional Yonsei University · NCT04708587

This study is testing whether taking anti-platelet medication for 6 months instead of 3 months helps people with advanced kidney disease feel better after getting heart stents.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of different durations of dual anti-platelet therapy, specifically aspirin combined with either clopidogrel or prasugrel, in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention using new generation drug eluting stents. It is a prospective, open-label, multicenter randomized trial that will compare the effects of at least 6 months of therapy against 3 months or less. The study seeks to determine the optimal duration of anti-platelet therapy to improve patient outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 19 years old with advanced chronic kidney disease (Stages IIIb, IV, V) who have received a new generation drug eluting stent.

Not a fit: Patients over 85 years old, those with a high risk of bleeding, or those requiring oral anticoagulants may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to optimized anti-platelet therapy durations, improving safety and efficacy for patients with chronic kidney disease.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored anti-platelet therapy durations, but this specific approach in advanced chronic kidney disease patients is relatively novel.
