Personalizing blood thinners after carotid stenting could prevent heart attacks and strokes
NCT ID NCT05566301
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people with narrowed carotid arteries who are getting a stent. Some people do not respond well to the common blood thinner clopidogrel. The study compares giving these 'non-responders' a different drug, ticagrelor, versus continuing clopidogrel in those who respond. Researchers will track deaths, major heart events, and bleeding for up to three months after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Clopidogrel and Ticagrelor
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the right antiplatelet drug for each patient, potentially reducing heart attacks, strokes, and bleeding after carotid stenting.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may show associations but not prove cause. The findings may not apply to all patients or settings.
