NCT ID NCT06742931

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether people with chronic heart disease and a high risk of bleeding can stop taking antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners) one year after a balloon angioplasty procedure. Researchers will compare those who stop versus those who continue the medication, tracking major bleeding events and heart-related outcomes over time. The trial aims to enroll 1,200 participants across multiple centers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

antiplatelet agent discontinuation (no drug given; intervention is stopping medication)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that some heart patients can safely stop taking blood thinners after a year, lowering their risk of serious bleeding.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, and stopping blood thinners might increase the risk of heart attacks or clots. Results may not apply to all patients.
