Shorter blood thinner combo may cut bleeding risk in heart patients
NCT ID NCT05418556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a personalized blood-thinner plan can reduce bleeding in people with coronary artery disease who have received a heart stent. About 3,944 participants will either get the usual dual antiplatelet therapy (two blood thinners) or a shorter course followed by just one drug. The goal is to see if the tailored approach causes less bleeding while still preventing heart attacks and stent problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a safer antiplatelet strategy that lowers bleeding risk while still preventing heart attacks and stent blockages.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 4 trial, so the drugs are already approved, but the tailored approach may not prove safer or could increase the risk of blood clots. Results may not apply to all patients.
