Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a single-centre, randomized, active controlled, open label clinical trial. The primary hypothesis is that ticagrelor will show superiority over clopidogrel immediately after CTO-PCI (chronic total occlusion - percutaneous coronary intervention)


Description:

The hypothesis is tested in the first randomization. Both antiplatelet therapy will be used in both arms at the approved doses and for the approved duration therapy of 1-year. The secondary hypothesis will test the role of ticagrelor/clopidogrel alone and together with ABSORB BVS implantation in the recovery of vascular function at long-term. This hypothesis is tested in the second randomization. The angiographic follow-up will be scheduled at 1 or 3-year follow-up in order to test the secondary hypothesis either at the moment of the end of the antiplatelet therapy or at the moment of scaffold bioresorption.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients of both sexes, older than 18 years old.

- Written informed consent obtained.

- Patients with stable angina pectoris (Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) Class 1, 2, 3 or 4) or patients with documented silent ischemia by stress test during the last year.

- Patients eligible for coronary revascularization in a coronary chronic total occlusion, which was angiographically documented in a previous coronary angiography during the last year.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Women who are pregnant or women of childbearing potential who do not use adequate contraception.

- Known allergies to aspirin, clopidogrel bisulfate (Plavix ®), ticagrelor (BriliqueTM) heparin, or a sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.

- Participation in other studies.

- Life expectancy of less than one year or factors making clinical and/or angiographic follow-up difficult.

- Planned cardiac surgery or major non-cardiac surgery.

- The subject has a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.

- The subject suffered disabling stroke within the past year.

- Known major hematologic, neoplastic, metabolic, gastrointestinal or endocrine dysfunction, which, in the judgment of the Investigator, may affect the patient's ability to complete the study.

- History of malignancy, except in patients who have been disease-free >5 years or whose only malignancy has been basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma.

- Inability to provide informed consent
