Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this registry is to gather more information on the efficacy and safety of various antithrombotic regimens. The registry collects data on patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and an arterial event within the past 12 months, on treatment with either A) a VKA with therapeutic range, INR 2.0-3.0 plus low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg daily), B) a VKA alone with therapeutic range, INR 2.0-3.0, C) a VKA with therapeutic range, INR 3.0-4.0, or D) with a dual antiplatelet regimen. The follow-up is 2 years.

Clinical Trial Description

The optimal antithrombotic management of patients with antiphospholipid syndrome and arterial thrombotic events is unclear. The guidelines provide several options, mostly with vitamin K antagonist with/without an antiplatelet agent. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was in a meta-analysis potentially effective, but included studies were few and small. The primary aim is to compare a vitamin K antagonist (VKA), i.e. warfarin, acenocoumarol, phenprocoumon etc, with international normalized ratio 2.0-3.0 plus low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg) with DAPT - typically low-dose aspirin plus clopidogrel (75 mg daily) but other combinations will be acceptable. The registry will also include patients treated with VKA alone at standard- or high-intensity, since this is recommended and will serve as reference groups in comparison with VKA + low-dose aspirin and versus DAPT. The outcomes are (efficacy) arterial or venous thromboembolism, vascular death or (safety) major bleeding. A secondary objective is to analyze how the cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, diabetes, and heart failure), venous thrombotic risk factors (previous venous thromboembolism, cancer, immobility, chronic inflammatory disease) and anti-phospholipid profile contribute to recurrent arterial thrombosis. ;
