Clinical Trial Summary

While the efficacy of aspirin for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease is evident, the effect of aspirin for primary prevention is unclear. The use of aspirin reduces cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction but increases side effects such as bleeding. Therefore, the use of aspirin for primary prevention in people without cardiovascular disease should be determined by individual risk and clinical benefit. The European guidelines have been changed to not recommend aspirin use in people without cardiovascular disease, but there are still people taking aspirin for primary prevention. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of aspirin withdrawal on cardiovascular events in patients without cardiovascular disease.

This is a single center, prospective, randomized clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of withdrawal of aspirin among patients with moderate or high cardiovascular risk.


Description:

Patients taking aspirin will be randomly assigned to a group that maintains taking aspirin and a group that discontinues to take aspirin by 1:1 manner. The follow-up duration is five years and clinical outcomes will be investigated.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE) Major adverse cardiovascular events is composite endpoint. It includes cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft), nonfatal ischemic stroke, and transient ischemic attack. 5 years
Secondary cardiovascular death Individual component of primary endpoint 5 years
Secondary nonfatal myocardial infarction Individual component of primary endpoint 5 years
Secondary nonfatal ischemic stroke Individual component of primary endpoint 5 years
Secondary coronary revascularization Individual component of primary endpoint 5 years
Secondary transient ischemic attack Individual component of primary endpoint 5 years
Secondary Bleeding Major bleeding is defined with International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria: 1) fatal bleeding; 2)Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intraarticular or pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome; 3) bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 2 g/dL or more, or leading to transfuction of two or more units of whole blood or red cells. Bleeding that is not classified as major bleeding is minor. 5 years
