AIMS: Platelet function testing (PFT)-guided de-escalation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been shown to reduce bleeding risk without increasing ischaemic events. Patients with high atherothrombotic risk (ATR) remain a challenging subgroup for such strategies. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of early PFT-guided DAPT de-escalation according to ATR status.
METHODS AND RESULTS: In the TROPICAL-ACS trial, 2610 ACS patients were randomized to standard 12-month prasugrel therapy or PFT-guided DAPT de-escalation. For this post hoc analysis, patients were stratified by ATR. High ATR was defined as age ≥ 65 years, polyvascular disease, or ≥2 risk factors (diabetes, smoking, or renal dysfunction). Hazard ratios (HRs) for clinical endpoints were derived using multistate Cox regression. High-ATR patients (n = 990) had a higher incidence of the primary net clinical benefit endpoint-composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 2-5 bleeding-compared with low-ATR patients (n = 1620) (11.0% vs. 6.7%; HR 1.67, 95% confidence interval 1.28-2.18; P < 0.001). Platelet function testing-guided de-escalation showed no significant interaction by ATR status for the primary endpoint [high ATR: 10.5% vs. 11.5%, HR 0.90 (0.61-1.32), P = 0.586; low ATR: 5.6% vs. 7.7%, HR 0.71 (0.48-1.04), P = 0.082; Pinteraction = 0.394] or ischaemic events [high ATR: 3.7% vs. 4.4%, HR 0.83 (0.44-1.56); low ATR: 1.8% vs. 2.6%, HR 0.68 (0.35-1.34); Pinteraction = 0.666].
CONCLUSION: Early PFT-guided de-escalation from prasugrel to clopidogrel was safe across atherothrombotic risk categories, supporting individualized DAPT optimization in ACS patients with both low and high ischaemic risk.
