Concomitant proton-pump inhibitor use, platelet activity, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with prasugrel vs. clopidogrel and managed without revascularization: Insights from the TRILOGY ACS Trial
Conclusions Among ACS patients managed without revascularization, use of PPIs did not result in a differential antiplatelet response between prasugrel vs. clopidogrel but was associated with a lower incidence of MI with prasugrel. These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that factors besides platelet reactivity may underlie the differential risk of MI observed by treatment assignment with PPI use.

Long-term outcomes for women vs. men with unstable angina/non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction managed medically without revascularization: Insights from the TRILOGY ACS trial
Conclusions : Long-term ischemic and bleeding outcomes for in medically managed ACS patients were similar for women vs. men, as was treatment-related platelet reactivity. Women had a higher baseline risk profile and, after adjustment, significantly lower risk of the primary composite endpoint and all-cause death through 30 months.

Ticagrelor or prasugrel versus clopidogrel in elderly patients with an acute coronary syndrome: optimization of antiplatelet treatment in patients aged 70years and older – Rationale and design of the POPular AGE-study
Conclusion The POPular AGE is the first randomized controlled trial that will assess whether the treatment strategy with clopidogrel will result in fewer bleeding events without compromising the net clinical benefit in patients≥70years of age with NSTE-ACS, when compared with a treatment strategy with ticagrelor or prasugrel.

Long-term outcomes for women versus men with unstable angina/non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction managed medically without revascularization: Insights from the TaRgeted platelet Inhibition to cLarify the Optimal strateGy to medicallY manage Acute Coronary Syndromes trial
Conclusions Long-term ischemic and bleeding outcomes in medically managed ACS patients were similar for women versus men, as was treatment-related platelet reactivity. Women had a higher baseline risk profile and, after adjustment, significantly lower risk of the primary composite end point and all-cause death through 30 months.

Impact of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors on the Efficacy and Safety of Ticagrelor Compared to Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes - Analysis from the PLATO (Platelet Inhibition and Patient Outcomes) Trial
Conclusions In patients with ACS undergoing early PCI the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor as compared with clopidogrel was not modified by GPI use according to the primary efficacy and safety endpoint of the trial, although there were indications of greater benefit on definite stent thrombosis and more major or minor bleeding with ticagrelor in patients without (vs. with) GPI treatment.

A comparison of reduced-dose prasugrel and standard-dose clopidogrel in elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing early percutaneous revascularization: design and rationale of the randomized Elderly-ACS 2 Study
Conclusion The Elderly-ACS 2 study is a multicenter, randomized trial comparing a strategy of dual antiplatelet therapy with a reduced dose of prasugrel with a standard dose of clopidogrel in elderly patients with ACS undergoing percutaneous revascularization. (The Elderly ACS 2 trial: NCT01777503)

Trial design: Rivaroxaban for the prevention of major cardiovascular events post transcatheter aortic valve replacement: rationale and design of the GALILEO study
Conclusions GALILEO will test the hypothesis that a rivaroxaban-based antithrombotic strategy reduces the risk of thromboembolic complications post-TAVR with an acceptable risk of bleeding compared with the currently recommended antiplatelet therapy-based strategy in subjects without need of chronic oral anticoagulation.

A randomized clinical trial comparing long-term clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy beyond dual antiplatelet therapy after drug-eluting coronary stent implantation: Design and rationale of the HOST-EXAM trial
Conclusions The HOST-EXAM will be the first large-scale randomized controlled study to directly compare the efficacy and safety of long-term antiplatelet monotherapy beyond DAPT after DES implantation. This study will provide clinical evidence to establish optimal regimen for long-term antiplatelet therapy after DES implantation.

Association of Measured Platelet Reactivity with Changes in P2Y12 Receptor Inhibitor Therapy and Outcomes Following Myocardial Infarction: Insights into Routine Clinical Practice from the TRANSLATE-ACS Study
Conclusions Only one-third of PCI-treated MI patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity were switched to a more potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor. Intensification of antiplatelet therapy was associated with lower risk of ischemic events at 1year among HPR patients.

Use of Prasugrel versus Clopidogrel and Outcomes in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Contemporary Clinical Practice: Results from the PROMETHEUS Study
Conclusions In contemporary clinical practice, patients receiving prasugrel tend to have a lower-risk profile compared with those receiving clopidogrel. The lower ischemic and bleeding events associated with prasugrel use were no longer evident after accounting for these baseline differences.
