Trial design

Randomised, open-label, control intervention: full-dose potent p2y12 inhibitor (prasugrel 10 mg qd or ticagrelor 90 mg bid) continued as previously prescribed; clopidogrel arm: clopidogrel 75 mg qd (if prior prasugrel 10 mg qd no loading dose; if prior ticagrelor 90 mg bid then clopidogrel 600 mg loading dose 24 hours after last ticagrelor followed by 75 mg qd maintenance); prasugrel arm: prasugrel 5 mg qd (if prior prasugrel 10 mg qd no loading dose; if prior ticagrelor 90 mg bid then prasugrel 60 mg loading dose 24 hours after last ticagrelor followed by 5 mg qd maintenance); ticagrelor arm: ticagrelor 60 mg bid maintenance (no loading dose required irrespective of prior treatment). trial in Italy.
