5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Clopidogrel resistance (CR) or low-responsiveness is associated with increased risk of ischemic events and can be detected by laboratory tests. This multicenter, randomized study is aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of intensive antiplatelet therapy (i.e. double clopidogrel maintenance dose and/or additional cilostazol)for patients with CR after coronary stenting.

Arm Title
intensive group
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
patients in this group received intensive antiplatelet therapy and the regimen can be adjusted according to results of platelet aggregation function test by LTA
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
aspirin, clopidogrel
Intervention Description
patients in the standard group received standard dual antiplatelet therapy: aspirin 300mg/d for 30 days followed by 100mg/d indefinitely, clopidogrel 75mg/d for at least 1 year
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
aspirin, clopidogrel, cilostazol
Intervention Description
Firstly,all patients in this group were received aspirin 300mg/d and clopidogrel 150mg/d for 3 days. Then a platelet aggregation function test was performed. The regimen will lasted for another 27 days if patients were judged as responsive to current clopidogrel dose. Patients still with clopidogrel resistance were then randomly assigned to receive clopidogrel 75mg/d plus cilostazol 100mg, twice per day or clopidogrel 150mg/d plus cilostazol 50mg, twice per day for 27 days. At 30-day, a repeat platelet aggregation function test wil performed for all patients. Then a standard dual antiplatelet regimen with aspirin 100mg/d indefinitely and clopidogrel 75mg/d for at least 1 year will be prescribed for all patients.
