Conventional Therapy
Subjects with high bleeding risk (HBR) on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and aspirin, that have undergone successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be stratified by the CYP2C19 LOF allele within one week of DAPT initiation. In this group, subjects identified as CYP2C19*2 or*3 LOF allele carrier will be given prasugrel or ticagrelor monotherapy.
Subjects with high bleeding risk (HBR) on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and aspirin, that have undergone successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) will be stratified by the CYP2C19 LOF allele within one week of DAPT initiation. In this group, subjects identified as CYp2C19*2 or*3 LOF allele non-carriers will continue with clopidogrel monotherapy.
