Study Description

Brief Summary:

Investigators try to assess the safety of 6-months or 12-months maintenance of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT, aspirin + clopidogrel) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention using the Zotarolimus-eluting, Resolute Integrity™ stent (Medtronic Vascular Inc, Santa Rosa, CA) or the BioMatrix™ stent (Biosensors. Singapore).

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Ischemic Heart Disease	Drug: 6-month dual anti-platelet therapy; Drug: 12-month dual anti-platelet therapy; Device: Zotarolimus eluting stent; Device: Biolimus eluting stent	Phase 4

Detailed Description:

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has proven the most effective treatment in reducing thrombotic complications after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation. Although the optimal duration of antiplatelet therapy is still under investigation, late stent thrombosis (ST) with DES has pushed the recommendation for duration of clopidogrel therapy for one year or more, in patients without risks for bleeding. However, recent controversies regarding the risk of stent thrombosis in patients receiving DES has brought up the issue of the appropriate duration of antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention, and a recent study reported that the use of extended DAPT for a period longer than 12 months in patients who had received DES was not significantly more effective than aspirin monotherapy in reducing the rate of myocardial infarction (MI) or death for cardiac causes.

Zotarolimus-eluting stent (Resolute Integrity™) and biolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer system (BioMatrix™) share several similarities. Both stents are flexible thin strut stents eluting sirolimus-analogue drugs targeting at mammalian target of rapamycin. The advantages that Resolute Integrity™ stent strut is quite thin and coated with highly biocompatible polymer and BioMatrix™ stent has the abluminal drug coating system with biodegradable polymer might provide clinical studies showing that both stents are quite safe as well as efficacious. Moreover, recent report showed that continuation of clopidogrel for only 3 months after implantation of Endeavor stent seems to be safe in low-to-moderate coronary artery risk group. Based on these clinical evidences, the duration of DAPT continuation for 12 months or less after implantation of Resolute Integrity™ or BioMatrix™ stent, 'the second generation DES', would be safe, however, there are no data available about this. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to assess the safety of 6-months or 12-months maintenance of DAPT in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using Resolute Integrity™ or BioMatrix™ stent.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: 6-month dual anti-platelet therapy; maintain dual anti-platelet agents for 6 months	Drug: 6-month dual anti-platelet therapy; Aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor after percutaneous coronary intervention continues for 6 months; Other Name: Aspirin and Clopidogrel
Active Comparator: 12-month dual anti-platelet therapy; maintain dual anti-platelet agents for 12 months	Drug: 12-month dual anti-platelet therapy; Aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor after percutaneous coronary intervention continues for 12 months; Other Name: Aspirin and Clopidogrel
Active Comparator: Zotarolimus eluting stent arm; implant with zotarolimus eluting stent (Resolute Integrity)	Device: Zotarolimus eluting stent; Zotarolimus eluting stent is applied to coronary stenotic lesion
Active Comparator: Biolimus eluting stent arm; implant with biolimus eluting stent (Biomatrix)	Device: Biolimus eluting stent; Biolimus eluting stent is applied to coronary stenotic lesion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. A composite of major adverse cardiac events (MACE; cardiac death, target vessel MI and ischemia driven-target lesion revascularization; TLR) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
   1. Cardiac death: Any death due to proximate cardiac cause (eg, MI, low-output failure, fatal arrhythmia), unwitnessed death and death of unknown cause, and all procedure-related deaths, including those related to concomitant treatment, will be classified as cardiac death.
   2. MI Classification and Criteria for Diagnosis is defined by the Academic Research Consortium
   3. TLR is defined as any repeat percutaneous intervention of the target lesion or bypass surgery of the target vessel performed for restenosis or other complication of the target lesion. All TLRs should be classified prospectively as clinically indicated* or not clinically indicated by the investigator prior to repeat angiography. An independent angiographic core laboratory should verify that the severity of percent diameter stenosis meets requirements for clinical indication and will overrule in cases where investigator reports are not in agreement.
