Introduction

The ASET (Acetyl Salicylic Elimination Trial) pilot study (NCT03469856) is designed to evaluate the hypothesis that a single antiplatelet therapy with prasugrel starting immediately after the procedure is feasible and safe in patients selected after successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with new-generation biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.

Methods

STUDY DESIGN

The ASET pilot study is designed as a multicentre, single-arm, open-label, proof-of-concept pilot trial. Based on previous pilot studies with similar designs, a sample of 200 patients will be enrolled from 12 centres in Brazil with a stopping rule based on the occurrence of definite ...
