Drug-Coated Balloon Versus Drug-Eluting Stent for Treatment of De-Novo Coronary Lesions in Patients With High Bleeding Risk-2
South Korea1,200 participantsStarted 2025-04-07
Plain-language summary
A prospective, multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled, and superiority trial. The trial will compare clinical outcomes between discontinuation of antiplatelet agent and continuation of antiplatelet agent in HBR patients with chronic coronary syndrome treated by DCB angioplasty and standard duration of DAPT, followed by maintenance of single antiplatelet agent without clinical event for at least 1 year from the index procedure.

Inclusion criteria
. Subject must be at least 19 years of age
. Subject who is able to understand risks, benefits and treatment alternatives and sign informed consent voluntarily.
. Patients with chronic coronary syndrome and at least one de novo lesion of reference vessel size ≥2.25 mm, treated with DCB angioplasty
. Patients with high bleeding risk: one or more of the criteria listed A. Age ≥ 75 years old B. Baseline Hemoglobin \<11 g/dl (or anemia requiring transfusion during the 4 weeks prior to randomization) C. Any prior intra-cerebral bleed D. Hospital admission for bleeding during the prior 12 months E. Non skin cancer diagnosed or treated \< 3 years F. Planned daily NSAID (other than aspirin) or steroids for \>30 days after PCI G.

Expected non-compliance to secondary prevention medications after PCI for other medical reasons
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Patients who completed standard duration of DAPT (1-3months) and followed by maintenance of single antiplatelet agent (aspirin or P2Y12 inhibitor) for at least 1 year from index procedure.
. No bleeding (BARC 2, 3, or 5 bleeding) or ischemic events (cardiovascular death, non-fatal MI, or clinically-indicated repeat revascularization) for at least 1 year from index procedure.
Exclusion criteria
. Patients unable to provide consent
. Patients with acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina
. Patients with known intolerance to aspirin, P2Y12 inhibitors, or components of DCB
. Patients with indication of oral anticoagulant
. Patients with concomitant drug-eluting stent implantation during index PCI
. Patients with history of ischemic stroke or previous myocardial infarction
. Patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease
. Patients with angiographic findings of A. Left main coronary artery disease B. In-stent restenosis is the cause of target lesion C. Target lesion in bypass graft D. True bifurcation lesion that requires upfront 2-stenting E. Patients with residual stenosis on non-target vessels after PCI (\>70% diameter stenosis or FFR≤0.80)
