Plain-language summary
1. Objective Objective: \> The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a short-term (1-month) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) is non-inferior to the standard 6-month DAPT in patients undergoing Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty for de novo small coronary artery disease.
Methods: \> This is an open-label, randomized, non-inferiority trial. Patients will be assigned to either 1 month or 6 months of DAPT after successful DCB treatment. The study will compare the incidence of Net Adverse Clinical Events (NACE)-a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, and major bleeding-between the two groups from 1 to 12 months post-procedure.
2. Background Following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is essential to prevent stent thrombosis and ischemic events. While short-duration DAPT (e.g., 4 weeks) has shown benefits in patients at high bleeding risk, evidence regarding the optimal DAPT duration specifically after Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) angioplasty for small vessel disease remains insufficient. This study aims to fill this clinical gap by comparing 1-month versus 6-month DAPT strategies.
Primary Objective To demonstrate the non-inferiority of 1-month DAPT (followed by SAPT up to 12 months) compared to 6-month DAPT in terms of Net Adverse Clinical Events (NACE) occurring between 1 and 12 months post-randomization.
Secondary Objectives To evaluate ischemic safety (CV death, MI, TLR). To assess bleeding safety (BARC type 2, 3, or 5). To analyze individual components of the primary composite endpoint, including all-cause death and stent thrombosis.

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?
