A Comparison of Prasugrel and Clopidogrel in Acute Coronary Syndrome Subjects With Unstable Angina/Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Who Are Medically Managed

Descripción detallada

Based upon the significant number of subjects with UA/NSTEMI ACS who are managed medically and their high risk for future cardiovascular events, further exploration of novel treatment strategies for this population, who are under-represented in large clinical trials, is warranted. Potential subjects will be those with a recent UA/NSTEMI event who are to be medically managed. Eligibility for this study will be determined by both the timing of the medical management decision and by prior commercial clopidogrel treatment at the time of randomization. The TaRgeted platelet Inhibition to cLarify the Optimal strateGy to medicallY manage Acute Coronary Syndromes (TRILOGY ACS) Study will assess the efficacy and safety of prasugrel and aspirin compared to the current standard of care, clopidogrel and aspirin, for long-term treatment of medically managed UA/NSTEMI ACS subjects.
