Abstract
The ultra-short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy might be promising after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, CYP2C19 loss-of-function (LOF) alleles have been reported to diminish the effect of clopidogrel, and clopidogrel monotherapy has a concern about the increased ischemic risk for patients with such alleles. STOPDAPT-2 is the multicenter prospective open-label, but adjudicator-blinded randomized control study comparing 1-month DAPT followed by clopidogrel monotherapy with the standard 12-month DAPT after PCI with cobalt–chromium everolimus-eluting stents. Among the participants of STOPDAPT-2, selected patients participated in a substudy of the CYP2C19 gene test. Patients with two CYP2C19*2 or *3 alleles were defined as the poor metabolizer (PM), one allele as the intermediate metabolizer (IM), and no allele as the extensive metabolizer (EM). The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular and bleeding events, as defined in STOPDAPT-2. Among 750 (24.9%) patients with known CYP2C19 genotypes, 129 (17.2%) were PM, 367 (49.0%) were IM, and 254 (33.9%) were EM. The hazard ratios of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT for the primary endpoint in PM, IM, and EM strata were 0.66 (95% CI 0.11–3.94), 1.94 (95% CI 0.60–6.31), and 0.21 (95% CI 0.02–1.78), respectively (P interaction = 0.17), and those for cardiovascular composite endpoint were 1.00 (95% CI 0.14–7.10), 6.10 (95% CI 0.75–49.55), and 0.26 (95% CI 0.03–2.34), respectively (P interaction = 0.12). In conclusion, for the selected patients in STOPDAPT-2 trial, CYP2C19 LOF alleles had no significant, consistent interaction with the effect of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT for clinical outcomes, although the study was overtly underpowered.
