Prospective, Randomized Trial of Ticagrelor Versus Prasugrel in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Summary

Aim of the randomized, open-label, multicenter ISAR-REACT 5 trial is to assess whether ticagrelor is superior to prasugrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome and planned invasive strategy in terms of clinical outcomes.
