Half Dose of Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in Acute Coronary Syndrome (HOPE-TAILOR)

Summary

East Asian patients will be required optimal dose of newer P2Y12 inhibitors (prasugrel or ticagrelor) to determine the safer treatment and better outcome. Whether lower dose of these regimens are more adequate for clinical practice in Korea is unclear. Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate efficacy and safety of half dose of new oral P2Y12 inhibitors in Korean patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
