Background - I • Because one of strong predictor for stent thrombosis is early discontinuation of clopidogrel, prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is highly recommended. • However, prolonged use of clopidogrel is associated with many potential risks; bleeding, higher cost, and poor patient compliance or premature discontinuation. • Reports from several trials of the Endeavor zotarolimus-eluting stent (E-ZES) have shown beneficial efficacy and safety, despite a relatively short duration of DAPT.

Hypothesis & Objective Hypothesis; Three-month DAPT after E-ZES implantation (E-ZES+3-month DAPT) may be non-inferior to 12-month DAPT after implantation with other DES (standard therapy). Objectives; To compare the safety and efficacy between patients treated with E-ZES+3-month DAPT and patients treated with the standard therapy, in the RESET (REal Safety and Efficacy of a 3-month dual antiplatelet Therapy following E-ZES implantation) trial.
Study design and patients Randomization • Prospective, open label, randomized trial • Participating centers; conducted at 26 sites in Korea • Using an interactive web-based response system, study participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the E-ZES or another currently available DES. • Stratified by participating center and four clinical or lesion characteristics;
Inclusion criteria • Patients with stable angina, unstable angina, or acute MI • Diameter stenosis ≥ 50% and reference vessel diameter of 2.5 to 4.0 mm by visual estimation • Elective PCI, eligible for participation Exclusion criteria • Prior history of cerebral vascular accidents, peripheral artery diseases, thromboembolic disease or stent thrombosis • Left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% • Lesions with in-stent restenotic lesion, chronic total occlusion, or significant left main disease requiring intervention • Cardiogenic shock • Acute ST-elevation MI within 48 hours after onset of symptoms • Contraindication to antiplatelet agents • Severe hepatic (≥3 times normal values) or renal dysfunction (serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl)
Primary end-points • A composite of 1) death from cardiovascular cause, 2) myocardial infarction, 3) stent thrombosis *, 4) ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization or 5) bleeding †at 1 year post-procedure. * Stent thrombosis, defined as definite or probable stent thrombosis by ARC definition † Bleeding, defined as TIMI-defined major or minor bleeding • Post-procedure clinical follow-up; in-hospital, and after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months either by clinic visit or by telephone interview
Sample size calculation • A non-inferiority comparison • Overall incidence of the primary endpoint of two groups; E-ZES+3-month DAPT; 10% Standard therapy; 11% We hypothesized that the clinical outcome of E-ZES+3-month DAPT would be non-inferior to the other group with a non-inferiority margin of 4% for the absolute difference in risk at 12 months. Assuming a 10% drop out rate, this required an estimated sample size of 2,120 patients (1,060 for each group) to achieve 80% power for non-inferiority test and a one-sided type I error of 5%.
Statistical analysis • All comparisons, according to the intention-to-treat allocations. • Cumulative event rates, estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method (using log-rank test) and calculated the absolute differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI). • P-value <0.05 were considered statistically significant. • Statistical Analysis System software (SAS; 9.1.3., SAS Institute, NC) and R version 2.12.2 (R Development Core Team, Vienna, Austria).

Summary • E-ZES+3-month DAPT was non-inferior to the standard therapy for the primary endpoint (defined as a composite of death from CV cause, MI, stent thrombosis, TVR or bleeding at 1 year). • The occurrence of stent thrombosis was similar between the two groups: From 3 months through 12 months following the index procedure, there were no stent thrombosis events in the E-ZES+3-month DAPT group. • There were no significant difference of the other composite events or individual component of primary endpoint.
Limitations • One year of clinical follow-up may not be sufficient to assess the fatal late outcomes (e.g, very late stent thrombosis). • Because the patients with very high risks were not included, the generalized application of these results to the entire population demands careful attention. • The comparator group was not treated with a single DES type. • There was no 3-month vs. 12-month DAPT either within E-ZES or within other DES. - However, hypothesis of protection by E-ZES was the main objective of this trial and the 1:1 matched randomization between E-ZES and the comparative DES was performed.
Conclusion • E-ZES + 3-month DAPT could be safe and beneficial for the selected patients with coronary artery disease who may need to stop DAPT early after DES implantation.
Clinical implications • As an alternative PCI strategy, E-ZES + 3-month DAPT could be useful for the selected patients, • those at risk for bleeding complications • those at risk of poor compliance with medication, especially in the elderly population • those with a high probability of unexpected non-cardiac surgery or invasive procedures • those with a low risk of stent thrombosis
