This study investigates the influence of a 600 mg clopidogrel reload on the outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with chronic clopidogrel therapy. The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the reload strategy, as well as compare outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stable angina.

ARMYDA - Reload: BACKGROUND • The ARMYDA-2 trial confirmed improved PCI outcome in patients pretreated (mean 6 hrs) with 600 mg clopidogrel loading , vs a 300 mg dose • In patients already receiving clopidogrel, concerns about bleeding (with reloading), and/or adequacy of antiplatelet effect (without additional loading) GOAL OF THE STUDY • To evaluate safety and effectiveness of a strategy of 600 mg clopidogrel reload in patients undergoing PCI on chronic clopidogrel therapy, and to evaluate difference in outcome in patients with ACS vs stable angina

CONCLUSIONS • The ARMYDA-Reload trial indicates that a significant proportion of patients undergoing PCI are on chronic clopidogrel therapy • Patients with stable angina who are already taking clopidogrel can safely undergo PCI without need of further reload • In patients with ACS, a 600 mg reload strategy can significantly improve outcome • Point of care aggregometry testing shows differences in platelet reactivity consistent with clopidogrel status and clinical syndrome • No major bleeding, and no increased bleeding risk are observed in the “reload” approach in either stable or ACS patients • Given the growing number of patients on clopidogrel undergoing PCI, those results may influence practice patterns in interventional pharmacology
