In patients with a myocardial infarction (MI) treated medically alone, the objective of the PANTHEON trial is to evaluate if ticagrelor monotherapy reduces bleeding events, without an increase in patient-oriented ischemic events, compared with standard dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and ticagrelor for 12 months.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Bleeding — From randomization to 12 months Time to first BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding
Patient-oriented ischemic clinical endpoint — From randomization to 12 months Time to first composite of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, or any coronary revascularization
