Condition(s) studied

Coronary Artery Disease

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Clopidogrel treatment groupNo antiplatelet or anticoagulant group

Clopidogrel treatment group: Patients assigned to the clopidogrel treatment group will maintain clopidogrel 75mg once a day for at least 5 years.

No antiplatelet or anticoagulant group: Patients assigned to the no antiplatelet or anticoagulant group will not prescribe antithrombotics for at least 5 years. However, when there is a medical need for antithrombotic therapy during the follow-up, the prescription of antithrombotics is permitted with reporting to the research board.

Study summary

The investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel for primary prevention in patients diagnosed with coronary atherosclerosis on imaging that did not require revascularization therapy.

The trial will test the hypothesis that clopidogrel is beneficial in preventing major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis identified on imaging.
