About
This study is an open label, multi-center, randomized trial, which is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel derivative (Pregrel®) therapy for 12 months in patients undergoing PCI compared to conventional clopidogrel (Plavix®).
Full description
Prospective, two arms, randomized multi-center trial of 1,056 patients enrolled at 3 centers in Korea.
Following angiography, patients with significant diameter stenosis >50% by visual estimation have documented myocardial ischemia or symptoms of angina and eligible for stenting without any exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to: a) Pregrel® group vs. b) Plavix®. This trial is the non-inferiority study to demonstrate that the incidence of 12 months primary end-point in Pregrel® group.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
The patient has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to any of the following medications:
Coronary anatomy not amenable to stent placement
Female of childbearing potential, unless a recent pregnancy test is negative, who possibly plan to become pregnant any time after enrollment into this study.
History of bleeding diathesis or known coagulopathy (including heparin-induced thrombocytopenia), or will refuse blood transfusions.
Gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding within the prior 3 months, or major surgery within 2 months.
Current known current platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3 or Hgb <10 g/dL.
An elective major surgical procedure is planned that would necessitate interruption of thienopyridines during the first 1 year post enrollment.
Non-cardiac co-morbid conditions are present with life expectancy <1 year or that may result in protocol non-compliance (per site investigator's medical judgment).
Patients who are actively participating in another drug or device investigational study, which have not completed the primary endpoint follow-up period.
Administration of the following medications prior to randomization: GpIIb-IIIa inhibitor and clopidogrel within 7 days (already received pretreatment), or thrombolytics within 24 hours.
Long-term (at least > 3 months) use or requirement of NSAID or anticoagulation
Patients with cardiogenic shock
Acute MI patients within symptom onset < 12 hours needing primary angioplasty
Patients with left main stem stenosis (>50% by visual estimate)
