Popis: Anticoagulants are the standard therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and antiplatelet therapy for those with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, compelling clinical evidence is still lacking regarding the long-term maintenance strategy with the combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs in patients with AF and stable CAD.The EPIC-CAD trial is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, open-label randomized trial comparing the safety and efficacy of 2 antithrombotic strategies in patients with high-risk AF (CHAAs of December 2021, approximately 901 patients had been randomly enrolled over 2 years at 18 major cardiac centers across South Korea. The completed enrollment is expected at the mid-term of 2022, and the primary results will be available by 2023.EPIC-CAD is a large-scale, multicenter, pragmatic design trial, which will provide valuable clinical insight into edoxaban-based long-term antithrombotic therapy in patients with high-risk AF and stable CAD.
