About MASTER DAPT Study

MASTER DAPT is the largest multi-center randomized controlled study on the use of short duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in high bleeding risk patients following stenting procedures with Ultimaster™/Ultimaster™TanseiTM drug-eluting bioresorbable polymer stents (DES).

MASTER DAPT study is sponsored by the European Cardiovascular Research Institute (ECRI, Rotterdam, The Netherlands) and supported with a restricted research grant by Terumo Europe. The study is managed by global CROs and data management group (CERC, Paris, France, Cardialysis, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, CV quest. Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan and CTU, Bern, Switzerland).

MASTER DAPT Study Highlights

MASTER DAPT Study Design - A true randomized DAPT study

MASTER DAPT has met the three coprimary endpoints

• 1-month DAPT after implantation of Ultimaster™ family DES does not increase the ischemic risk, but reduces the bleeding risk in high bleeding risk patients

• Patients with acute coronary syndrome, and patients who underwent complex or multivessel PCI were included

• Supports reduction of DAPT duration to 1 month after implantation of Ultimaster™ family DES in a broad cohort of high-bleeding risk patients

• MASTER DAPT included patients at high bleeding risk who had undergone implantation of Ultimaster™ family stent; Results may not extend to patients who are not at high bleeding risk or who receive other stent types.
