Although an inhibitory drug interaction exists between them, comprehensive large-scale studies for its validation are lacking. We investigated interactions between CCBs and clopidogrel using a large-scale national registry of patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). <b>Methods and Results:</b> The Platelet function and genoType-Related long-term Prognosis-Platelet Function Test consortium investigates the association between platelet function test and long-term prognosis during dual antiplatelet therapy including clopidogrel in patients using drug-eluting stents. We compared the <i>ex vivo</i> platelet reactivity using the VerifyNow P2Y12 test and clinical outcomes between CCB users and non-users. Between 2003 and 2018, 11 714 patients were enrolled and categorized into two groups according to CCB usage. A composite endpoint encompassing all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, or stroke was defined as a major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE). During the 5-year follow-up period, no significant differences were observed in P2Y12 reaction units (215.8 ± 84.7 vs 218.4 ± 76.7, <i><u>P</u></i> = .156), MACCEs, major bleeding, or high platelet reactivity rates, even after adjusting for propensity score matching (PSM) and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). When limited to the high platelet reactivity cohort (≥252 PRU), the results remained consistent for MACCE [PSM-adjusted, HR: 0.923 (0.644-1.323), <i><u>P</u></i>-value .663; IPTW-adjusted, HR: 1.300 (0.822-2.056), <i><u>P</u></i>-value .262]. <b>Conclusions:</b> CCB and clopidogrel co-administration does not appear to significantly impact clopidogrel responsiveness or clinical outcomes. Despite these promising results, further investigation may be warranted. <b>Clinical trial registration:</b> Platelet Function and genoType-Related Long-term progGosis in DES-treated Patients: A Consortium From Multi-centered Registries [PTRG-DES]; NCT04734028.</p>","PeriodicalId":15281,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics","volume":"29 ","pages":"10742484241298150"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142648342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
