Aspirin Dosing: A Patient-Centric Trial Assessing Benefits and Long-term Effectiveness (ADAPTABLE)
PI(s): Matthew Roe, MD, Duke University
Study Design: Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial
Project Summary: Clinicians often prescribe aspirin to prevent strokes and heart attacks in people living with heart disease. Research has yet to determine the best dose to use to get maximum benefit while minimizing risks, like increased bleeding. ADAPTABLE researchers will look at benefits and side effects not just overall, but also by gender, age, ethnicity, and race, as well as in patients with medical conditions in addition to heart disease, such as diabetes. It’s a far cry from traditional studies that assess what works for the "average" patient. Patients who have heart disease and are at high risk of having a heart attack or stroke will be randomly assigned to use low or regular strength aspirin and followed for up to 30 months.
