Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
25086 patients were enrolled and randomized between June 2006 and August 2009 in 597 sites in 39 countries. Because the observed overall blinded event rate was substantially lower than expected, the number of patients to be enrolled was increased from 18000 to 20000, then to 25000.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Treatment assignment was performed through an automated voice randomization service (AreS). At the same time, the AReS provided allocation to a Clopidogrel treatment regimen according to a pre-defined randomization list and to a ASA dose according to a factorial design.

Measure Type Secondary
Measure Title Occurrence of Major Bleeding - Clopidogrel Dose Regimen Comparison
Measure Description Major bleeding is defined as any severe bleeding (associated with any of the following: death, leading to a drop in hemoglobin ≥ 5 g/dl, significant hypotension with the need for inotropic agents, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, requirement for surgery or for a transfusion ≥ 4 units of red blood cells or equivalent whole blood) and other major bleeding (significantly disabling bleeding, or intraocular bleeding leading to significant loss of vision or bleeding requiring transfusion of 2-3 units of red blood cells or equivalent whole blood) after validation by the independent EAC.
Time Frame 30 days  
Safety Issue Yes  

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
The analysis is on the intent-to-treat population (ITT) that consists of all patients randomized irrespective of whether they received study medication, underwent a PCI, or otherwise complied with the study protocol.
