What this Trial Is About
This study evaluates whether fexuprazan is effective in preventing upper gastrointestinal bleeding and related upper gastrointestinal clinical events in high bleeding risk patients who require dual antiplatelet therapy after coronary stent implantation. A total of 400 participants at a single center will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio within 48 hours after stent implantation to receive either fexuprazan 40 milligrams or lansoprazole 30 milligrams once daily for 6 months. The study will compare upper gastrointestinal clinical events during follow-up

You will not qualify if you...
- History of hypersensitivity to the study drug components or benzimidazole-based drugs
- Contraindications or allergies to antiplatelet agents
- Genetic blood coagulation disorders
- Severe liver cirrhosis, thrombocytopenia, or other conditions making dual antiplatelet therapy difficult

- Symptoms suggesting digestive malignancy within the past 3 months (e.g., significant weight loss, recurrent vomiting, dysphagia, hematemesis, melena)
- Malignancy or serious illness with expected survival less than 1 year
- Severe anemia (hemoglobin <8 g/dL) or blood transfusion within 4 weeks before randomization
- Active liver disease or significant liver function impairment (AST or ALT >3 times upper limit)
- Advanced renal dysfunction (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73m2) or dialysis
- Use of contraindicated drugs (e.g., atazanavir, nelfinavir, rilpivirine-containing drugs)
- Genetic disorders such as galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption
- Concurrent use of CYP 3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitors
- Dementia or inability to understand or comply with trial procedures
