A Pharmacodynamic Comparison of Prasugrel vs. Ticagrelor in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Prasugrel and Ticagrelor for Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased risk of adverse atherothrombotic events. This may be in part attributed to the fact that these patients have reduced response to oral antiplatelet medications, in particular the P2Y12 receptor inhibitor clopidogrel, used for secondary prevention of ischemic events. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are recently approved P2Y12 receptor inhibitors which, compared with clopidogrel, have more potent antiplatelet effects. Head-to-head comparisons between the two drugs are lacking.
