Adenosine diphosphate
(ADP) plays a key role in the
genesis of physiological
platelet-rich hemostatic
plugs and of pathological
arterial thrombi
Transduction of ADP signal
involves interaction with 2
platelet receptors
Gq-coupled P2Y1 receptor and
Gi-coupled P2Y12 receptor
Concomitant activation of both
Gq and Gi pathways by ADP
elicit normal platelet
aggregation
P2Y1
Prasugrel
Rapid and consistent
inhibitory effects on platelet
aggregation than clopidogrel
Distinct chemical structure
permits conversion to its
active metabolite with less
dependence on CYP enzymes
than clopidogrel
Different metabolism
Appearance of active metabolite in
circulation within 15 min
Reaches max plasma concentration
at 30 min
Higher mean area under
concentration-time curve of active
metabolite of prasugrel 60 mg than
that of clopidogrel 600 mg
Faster and greater mean inhibition of P2Y12-dependent platelet
function after 60-mg LD and 10-mg maintenance dose than
after a 300- or 600-mg LD and 75- or 150-mg maintenance dose
of clopidogrel
No influence of CYP genotype on its pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics
Lower interindividual variability in inhibition of P2Y12
Low prevalence of subjects who display resistance to prasugrel
TRITON TIMI 38
Randomized, double-blind, parallelgroup, multinational trial
Evaluated 13 608 high-risk patients
with ACS who required PCI
Patients randomized to receive 60mg prasugrel followed by 10 mg/d
or a 300-mg clopidogrel followed
by 75 mg/d for 6 to 15 months
Prasugrel associated with
Fewer ischemic events (HR, 0.81;
95% CI, 0.73 to 0.90; P<0.001)
Significant reductions in
Rates of MI (9.7% for clopidogrel
vs. 7.4% for prasugrel; P<0.001),
Urgent TVR(3.7% vs. 2.5%; P<0.001)
Stent thrombosis (2.4% vs. 1.1%;
P<0.001)
Major bleeding observed in
2.4% of prasugrel and in 1.8% of
clopidogrel (hazard ratio, 1.32;
95% CI, 1.03 to 1.68; P = 0.03)
Rate of life-threatening
bleeding (1.4% vs. 0.9%;P= 0.01)
Nonfatal bleeding (1.1% vs.
0.9%; HR, 1.25; P = 0.23)
Fatal bleeding (0.4% vs. 0.1%; P
= 0.002)
Posthoc analysis
3 subgroups appeared to have less
net clinical benefit(≥75 yrs and <60
kg) or greater harm(previous CVA)
More effective antithrombotic
drug than clopidogrel in patients
with diabetes mellitus, STEMI,
coronary stents, or recurrent
cardiovascular events on treatment
DIABETIC SUBGROUP
TRILOGY ACS
Trial design: NSTE-ACS patients <75 years of age selected for medical management
without PCI (n = 7,243) were randomized to prasugrel 10 mg daily vs. clopidogrel 75 mg
daily. Patients ≥75 years of age (n = 2,083) were randomized to prasugrel 5 mg daily vs.
clopidogrel 75 mg daily.

CANGRELOR
Belongs to family of analogs of ATP
Display high affinity for P2Y12 receptor
Potent inhibitor of ADP-induced
aggregation of human washed platelets
(PIC509.4 with 30 mol/L ADP)
Does not require conversion to an active
metabolite
Immediately active after IV infusion
Half-life of 3 to 6 minutes
Clinical Pharmacology
IV infusion well tolerated in healthy volunteers
Result in dose-dependent inhibition of ADP-induced platelet
aggregation at doses up to 4 microg/kg/min
At highest dose 3.2- and 2.9-fold increase in bleeding time in
men and women, respectively
Short half-life result in rapid reversal of both platelet-inhibitory
effect and effect on bleeding time
Reverse within 20 minutes after cessation of infusion
Double-blind randomized trial in PCI
2-part phase II study
Assessed safety and pharmacodynamics in PCI
First part of study enrolled 200 patients undergoing PCI
Randomized to 18- to 24-hour IV infusion of placebo or to 1, 2,
or 4 microg/kg/min cangrelor in addition to aspirin and heparin
before procedure

Angiographic trial
Assessed safety and efficacy of cangrelor as an adjunct to tpa in 92 patients
with AMI
All patients were treated with aspirin and heparin
Randomized to cangrelor alone (280micro g/min), full-dose tpa alone, or
cangrelor 35, 140, or 280micro g/min in conjunction with half-dose tpa
Combination of cangrelor and half-dose tpa resulted in 60-min coronary
patency similar to that of full-dose tpa alone (55% versus 50%; PNS) and
greater patency than with cangrelor alone (55% versus 18%; P0.05)
Bleeding and adverse clinical events were comparable across groups
Study directly compared effects of clopidogrel and cangrelor
administration in patients with IHD
Cangrelor (2 and 4micro g/mL/min) almost completely inhibited
10 mol/L ADP induced platelet aggregation
4 to 7 days of clopidogrel treatment resulted in only 60%
inhibition

Benefit sustained through 30

Intravenous cangrelor may

PCI, including stable angina,
NSTEMI, and STEMI.
BRIDGE STUDY
To evaluate the use of
cangrelor, an IV, reversible
P2Y12 platelet inhibitor, for
bridging thienopyridinetreated patients to CABG
Stage II Randomized, DoubleBlind, Placebo-Controlled
Bridging strategy to CABG after thienopyridine discontinuation
Cangrelor (at 0.75 µg/kg/min) achieves levels of platelet inhibition
known to be associated with a low risk of thrombotic events
Without increased risk of bleeding before or during CABG, although
with a numerical increase in minor pre-CABG bleeding
Independent of prior thienopyridine dose & time of discontinuation
Consistent pharmaocdynamic effect during IV infusion
Rapid offset after IV discontinuation prior to surgery
No increased incidence of adverse events (e.g. dyspnea) or
laboratory abnormalities despite extended dosing
TICAGRELOR
Not a prodrug; does not require metabolic activation
Rapid onset of inhibitory effect on P2Y12 receptor
Greater inhibition of platelet aggregation than clopidogrel
Degree of inhibition reflects plasma concentration
Faster offset of effect than clopidogrel
Functional recovery of all circulating platelets
Displays no significant affinity for other P2 receptors
P2Y12 receptor is targeted by ticagrelor via noncompetitive
mechanism suggesting existence of an independent receptor binding
site
DISPERSE TRIAL
Dose-Finding Investigative Study to Assess the
Pharmakodynamic Effects in Atherosclerotic Disease
Comparison of Ticagrelor With Clopidogrel
Randomized, double-blind, parallel-group dose-finding study
200 stable atherosclerotic outpatients on treatment with
aspirin 75 to 100 mg once daily
Received ticagrelor (50, 100, or 200 mg BID or 400 mg QD) or
clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 28 days
Ticagrelor (100 or 200 mg BID or 400 mg QD) inhibited platelet aggregation
more rapidly and effectively and with less variability than clopidogrel after
both first dose and 28 days of therapy
Only 1 major, nonfatal hemorrhage occurred in ticagrelor 400 mg QD group
Moderate and minor bleeding events - dose related (from 29% to 51%) in
ticagrelor and 32% in clopidogrel
Other adverse events- dyspnea,dizziness, headache, and hematuria
Dyspnea-dose related(10%-50mg BID, 16% - 200 mg BID and 20% - 400 mg QD)
None of dyspnea was serious
None associated with congestive heart failure or bronchospasm.
DISPERSE-2 study
Compared safety of ticagrelor with clopidogrel
990 patients
NSTEMI treated with aspirin and standard therapy for ACS
Randomly assigned ticagrelor 90 mg BID or 180 mg BID and
clopidogrel (300-mg LD 75-mg QD MD) for up to 12 weeks
Statistically significant difference in major bleedings
Posthoc analysis
Continuous ECG- asymptomatic ventricular pauses 2.5 seconds
were more common with ticagrelor 180 mg BID
Dyspnea frequently with ticagrelor
Clinical impact appeared low, with few cases being considered
serious or leading to discontinuation of treatment
Pathogenesis of dyspnea is unclear
Hypothesis - may be mediated by adenosine
SUBSTUDY OF DISPERSE-2
Ticagrelor inhibition of platelet aggregation-dose dependent
Both doses achieved greater inhibition than clopidogrel
Ticagrelor produced further suppression of platelet
aggregation in patients who were currently receiving
clopidogrel
