Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, cross-over study to compare the pharmacodynamic response in subjects with Acute Coronary Syndrome receiving a 10-mg maintenance dose of prasugrel compared with a 150-mg maintenance dose of clopidogrel, following a 900-mg loading dose of clopidogrel.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Cross-Over Study Comparing the Pharmacodynamic Response in Subjects With Acute Coronary Syndrome Receiving 14 Days 10-mg MD Prasugrel vs 14 Days 150-mg MD Clopidogrel After Using a 900-mg LD of Clopidogrel to Reduce Ongoing Platelet Activation

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Dose Comparison, Crossover Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Establish an advantage of prasugrel compared with clopidogrel as assessed by mean MPA at the end of the specified treatment periods in subjects with ACS.

Secondary outcome: Assess prasugrel & clopidogrel maintenance doses to ADP by MPA; Assess prasugrel & clopidogrel maintenance dose to varying amounts of ADP by IPA.
