Brief Summary

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), have a high prevalence of suboptimal response to clopidogrel (up to 40%). This impaired response to antiplatelet drugs has been consistently associated with a higher risk of adverse ischemic outcomes. Different strategies have been suggested to overcome variability in response to clopidogrel and improve clinical outcomes in diabetic patients. One of these strategies is the use of newer P2Y12 inhibitors, such as ticagrelor, with more potent and consistent platelet inhibitory effects compared to clopidogrel. In summary, since patients with T2DM continue to have enhanced platelet reactivity despite the administration of commonly used dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and standard doses of clopidogrel, newer and more potent antiplatelet treatment strategies are warranted in this high-risk population. The purpose of the present study is to compare platelet inhibitory effects achieved with ticagrelor versus clopidogrel, both on top of aspirin therapy, in patients with type 2 DM and stable coronary artery disease.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Platelet reactivity

    maximal platelet aggregation, measured with light transmittance aggregometry (using 20 μM ADP as agonist), achieved after 1 week of treatment with ticagrelor or clopidogrel

    7 days

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

After providing written informed consent, eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to group A or B. Ticagrelor (180-mg loading dose the first day followed by 90-mg b.i.d. maintenance dose) for one week; washout period of 2-4 weeks; crossover to clopidogrel (600-mg loading dose the first day followed by 75-mg daily maintenance dose) for one-week.

Drug: TicagrelorDrug: Clopidogrel

Group B

EXPERIMENTAL

After providing written informed consent, eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to group A or B. Clopidogrel (600-mg loading dose the first day followed by 75-mg daily maintenance dose) for one-week; washout period of 2-4 weeks; crossover to ticagrelor (180-mg loading dose the first day followed by 90-mg b.i.d. maintenance dose) for one week.

Drug: TicagrelorDrug: Clopidogrel
