Study to examine whether single (100mg) or double (200 mg) doses of aspirin can reduce blood clotting in diabetic patients without heart disease and to determine whether the double dose is more effective when given as 100mg twice a day.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of single dose, double dose and split double dose aspirin (ASA) on platelet function in ASA-naïve patients with Type 2 diabetes but with no cardiovascular disease. Our hypothesis is that the high residual platelet reactivity commonly seen in ASA-treated diabetes patients might be overcome by giving higher or more frequent ASA doses. The change in platelet reactivity between baseline and the post single dose, split dose or double dose treatment period will be measured by the 'VerifyNowTM' ASA Point-of-Care test.;Secondary Objective: To determine whether the mechanism(s) for aspirin (ASA) “treatment failure” or “high platelet reactivity” in type 2 diabetics is/are COX-1 dependent or independent. (COX-1 is an important enzyme in the platelet that is affected by aspirin).;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the change in platelet reactivity between baseline and post the single dose, split double dose, and double dose treatment periods, as measured by the 'VerifyNowTM' ASA Point-of-Care test after two weeks treatment on each of the three dose regimens.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline results taken at the randomisation visit will be compared to those results obtained following the three study interventions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints include a variety of COX-1 dependent and independent platelet function tests, and indirect and direct measures of platelet function, after two weeks treatment on each of the three dose regimens as follows: - Change in serum TXB2 level between baseline and on ASA treatments - Change in urinary dTxB2 levels between baseline and on ASA treatments - Change in platelet function between baseline and on ASA treatments as measured by LTA - Change in platelet function between baseline and on ASA treatments as measured by PFA-100 - Change in platelet function between baseline and on ASA treatments as measured by WBA - Change in platelet function between baseline and on ASA treatments as measured by IPF;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Baseline results taken at the randomisation visit will be compared to those results obtained following the three study interventions.
