Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of E5555 in subjects with coronary artery disease.
Detailed description
This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of E5555, a PAR-1 inhibitor. The total duration of individual study participation was 28 weeks (196 days). This included a treatment period of 24 weeks (168 days) and a follow-up period of 4 weeks (28 days).
Interventions
50 mg or 100 mg E5555 tablets
