Brief summary

This trial is designed as a phase 2 randomized, double-blind double dummy, active comparator controlled, two-period two-arm crossover study to enroll 40 patients across multiple centers. The study will compare platelet function following a prasugrel loading dose and 1 week of prasugrel maintenance therapy with high-dose clopidogrel loading dose and 1 week of high-dose clopidogrel maintenance therapy in patients with drug treated type 2 diabetes mellitus who have coronary artery disease. Various assays of platelet function will be used in this study. Platelet function will be studied using the following assays: Accumetrics VerifyNowTM P2Y12, Light Transmittance Aggregometry (LTA), Vasodilator-associated stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), and Thromboelastography (TEG)-platelet mapping.

Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation (IPA) 4 Hours After Loading Dose Assessed by Accumetrics VerifyNow™ P2Y12 Assay4 hours after loading doseThe inhibition of platelet aggregation 4 hours after the loading dose was administered was assessed using the Accumetrics VerifyNow™ P2Y12 assay. Percentage inhibition, as reported by VerifyNow™ P2Y12, was calculated from P2Y12 Reaction Unit (PRU) (rate and extent of adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\]-stimulated platelet aggregation) and BASE (estimate of baseline platelet reactivity independent of P2Y12 receptor inhibition \[reference values\]: rate and extent of Thrombin Receptor-Activated Peptide-stimulated platelet aggregation) values as follows: Percentage (%) inhibition = (1-PRU/BASE) x 100.

The TEG-MP MA measures strength of clot formation in whole blood. MA-ADP is the maximal amplitude resulting from fibrin and platelets not blocked by ADP-receptor inhibiting drugs. Fibrin strands in blood sample link a rotating sample cup with a stationary pin suspended by a torsion wire. The degree of platelet contribution to the MA through platelet-fibrin bonding directly influences the magnitude of pin movement and ultimately the amplitude of the tracing.

Thromboelastography (TEG) platelet mapping (MP) maximum amplitude (MA) - Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) millimeters (mm) at each time point. The TEG-MP MA measures strength of clot formation in whole blood. MA-ADP is the maximal amplitude resulting from fibrin and platelets not blocked by ADP-receptor inhibiting drugs.
