Therefore, the PK portion is presented here as AUC and the PD portion is presented in Secondary Outcome Measure #5. AUC was calculated through the last scheduled sampling time of 4 hours \[AUC (0-4)\] or through the sampling time of the last quantifiable concentration prior to 4 hours. AUC values were denoted AUC(0-tlast) in both instances.

Change in Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) to 20 Micromoles (μM) Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) as Measured by Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTA) From Baseline to 12 Days of Therapy in the First Treatment Period

Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) to 20 μM ADP was assessed by light transmission aggregometry (LTA), an assay that measures platelet aggregation by determining the amount of light transmitted through a cuvette containing the platelet-rich plasma stimulated with a platelet activator, such as ADP, relative to platelet-poor plasma (100% light transmittance). Lower MPA values reflect stronger platelet inhibition, whereas higher MPA values reflect weaker inhibition.

Time frame: Baseline, 12 days

Population: All randomized participants who continued in the study through the Day 12 visit, and who had at least 1 evaluable PD assessment at the Day 12 visit. Participants were analysed based on randomized treatment assignment, regardless of the study drug they took.

Active Metabolite Blood Levels to Drug Exposure as Measured by Pharmacokinetics (PK) Through 4 Hours After Dosing

A descriptive pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) analysis comparing prasugrel and clopidogrel active metabolite exposures to MPA in response to 20 µM ADP (by LTA) was conducted as originally intended; however, the graphic output from that analysis is not possible here. Therefore, the PK portion is presented here as AUC and the PD portion is presented in Secondary Outcome Measure #5. AUC was calculated through the last scheduled sampling time of 4 hours \[AUC (0-4)\] or through the sampling time of the last quantifiable concentration prior to 4 hours. AUC values were denoted AUC(0-tlast) in both instances.

Time frame: Baseline up to 4 hours post-dose

Population: All available PK sample data from all treated participants who contributed complete PK profiles.

Change From Baseline in Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) as Measured by Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTA) From Baseline at Day 12 of Therapy
