Brief summary

The primary objective is to determine the pharmacodynamic effect of ticagrelor dosing (180mg LD/ 90mg BID) at 2, 4 hours and 14 days in stable Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who exhibit high-on prasugrel platelet reactivity defined as Vasodilator Stimulated Phosphoprotein-Phosphorylation (VASP-P) \>50%.

Interventions

DRUGPrasugrel

Patients will discontinue ticagrelor treatment and start 10 mg prasugrel daily while continuing 81 mg of aspirin daily.

DRUGTicagrelor

Patients will be given 180 mg of Ticagrelor followed by 90 mg twice a day while continuing 81 mg of aspirin daily).

Inclusion criteria

1. Male or female; age ≥ 18 and \< 75 years 2. Weight ≥ 60 kg 3. Currently on ASA therapy and eligible to reduce ASA dose to 81 mg daily if on higher dosing 4. On stable prasugrel maintenance dose for ≥1 month 5. Stable CAD patients defined as: subjects with documented evidence of a history of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease/surgical revascularization (defined as either a prior myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery). A minimum of 1 month must have elapsed between a subject's enrolment and any acute event, revascularization procedure or hospitalization for chest pain for that subject. 6. If female, may be enrolled if one of the following 3 criteria are met: 1)Had a hysterectomy or tubal ligation at least 6 months prior to signing ICF, 2)Post-menopausal for at least 1 year, 3)If of childbearing potential, will practice 1 of the following methods of birth control throughout the study: oral, injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptives; intrauterine device; diaphragm plus spermicide; or female condom plus spermicide. Methods of contraception that are not acceptable are partner's use of condoms or partner's vasectomy. 7. Able and willing to provide written informed consent before entering the study

Exclusion criteria

1. Subject plans to undergo coronary revascularization at any time during the trial 2. Presence or history of any of the following: ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke; transient ischemic attack (TIA); intracranial neoplasm; arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm; intracranial hemorrhage; head trauma (within 3 months of study entry) 3. History of refractory ventricular arrhythmias with an increased risk of bradycardic events (eg, subjects without a pacemaker who have sick sinus syndrome, 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular (AV) block or bradycardic-related syncope) 4. History or evidence of congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or above ≤ 6 months before screening 5. Severe hepatic impairment defined as ALT\> 2.5 X ULN 6. Uncontrolled hypertension, or systolic blood pressure \> 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg at screening 7. Severely impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate \< 30 mL/minute) or on dialysis 8. Concomitant use with parenteral or oral anticoagulants 9. Platelet count \<100 X103
