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
Patients will discontinue ticagrelor treatment and start 10 mg prasugrel daily while continuing 81 mg of aspirin daily.
Patients will be given 180 mg of Ticagrelor followed by 90 mg twice a day while continuing 81 mg of aspirin daily).

Eligibility
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.
