Conditions

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Brief summary

This study will determine if aspirin from PL2200, an investigational product, gets into the blood stream as quickly as enteric coated aspirin, and to test whether PL2200 is able to prevent blood clots as effectively as enteric coated aspirin, when administered to patients with diabetes

Interventions

325 mg aspirin; once per day for 10 days

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to 99% Inhibition of Serum Thromboxane11 daysSerial measurements of aspirin anti-platelet activity will be collected over 11 days, and compared between groups, to allow a determination of pharmacodynamic (anti-platelet) bioequivalence between study drugs. Aspirin's antiplatelet activity is measured by the capacity of platelets to generate serum thromboxane (a surrogate marker for inhibition of COX-1 by aspirin). Inhibition of serum thromboxane is a key marker of antiplatelet efficacy.

Time to 99% Inhibition of Serum Thromboxane

Serial measurements of aspirin anti-platelet activity will be collected over 11 days, and compared between groups, to allow a determination of pharmacodynamic (anti-platelet) bioequivalence between study drugs. Aspirin's antiplatelet activity is measured by the capacity of platelets to generate serum thromboxane (a surrogate marker for inhibition of COX-1 by aspirin). Inhibition of serum thromboxane is a key marker of antiplatelet efficacy.

Time frame: 11 days

Population: Pharmacodynamic (PD) Evaluable Population - patients in the intent-to-treat population who received a full treatment regimen for each of 2 study drugs, had all scheduled PD blood draws, and had no other major protocol violations.
