Abstract
Clopidogrel is the most widely used P2Y12 receptor inhibitor (P2Y12i) as a part of dual antiplatelet therapy along with aspirin. Clopidogrel is a pro-drug and is metabolized to its active metabolite by the hepatic enzyme cytochrome P4502C19 (CYP2C19). This active metabolite is responsible for the antiplatelet action of clopidogrel. Recent studies have demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CYP2C19 gene, including CYP2C19*2,*3,*4, and *5 alleles, result in reduced production of the active metabolite of clopidogrel, and hence reduced inhibition of platelet aggregation. This in turn enhances the incidence of stent thrombosis and recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events. We report a case of coronary stent thrombosis due to clopidogrel resistance proven by CYP2C19 genotyping. We then review the literature on clopidogrel resistance and its impact on CV outcomes. Subsequently, we discuss the methods of diagnosis of resistance, evidence from clinical trials for tailoring clopidogrel therapy, the role of potent P2Y12 inhibitors, the current guidelines, and future directions.

Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, immune-mediated disease with a specific cutaneous presentation. Increased platelet aggregation has been observed in patients with extensive psoriatic lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical factors affecting platelet reactivity in patients with an exacerbation of psoriasis. Methods: This was a prospective, single-center, observational study, enrolling patients hospitalized for an aggravation of psoriasis. Enrolled patients underwent single platelet function testing with light transmission aggregometry on the first morning of hospitalization. Results: 120 patients were enrolled in the study. Of the compared subgroups, women had higher maximal platelet aggregation (MPA) than men (77% vs. 72%; p = 0.03), and those with BMIs < 25 kg/m2 showed higher platelet reactivity compared to subjects with BMIs ≥ 25 kg/m2 (75% vs. 73%; p = 0.02). There was a positive correlation between MPA and platelet count (r = 0.27; p < 0.01), as well as C-reactive protein concentration (r = 0.20; p = 0.03), while a negative correlation was observed with total cholesterol (r = -0.24; p = 0.01) and triglycerides (r = -0.30; p < 0.01). A two-step analysis based on multidimensional models with random effects revealed that every increase in the platelet count by 103/μL led to an increase in MPA by 0.07% (R2 = 0.07; p < 0.01), and an increase in triglycerides' concentration by 1 mg/dL was related to a reduction in MPA by 0.05% (R2 = 0.07; p < 0.01). Conclusions: The increased platelet reactivity observed in patients with psoriasis appears to be multifactorial and related to several clinical and laboratory features. Further research is warranted to put these findings into a clinical perspective.

Prognostic Implication of Platelet Reactivity According to Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Status in Patients Treated With Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation: Analysis of the PTRG-DES Consortium. J Korean Med Sci 2024; 39:e27. [PMID: 38258362 PMCID: PMC10803212 DOI: 10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e27] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) often exhibit reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the impact of LV dysfunction status in conjunction with platelet reactivity on clinical outcomes has not been previously investigated. METHODS From the multicenter PTRG-DES (Platelet function and genoType-Related long-term prognosis in DES-treated patients) consortium, the patients were classified as preserved-EF (PEF: LVEF ≥ 50%) and reduced-EF (REF: LVEF< 5 0%) group by echocardiography. Platelet reactivity was measured using VerifyNow P2Y12 assay and high platelet reactivity (HPR) was defined as PRU ≥ 252. The major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) were a composite of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis and stroke at 5 years after PCI. Major bleeding was defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium bleeding types 3-5. RESULTS A total of 13,160 patients from PTRG-DES, 9,319 (79.6%) patients with the results of both PRU and LVEF were analyzed. The incidence of MACCE and major bleeding was higher in REF group as compared with PEF group (MACCEs: hazard ratio [HR] 2.17, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.85-2.55; major bleeding: HR 1.78, P < 0.001, 95% CI 1.39-2.78). The highest rate of MACCEs was found in patients with REF and HPR, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (HR 3.14 in REF(+)/HPR(+) vs. PEF(+)/HPR(-) group, P < 0.01, 95% CI 2.51-3.91). The frequency of major bleeding was not associated with the HPR in either group. CONCLUSION LV dysfunction was associated with an increased incidence of MACCEs and major bleeding in patients who underwent PCI. The HPR status further exhibited significant increase of MACCEs in patients with LV dysfunction in a large, real-world registry. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04734028.

Cangrelor - Expanding therapeutic options in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Cardiol J 2023; 31:133-146.

Abstract
Cangrelor is the only intravenous P2Y12 receptor antagonist. It is an adenosine triphosphate analog that selectively, directly, and reversibly binds to the platelet P2Y12 receptors exerting its antiaggregatory effect. Cangrelor is characterized by linear, dose-dependent pharmacokinetics and rapid onset of action providing potent platelet inhibition exceeding 90%. Cangrelor is rapidly metabolized by endothelial endonucleotidase; thus, its half-life is 2.9 to 5.5 min, and its antiplatelet effect subsides within 60 to 90 min. Data originating from three pivotal cangrelor trials (CHAMPION PLATFORM, CHAMPION PCI, and CHAMPION PHOENIX) indicate that cangrelor reduces the risk of periprocedural thrombotic complications during percutaneous coronary intervention at the expense of mild bleedings. Its unique pharmacological properties allow it to overcome the limitations of oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, mainly related to the delayed and decreased bioavailability and antiplatelet effect of these agents, which are often observed in the setting of acute coronary syndrome. Subgroups of patients who could theoretically benefit the most from cangrelor include those in whom pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral P2Y12 receptor antagonists are most disturbed, namely patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, those treated with opioids, with mild therapeutic hypothermia, or in cardiogenic shock. Cangrelor could also be useful if bridging is required in patients undergoing surgery. According to the current guidelines cangrelor may be considered in P2Y12 receptor inhibitor-naïve patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in both acute and stable settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ticagrelor is widely used in patients with stable and acute coronary artery disease. Understanding the factors that influence its pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) could improve therapeutic outcomes. We therefore performed a pooled population PK/PD analysis using individual patient data from two studies. We focused on the impact of morphine administration and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on the risk of high platelet reactivity (HPR) and dyspnea. METHODS A parent-metabolite population PK/PD model was developed based on data from 63 STEMI, 50 non-STEMI, and 25 chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients. Simulations were then run to evaluate the risk of non-response and adverse events associated with the identified variability factors. RESULTS The final PK model consisted of first-order absorption with transit compartments, distribution with two compartments for ticagrelor and one compartment for AR-C124910XX (active metabolite of ticagrelor), and linear elimination for both drugs. The final PK/PD model was an indirect turnover model with production inhibition. Morphine dose and STEMI, independently, had a significant negative effect on the absorption rate (reduction of log([Formula: see text]) by 0.21×morphine dose (mg) and by 2.37 in STEMI patients, both p < 0.001), and the presence of STEMI significantly impacted both efficacy and potency (both p < 0.001). The simulations run with the validated model showed a high rate of non-response in patients with those covariates (RR 1.19 for morphine, 4.11 for STEMI and 5.73 for morphine and STEMI, all three p < 0.001). By increasing ticagrelor dosage, the negative morphine effect was reversible in patients without STEMI and just limited in patients with STEMI. CONCLUSION The developed population PK/PD model confirmed the negative impact of morphine administration and presence of STEMI on ticagrelor PK and antiplatelet effect. Increasing ticagrelor doses seems effective in morphine users without STEMI, whereas the STEMI effect is not entirely reversible.

The impact of high on-treatment platelet reactivity and fibrinogen levels on ischemic events in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction: a prospective observational study. Int J Clin Pharm 2023; 45:461-472.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After treatment, high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) is considered as an essential risk factor for recurrent ischemic events. AIM To evaluate the impact of fibrinogen on HRPR after implantation of emergency drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients treated with aspirin and clopidogrel or ticagrelor due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to explore the predictive values of HRPR and fibrinogen for adverse ischemic events at 12 months. METHOD This single-center prospective observational study analyzed patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with second-generation DES implantation from January 2017 to December 2018. Platelet reactivity was measured by thromboelastography (TEG) at 60-72 h after primary PCI. HRPR was defined as the adenosine diphosphate-induced maximum amplitude (MAADP) > 47 mm. RESULTS A total of 919 patients were analyzed, of which 512 (55.8%) received aspirin and clopidogrel and 406 (44.2%) received aspirin and ticagrelor. Elevated fibrinogen levels were associated with an increased prevalence of HRPR (P < 0.001). High fibrinogen (quartile IV, ≥ 410 mg/dL) was an independent risk factor for HRPR after multivariate regression (odds ratio 6.556, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.200-13.431, P < 0.001). When analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival curves, the combination of high fibrinogen and HRPR was strongly predictive for ischemic major adverse cardiac events at 12 months compared to the group without HRPR and with low fibrinogen (hazard ratio 9.681, 95% CI: 4.467-20.98, log-rank P < 0.001). Similar results were confirmed in subgroups according to different dual antiplatelet therapies. CONCLUSION A combination of high fibrinogen and HRPR may identify recurrent adverse ischemic events over 12 months. Ticagrelor exhibited more potent platelet inhibition and a better prognosis than clopidogrel.

Abstract
Novel P2Y12 ADP receptor blockers (ADPRB) should be preferred in dual-antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, there are still patients who do not respond optimally to novel ADP receptor blocker therapy, and this nonoptimal response (so-called "high on-treatment platelet reactivity" or "resistance") could be connected with increased risk of adverse ischemic events, such as myocardial re-infarction, target lesion failure and stent thrombosis. In addition, several risk factors have been proposed as factors associated with the phenomenon of inadequate response on novel ADPRB. These include obesity, multivessel coronary artery disease, high pre-treatment platelet reactivity and impaired metabolic status for prasugrel, as well as elderly, concomitant therapy with beta-blockers, morphine and platelet count for ticagrelor. There is no literature report describing nonoptimal therapeutic response on cangrelor, and cangrelor therapy seems to be a possible approach for overcoming HTPR on prasugrel and ticagrelor. However, the optimal therapeutic management of "resistance" on novel ADPRB is not clear and this issue requires further research. This narrative review article discusses the phenomenon of high on-treatment platelet reactivity on novel ADPRB, its importance in clinical practice and approaches for its therapeutic overcoming.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is related to interactions between immune cells, endothelium, and blood platelets. An increasing number of reports confirm the link between excessive immune activation and cellular cross-talk with ACS incidence. Our genetic and proteomic analysis was performed on strictly selected atherosclerotic patients with non-fatal ACS without typical risk factors and healthy donors. Results showed changes in the gene expression levels of the various inflammatory factors derived from the peripheral blood cells that drive the over-activation of the immune system. The enhanced activation of the immune system may lead to the overexpression of the pro-inflammatory mediators, which causes self-perpetuating machinery of processes associated with thrombosis. In our preliminary study, we confirmed an altered expression of genes associated with the inflammation and overall interaction of the vascular microenvironment. Furthermore, 5 of 92 analyzed genes, CCL2, CCR2, CSF2, GZMB, and ICOS, were expressed only in patients with ACS. In conclusion, the augmented expression of the pro-inflammatory genes from the peripheral blood cells may be a crucial genetic factor leading to the occurrence of acute inflammation and thus be significant in ACS pathogenesis.

[PMID: 35207396 PMCID: PMC8876868 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11041124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Contemporary antiplatelet treatment in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is based on one of two P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, prasugrel or ticagrelor. The aim of this study was to compare diurnal variability of platelet reactivity between patients receiving prasugrel and ticagrelor during the initial phase of maintenance treatment after AMI. Methods: It was a prospective, two-center, pharmacodynamic, observational study. Blood for platelet testing was sampled at four time points on day four after AMI (8:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00). Diurnal variability of platelet reactivity was expressed as a coefficient of variation (CV) of the above-mentioned measurements. Results: 73 invasively-treated patients were enrolled (ticagrelor: n = 47, prasugrel: n = 26). CV was greater in patients treated with ticagrelor compared with prasugrel according to a VASP assay (47.8 [31.6–64.6]% vs. 21.3 [12.9–25.5]%, p < 0.001), while no statistical differences were detected when the CVs of platelet aggregation according to Multiplate were compared between ticagrelor- and prasugrel-treated patients. Ticagrelor-treated patients showed more pronounced platelet inhibition than prasugrel at 16:00 and 20:00 (VASP16:00: 20.6 ± 15.0 vs. 24.9 ± 12.8 PRI, p = 0.049; VASP20:00: 18.6 ± 17.7 vs. 26.0 ± 11.7 PRI, p = 0.002). Conclusions: Ticagrelor shows greater diurnal variability in platelet aggregation than prasugrel during the initial maintenance phase of AMI treatment, and this is due to the continuous increase of platelet inhibition after the morning maintenance dose. Both drugs provide an adequate antiplatelet effect early after AMI. Evaluation of the clinical significance of these findings warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Aims: The goals of this study were to develop a new technique that could pave the way for a quicker determination of CYP4F2 rs3093135 and CYP2C19 rs4244285 variants directly from a patient's blood and to attempt to apply this technique in clinical practice. Patients & methods: The study included 144 consecutive patients admitted with ST elevation myocardial infarction. A blood-direct PCR and real-time PCR were used to detect variants of interest. Results & conclusion: Patients with bleeding events had the CYP2C19 GG (*1*1) variant more frequently than patients without bleeding events. The CYP4F2 TT variant was more frequently detected in patients with bleeding events 3 months after hospitalization.

Abstract
This study aimed to build a mathematical model describing the pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite (AR-C124910XX) in a stable setting with concomitant administration of morphine. The model consists of a set of four differential equations prepared upon the available knowledge regarding the biological processes in the pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor. The set of equations was solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta method. The data were obtained in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. Twenty-four healthy volunteers received a 180-mg ticagrelor loading dose together with either 5-mg morphine or placebo. Blood samples were analyzed with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to assess plasma concentrations of ticagrelor and AR-C124910XX before ticagrelor loading dose and after that 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 h. The model allowed us to reproduce the experimental results accurately and led us to conclusions consistent with clinical observations that morphine delays the time of maximum drug concentration and that the morphine effect occurs due to decreased gastrointestinal motility. Based on the model, we were able to predict the effect of drug dose on receptor blocking efficacy.

Abstract
The risk of ischemic events gradually decreases after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), reaching a stable level after 1 month, while the risk of bleeding remains steady during the whole period of dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT). Several de-escalation strategies of antiplatelet treatment aiming to enhance safety of DAPT without depriving it of its efficacy have been evaluated so far. We hypothesized that reduction of the ticagrelor maintenance dose 1 month after ACS and its continuation until 12 months after ACS may improve adherence to antiplatelet treatment due to better tolerability compared with the standard dose of ticagrelor. Moreover, improved safety of treatment and preserved anti-ischemic benefit may also be expected with additional acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) withdrawal. To evaluate these hypotheses, we designed the Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of Two Ticagrelor-based De-escalation Antiplatelet Strategies in Acute Coronary Syndrome - a randomized clinical trial (ELECTRA-SIRIO 2), to assess the influence of ticagrelor dose reduction with or without continuation of ASA versus DAPT with standard dose ticagrelor in reducing clinically relevant bleeding and maintaining anti-ischemic efficacy in ACS patients. The study was designed as a phase III, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, investigator-initiated clinical study with a 12-month follow-up (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04718025; EudraCT number: 2020-005130-15).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The unfavourable influence of morphine on the pharmacokinetics of ticagrelor resulting in weaker and retarded antiplatelet effect in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been previously shown. Replacing morphine with methoxyflurane, a potent, non-opioid analgesic agent, that does not weaken or delay the effect of antiplatelet agents may improve the clinical efficacy of treatment of patients with ACS. METHODS The ANEMON-SIRIO 3 study was designed as a multicentre, open-label, phase II, randomised clinical trial aimed to test the analgesic efficacy and safety of methoxyflurane in patients with ACS. The study population will comprise patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-elevation ACS admitted to the study centres with typical chest pain requiring analgesic treatment. Before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the patients with index ACS will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to receive methoxyflurane administered by inhalation, or to obtain morphine administered intravenously. Analgesic treatment will be followed by 300 mg loading dose of aspirin and 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor. Patients will be assessed with regard to pain intensity according to the Numeric Pain Rating Scale at baseline, 3 min after study drug administration and immediately after PCI. Moreover, patients will be actively monitored with regard to the occurrence of side effects of evaluated therapies, as well as adverse events that may be related to insufficient platelet inhibition (no-reflow phenomenon assessed immediately after PCI, administration of GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors during PCI, acute stent thrombosis). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study will be conducted in six Polish clinical centres from the beginning of in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. TRIAL REGISTRATION DETAILS ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04476173.

Abstract
The increased risk of non-cardiovascular death in patients receiving clopidogrel or prasugrel in comparison with the placebo group in the Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) trial in contrast to the decreased risk of cardiovascular death and all-cause death seen in patients treated with low-dose ticagrelor in the EU label population of the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 trial, resulted in inclusion in the 2020 ESC NSTE-ACS guidelines the recommendation for use of clopidogrel or prasugrel only if the patient is not eligible for treatment with ticagrelor. The prevalence of the primary outcome composed of cardiovascular death, stroke, or myocardial infarction was lower in the low-dose rivaroxaban and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) group than in the ASA-alone group in the COMPASS trial. Moreover, all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality rates were lower in the rivaroxaban-plus-ASA group. Comparison of the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 and COMPASS trial patient characteristics clearly shows that each of these treatment strategies should be addressed at different groups of patients. A greater benefit in post-acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with a high risk of ischemic events and without high bleeding risk may be expected with ASA and ticagrelor 60 mg b.i.d. when the therapy is continued without interruption or with short interruption only after ACS. On the other hand, ASA and rivaroxaban 2.5 mg b.i.d. seems to be a better option when indications for dual antithrombotic therapy (DATT) appear after a longer time from ACS (more than 2 years) and/or from cessation of DAPT (more than 1 year) and in patients with multiple vascular bed atherosclerosis. Thus, both options of DATTs complement each other rather than compete, as can be presumed from the recommendations. However, a direct comparison between these strategies should be tested in future clinical trials.

Abstract
Antiplatelet therapy with P2Y12 receptor inhibitors (clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, cangrelor) is a cornerstone of medical therapy after percutaneous coronary interventions. Significant prevalence of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) on clopidogrel treatment led to introduction of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors: prasugrel (a third generation thienopyridine), ticagrelor, and cangrelor (cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidines). Nevertheless, more potent platelet inhibition and resulting low on-treatment platelet reactivity (LTPR) has led to increased risk of major bleeding events. These limitations resulted in a need for an individualized antiplatelet therapy approach. This review discusses the current role and future perspectives of diagnostic tools such as platelet function testing to optimize antiplatelet therapy with a focus on deescalating therapies to reduce bleeding risks.
