This trial is designed as a phase 2 randomized, double-blind double dummy, active comparator controlled, two-period two-arm crossover study to enroll 40 patients across multiple centers. The study will compare platelet function following a prasugrel loading dose and 1 week of prasugrel maintenance therapy with high-dose clopidogrel loading dose and 1 week of high-dose clopidogrel maintenance therapy in patients with drug treated type 2 diabetes mellitus who have coronary artery disease. Various assays of platelet function will be used in this study. Platelet function will be studied using the following assays: Accumetrics VerifyNowTM P2Y12, Light Transmittance Aggregometry (LTA), Vasodilator-associated stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), and Thromboelastography (TEG)-platelet mapping.

Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation (IPA) 4 Hours After Loading Dose Assessed by Accumetrics VerifyNow™ P2Y12 Assay
The inhibition of platelet aggregation 4 hours after the loading dose was administered was assessed using the Accumetrics VerifyNow™ P2Y12 assay. Percentage inhibition, as reported by VerifyNow™ P2Y12, was calculated from P2Y12 Reaction Unit (PRU) (rate and extent of adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\]-stimulated platelet aggregation) and BASE (estimate of baseline platelet reactivity independent of P2Y12 receptor inhibition \[reference values\]: rate and extent of Thrombin Receptor-Activated Peptide-stimulated platelet aggregation) values as follows: Percentage (%) inhibition = (1-PRU/BASE) x 100.
Time frame: 4 hours after loading dose
Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation at 1- and 24-Hours After Loading Dose (LD) and 24-Hours After Last Maintenance Dose (LMD) Assessed by Accumetrics VerifyNow™ P2Y12 Assay
Inhibition of platelet aggregation 1- and 24-hours after loading dose and 24-hours after last maintenance dose was administered was assessed using Accumetrics VerifyNow™ P2Y12 assay. Percentage inhibition, as reported by VerifyNow™ P2Y12, was calculated from PRU (rate and extent of ADP-stimulated platelet aggregation) and BASE (estimate of baseline platelet reactivity independent of P2Y12 receptor inhibition \[reference values\]: rate and extent of Thrombin Receptor-Activated Peptide-stimulated platelet aggregation) values as follows: Percentage (%) inhibition = (1-PRU/BASE) x 100.
Time frame: 1 hour and 24 hours after the loading dose (LD) and 24 hours after the last maintenance dose (LMD)
Maximum Platelet Aggregation (MPA) as Assessed by Light Transmittance Aggregometry (LTA)
Mean platelet aggregation (MPA) to 5 and 20 µM adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was assessed by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA). Platelet aggregation was monitored for a total of 7 minutes after addition of ADP. Maximum platelet aggregation was the maximal aggregation value achieved during the 7-minute observation period following addition of agonists.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 Hour, 4 Hours, and 24 Hours after loading dose, and 24 Hours after last maintenance dose
Platelet Reactivity Index (PRI)
Data from the Vasodilator-associated stimulated phosphoprotein assay were reported as the platelet reactivity index (PRI) which was calculated from corrected mean fluorescence intensity (cMFI) following incubation of platelets with either prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) alone or PGE1 plus ADP: Platelet Reactivity Index (%) = \[1-(cMFI PGEI+ADP/cMFI PGEI)\] x 100. Lower PRI values indicate greater platelet P2Y12 inhibition.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 Hour, 4 Hours, and 24 Hours after loading dose, and 24 Hours after last maintenance dose
Inhibition of Platelet Function as Measured by Thromboelastography (TEG)-Platelet Mapping Maximum Amplitude - Adenosine Diphosphate
Thromboelastography (TEG) platelet mapping (MP) maximum amplitude (MA) - Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) millimeters (mm) at each time point. The TEG-MP MA measures strength of clot formation in whole blood. MA-ADP is the maximal amplitude resulting from fibrin and platelets not blocked by ADP-receptor inhibiting drugs. Fibrin strands in blood sample link a rotating sample cup with a stationary pin suspended by a torsion wire. The degree of platelet contribution to the MA through platelet-fibrin bonding directly influences the magnitude of pin movement and ultimately the amplitude of the tracing.
Time frame: Baseline, 1 Hour, 4 Hours, and 24 Hours after loading dose, and 24 Hours after last maintenance dose
