Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Returning to Baseline Platelet Function

Participants were classified as having platelet function return to baseline after loading dose (LD) on the first day that P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) was no more than 60 PRU below baseline and remained in this range. PRU was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet aggregation.

Time frame: Days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11

Secondary Outcomes

The Day on Which 50%, 75% and 90% of Subjects Return to Baseline Platelet Function Following a Single LD of 30-mg or 60-mg Prasugrel or 600-mg Clopidogrel

This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the limited sample size.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

The Day When the Proportion of Participants Who Return to Baseline Platelet Function in the 30-mg and 60-mg Prasugrel Groups is Similar to the 600-mg Clopidogrel Group at Day 5 and Day 7

The day at which the proportion of participants who return to baseline platelet P2Y12 receptor function in the prasugrel 30 mg and 60 mg LD groups is similar (within 10% absolute difference) to the proportion of subjects who return to baseline platelet P2Y12 receptor function at day 5 and day 7 in the clopidogrel 600 mg LD group, obtained from Kaplan Meier curves for the primary washout population, was to be presented. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the limited sample size.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function Following One Loading Dose (LD)

The return of baseline platelet function following one LD of prasugrel (30 mg or 60 mg) or 600 mg LD of clopidogrel assessed by Verify Now™ P2Y12 Reaction Units (VN-PRU). This outcome measure was not analyzed because it was not appropriate to estimate the days based on the non-inferiority approach due to the limited sample size.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Effect of Initial Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation on the Day to Return to Baseline Platelet Function: VN-PRU

To show effect of initial inhibition of platelet aggregation as measured by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12 on the day to return to baseline platelet function, a regression model was fitted with day to return as outcome variable and initial inhibition as fixed effect. Results are reported as the predicted day to return to baseline platelet function by derived VN-PRU percent (%) inhibition at 24 hours post LD. The derived VN-PRU % inhibition is calculated as a percent decrease of PRU from baseline using the following formula: (\[PRU at baseline - PRU at 24 hours post LD\]/PRU at baseline) x 100%.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Mean Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function in All Treatment Arms (Adjusted for Level of Inhibition 24 Hrs Post-LD) by VN-PRU

PRU was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-stimulated platelet aggregation. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to the limited sample size.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Platelet Function 24 Hours Post Loading Dose

PRU was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12. PRU represents the rate and extent of ADP-stimulated platelet aggregation.

Time frame: 24 hours post-loading dose

Percentage of Poor Pharmacodynamic Responders by Platelet Aggregation at 24 Hours Post-LD

Platelet aggregation was assessed by Accumetrics Verify Now™ P2Y12, and poor responders were those with PRU greater than or equal to 230.

Time frame: 24 hours post-loading dose

Extent of Initial Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation on the Return of Baseline Platelet Function: Light Transmission Aggregometry (LTA)

Initial inhibition of platelet aggregation was measured by LTA at 5 and 20 μM ADP. Maximum platelet aggregation (MPA) is reported by day.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Extent of Initial Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function: Multiplate® ADP Test and ADP Test High Sensitivity (HS)

Return of baseline platelet function was assessed by Multiplate® ADP test and ADP test High Sensitivity (HS). Multiplate analyzer was used to assess platelet aggregation based on impedance aggregometry in whole blood. The agonist ADP was added to stirred whole blood after dilution (1:2 with 0.9% NaCl solution) in a final concentration of 6.4 µM (ADP Test) or in final concentration of 6.4 µM ADP plus 9.4 nM Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (ADPtest HS). Platelet aggregation was continuously recorded for 5 minutes and quantified as area under the aggregation curve (AUC=AU\*min) of aggregation units (AU).

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Mean Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function in All Treatment Arms (Adjusted for Level of Inhibition 24 Hours Post-LD) by LTA (5 and 20 μM ADP)

Maximum platelet aggregation (MPA) to 5 and 20 μM ADP were assessed by LTA. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to limited sample size.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Mean Number of Days to the Return of Baseline Platelet Function in All Treatment Arms (Adjusted for Level of Inhibition 24 Hrs Post-LD) by Multiplate® ADP Test and ADP Test High Sensitivity (HS)

The Multiplate analyzer was used to assess platelet aggregation based on impedance aggregometry in whole blood. After adding 6.4 µM ADP (ADP test) or 6.4 µM ADP plus 9.4 nM Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (ADP test HS), area under the aggregation curve (AUC) was calculated. This outcome measure was not analyzed due to limited sample size.

Time frame: Up through 11 days

Platelet Function by LTA at 5 and 20 μM ADP

MPA to 5 and 20 μM ADP were assessed by LTA.

Time frame: 24 hours post-loading dose

Platelet Function by Multiplate® ADP Test and ADP Test HS

The Multiplate analyzer was used to assess platelet aggregation based on impedance aggregometry in whole blood. After adding 6.4 µM ADP (ADP test) or 6.4 µM ADP plus 9.4 nM PGE1 (ADP test HS), area under the aggregation curve (AUC) were calculated.

Time frame: 24 hours post-loading dose
