The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Cilostazol, Acetylsalycylic acid and Clopidogrel alone as well as combinations of Cilostazol/Acetylsalicylic acid and Cilostazol/ Clopidogrel on ex-vivo Platelet Function (PF) testing.

Ex-vivo Inhibition Of Platelet Aggregation (IPA)
The effect of ASA in combination with cilostazol and clopidogrel in combination with cilostazol on IPA was determined ex vivo in citrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) after stimulation of aggregation by low-level adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (5 micromolar \[uM\]) and arachidonic acid (AA) (500 milligrams/liter \[mg/L\]). Light transmission aggregometry (LTA) was used to measure residual aggregation (the percentage of aggregation 5 minutes after the addition of ADP or AA). Results are reported as the 95% confidence intervals for the reported geometric mean ratios (GMRs) (\[cilostazol+reference (ASA or clopidogrel)\]/reference) for IPA.
Time frame: Baseline, Visit 5 (Day 22-29)
Effects On Skin Bleeding Time (BT)
The effect of ASA in combination with cilostazol and clopidogrel in combination with cilostazol on skin BT (minutes) was determined with the Ivy method, utilizing standardized bleeding with the Surgicutt device. Results include the 95% confidence intervals for the reported GMRs (\[cilostazol+reference\]/reference) for skin BT.
Time frame: Visit 5 (Day 22-29)
