5 Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and clopidogrel PPIs recommended to prevent bleeding associated with dual anti-platelet therapy Evidence of decreased pharmacodynamic effect of clopidogrel when administered with PPIs that inhibit CYP2C enzymes Clinical studies and registries provide conflicting data on effect of PPIs on clinical outcomes in clopidogrel-treated patients 5

7 PLATO Study Design NSTE-ACS (moderate-to-high risk) STEMI (if primary PCI) Clopidogrel-treated or -naïve; randomized within 24 hours of index event (N=18,624) Clopidogrel If pre-treated, no additional loading dose; if naïve, standard 300-mg loading dose, then 75-mg qd maintenance; (additional 300 mg allowed pre-pci) Ticagrelor 180-mg loading dose, then 90-mg bid maintenance; (additional 90 mg pre-pci)

8 PLATO PLATELET substudy 69 patients in the PLATO study at 2 centres (Sheffield, UK, and Jacksonville, USA) participated in the maintenance phase of this substudy. Platelet responses were assessed during maintenance therapy (treatment with study medication for at least 28 days). In this analysis, platelet responses were compared in those currently or not currently receiving treatment with a PPI in each group (32 clopidogrel patients and 37 ticagrelor patients) Light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) with ADP, VerifyNow P2Y12 and VASP assays were performed prior to maintenance dose ( trough ) and 2-4h after dosing ( peak ) 8

17 Platelet reactivity index (%), mean VASP responses during maintenance therapy according to treatment with PPIs: pre-maintenance dose 100 PPI No PPI 80 p= p= Ticagrelor Clopidogrel VASP response Storey RF et al. JACC 2010; in press PPI = proton pump inhibitor

18 Platelet reactivity index (%), mean VASP responses during maintenance therapy according to treatment with PPIs: 2 4 hours post-maintenance dose 100 PPI No PPI 80 p= p= Ticagrelor Clopidogrel VASP response Storey RF et al. JACC 2010; in press PPI = proton pump inhibitor

19 Conclusions Clopidogrel-treated patients on PPI had higher platelet reactivity compared to patients not on PPI. Ticagrelor-treated patients had low levels of platelet reactivity regardless of whether or not they were receiving PPI. PPI usage does not appear to attenuate the inhibitory effects of ticagrelor on platelet function. 19
