A Study of Aspirin and Clopidogrel in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

NCT00105209

RandomizedCrossoverDouble-blindTreatment

Summary

Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is characterized by in situ thrombosis and increased thromboxane A2 (Tx-M) synthesis. While both may be attributable to abnormal platelet function, there are no studies of anti-platelet therapy in IPAH. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of aspirin (ASA) and clopidogrel on platelet function and eicosanoid metabolism in patients with IPAH.
