Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic of Switching From Cangrelor to Prasugrel in ACS Patients Undergoing PCI

Summary

Cangrelor is an intravenous P2Y12 inhibitor utilized as a bridge to achieve adequate platelet inhibition until oral P2Y12 inhibitors achieve their full antiplatelet effects in patients undergoing coronary stenting. Although in this setting the potent oral P2Y12 inhibitor prasugrel is commonly utilized, there is very limited data on the optimal approach for switching between these therapies. The overarching aim of this investigation is to rule out a drug drug interaction (DDI) when cangrelor and prasugrel are concomitantly administered in patients undergoing coronary stenting.
