In three early- phase trials,(1,2,3) an investigational platelet inhibitor, prasugrel (CS-747, LY640315), demonstrated significantly higher and more consistent inhibition of platelet aggregation (IPA) compared to both placebo and the current standard of care, clopidogrel (Plavix(R)).
While each study was distinct in design and outcome, all three showed that prasugrel prevented platelets from aggregating better than clopidogrel. The data showed that response to prasugrel was consistent in terms of less variability in response rates and IPA achieved.
Data from these studies were presented this week at the American College of Cardiology annual scientific ...
