Effect of Prasugrel on Platelets After One Week in Patients Already Taking Clopidogrel After a Cardiac Event (SWAP)

October 20, 2010 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Pharmacodynamic Comparison of Prasugrel (LY640315) Versus Clopidogrel in Subjects With Acute Coronary Syndrome Who Are Receiving Clopidogrel

This study will compare the effect of a prasugrel 10-mg maintenance dose with a clopidogrel 75-mg maintenance dose on platelet activity, approximately 1 week after the first dose of study drug, in subjects who have been taking clopidogrel 75 mg daily following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with placement of a stent, performed to treat acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
