Evaluation of Antiplatelet Effects of Different Dosages of Aspirin in Type 2 Diabetic Patients (DM-ASA 001)

May 24, 2022 updated by: Paul Hjemdahl, Karolinska Institutet
The efficacy of low dose aspirin appears to be substantially lower in diabetic patients, compared to patients without diabetes. The aim of the investigators study is to test the laboratory response to different dosing of aspirin in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The investigators will compare the regular dose of 75mg once daily to 75 mg twice daily or to 320 mg once daily. The hypothesis of the study is that twice daily dosing of aspirin may improve the response to aspirin.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
An exploratory study with three co-primary response variables which are directly related to platelet COX-1 inhibition: arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation in whole blood and PRP and in the Cone-and-Plate(let) Assay (CPA)
Time Frame: 12 or 24 hours after last dose of Aspirin
12 or 24 hours after last dose of Aspirin

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Indirectly COX-related platelet aggregation induced by collagen or ADP, and thromboxane metabolite excretion.
Time Frame: 12 or 24 hours after last dose of aspirin
12 or 24 hours after last dose of aspirin
