A Pilot Study to Determine the Impact of Clopidogrel (Plavix®) on Bleeding Associated With Punch Biopsies in Healthy Volunteers

November 23, 2016 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S
This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to determine the feasibility of demonstrating a quantifiable change from baseline in punch biopsy-induced bleeding durations and blood loss volumes in healthy subjects after receiving clopidogrel anti-platelet therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: placebo
Following a baseline punch biopsy, all subjects will then receive oral placebo over a period of approximately 3 to 4 days. Once the subject has successfully had 3 days of clopidogrel dosing, a second biopsy will be performed
Experimental: clopidogrel
Drug: clopidogrel
Following a baseline punch biopsy, all subjects will then receive oral clopidogrel (Plavix®) over a period of approximately 3 to 4 days. Once the subject has successfully had 3 days of clopidogrel dosing, a second biopsy (B1) will be performed
