New Dosage NCT02435563 ↗ Dose Adaptation to Offset the Interaction Between Ticagrelor and Ritonavir by Population-based PK Modeling Completed University Hospital, Geneva Phase 2 2014-08-01 Ticagrelor is a new generation antiplatelet agent with higher efficacy as compared to clopidogrel and prasugrel in treatment of patients with moderate and high ischemic risks. Ticagrelor is active as such and its hepatic metabolism by CYP3A generates also an active metabolite. Because of the remarkable progress in HIV therapies the number of older age patients is on the rise, requiring adequate cardiovascular treatment. Since frontline HIV therapies include ritonavir, a strong inhibitor of CYP3A enzyme, ticagrelor is contraindicated in these patients because of the expected interaction and bleeding risk. A lower efficacy of clopidogrel and prasugrel, which are both pro-drugs, in the presence of ritonavir has been already demonstrated. Therefore, administration of a lower dose of ticagrelor may be a good alternative in HIV patients in order to lessen the impact of this pharmacokinetic interaction. The aim of this study is to adjust the dose of ticagrelor in case of co-treatment with ritonavir to achieve the same pharmacokinetic profile as administered alone using a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model. As the first step, a pharmacokinetic (PK) model for ticagrelor and its active metabolite will be created based on available in vitro and in vivo parameters in healthy volunteers. An open-label, 2 sessions cross over study will be conducted with 20 healthy male volunteers at Clinical Research Center (CRC) of Geneva University Hospitals (HUG). During the first session of the clinical trial, a single dose 180 mg ticagrelor will be administered to the volunteers and obtained pharmacokinetic data will be fitted into the model for optimization. Thereafter a simulated trial by the Simcyp® simulator in presence of a single dose 100 mg ritonavir will allow evaluating the impact of CYP3A inhibition on the concentration-time profile of ticagrelor and its active metabolite. The necessary dose of ticagrelor to minimize the magnitude of this interaction will be calculated. This new dose will be co-administered with ritonavir in the same volunteers during the second session of the clinical trial. The purpose is to obtain the same PK profile with single dose of 180 mg ticagrelor administered alone and with an adapted dose of ticagrelor co-administered with a single dose 100 mg ritonavir. Moreover, the pharmacodynamic effect of ticagrelor will be measured in both sessions of the clinical trial using two specific platelet function tests: the VAsodilator-Stimulated Phosphoprotein assay (VASP) and VerifyNow® P2Y12. With the same PK profile, the same pharmacodynamic activity is expected. The modulation of activity of CYP3A and P-gp by ritonavir will be also monitored using micro dose midazolam and fexofenadine as probe substrates. The purpose of this study is to use the Simcyp® Simulator mechanistic PBPK modeling to broaden the application field of ticagrelor, especially in HIV patients. Since PK models are often created after clinical observations, the prospective aspect of this study is of particular value as the model will be first created and then applied to an unknown clinical scenario.

Prasugrel: Clinical Trials, Market Analysis, and Projections

Introduction to Prasugrel

Prasugrel, a potent antiplatelet drug, is used to prevent blood clots in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It belongs to the class of ADP receptor antagonists, which have revolutionized the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Clinical Trials: Key Findings

HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS Trial

One of the significant clinical trials involving prasugrel is the HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS trial. This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of reduced-dose prasugrel (5 mg) versus regular-dose prasugrel (10 mg) in east Asian patients undergoing PCI for ACS.

  • Primary Endpoint: The trial showed that after 1 month of regular-dose dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), reduced-dose prasugrel (5 mg) was superior to regular-dose prasugrel (10 mg) in terms of net adverse events, which included death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, clinically driven revascularization, stroke, and BARC 2 or higher bleeding. The net adverse events rate was 7.2% for the 5 mg group versus 10.1% for the 10 mg group (hazard ratio 0.70, 95% CI 0.52-0.92, p = 0.012)[1].

  • Bleeding Events: Notably, the trial also demonstrated a significant reduction in BARC ≥2 bleeding events in the 5 mg prasugrel group compared to the 10 mg group (2.9% vs. 5.9%, p < 0.001)[1].

TRITON-TIMI 38 Study

The TRITON-TIMI 38 study is another pivotal trial that compared prasugrel with clopidogrel in patients with ACS undergoing PCI. This Phase III study involved up to 13,000 patients and focused on preventing heart attack, stroke, and death.

  • Platelet Inhibition: Early data from this study showed that prasugrel achieved more consistent and higher levels of platelet inhibition compared to clopidogrel. In one Phase I study, 100% of prasugrel-treated patients achieved greater than 25% inhibition of platelet aggregation, compared to 42.4% of clopidogrel-treated patients[3].

  • Clinical Outcomes: The TRITON-TIMI 38 study highlighted that prasugrel reduced the composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared to clopidogrel, although it also increased the risk of bleeding events[3].

Comparison with Ticagrelor

A recent analysis compared the efficacy and safety of prasugrel with ticagrelor in patients with ACS treated with PCI. This study found that prasugrel was associated with a lower incidence of the composite endpoint of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared to ticagrelor. The incidence of bleeding events was comparable between the two groups[4].
