NCT05116995
Brief Summary:
The investigators will be comparing the effects of two different drug treatment strategies, in patients with history of a heart attack, on different markers of bleeding and clotting risk. Both treatment strategies are already approved for the indication of improving outcomes in high-risk patients with history of heart attack.
Detailed Description:
The investigators will enroll patients with coronary disease \>1 year after an acute coronary syndrome. Subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment plans. One plan the participant will take ticagrelor for one week, then take two weeks off with no drug (washout period), then one week of rivaroxaban. The other plan will be reverse order where the participant will take rivaroxaban for one week, then two weeks off(washout period), then one week of ticagrelor. Study drugs will be provided to participants at the start of each treatment period. Bleeding time will be determined and blood samples will be taken at four timepoints (baseline, post first drug, pre second drug, and post second drug) to measure complete blood count, CRP, and fibrin clot assessment. These are surrogate markers for safety (bleeding) and efficacy (increased thrombotic risk)
