The platelet inhibition and patient outcomes (PLATO) trial showed that in patients with acute coronary syndromes, ticagrelor significantly reduced the primary endpoint (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke), all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality compared to clopidogrel. It has been suggested that in addition to its anti-platelet effects, ticagrelor has additional unique effects, including anti-inflammatory effects that are not shared by clopidogrel. In the present study the investigators will assess whether ticagrelor, as compared to clopidogrel, increases serum levels of 15-epi-lipoxin A4, a potent endogenous anti-inflammatory mediator.', 'detailedDescription': 'Clopidogrel, ticagrelor and prasugrel are routinely used for platelet inhibition in addition to aspirin in patients after acute coronary syndromes. The platelet inhibition and patient outcomes (PLATO) trial showed that in patients with acute coronary syndromes, ticagrelor significantly reduced the primary endpoint (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction or stroke), all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality compared to clopidogrel. On the other hand, when compared with clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes with scheduled percutaneous coronary intervention, prasugrel therapy did not affect overall mortality despite the fact that it was associated with significantly reduced rates of ischemic events, including stent thrombosis, but with an increased risk of major bleeding, including fatal bleeding. This may suggest that ticagrelor possesses additional (pleiotropic) effects besides platelet inhibition.\n\nThe investigators have recently shown that pioglitazone increases 15-epi-lipoxin A4 blood levels in patients. The investigators have recently found that in the rat, ticagrelor increases tissue levels of 15-epi-lipoxin A4 in the heart, aorta and kidney.\n\nIt is plausible that some of the favorable effects of ticagrelor seen in the clinical studies are mediated via the anti-inflammatory effects of 15-epi-lipoxin A4.\n\n15-epi-lipoxin A4 is a potent anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving mediator derived from arachidonic acid. Several studies have suggested that ticagrelor has anti-inflammatory properties in various animal models. In the present study the investigators will assess if ticagrelor increases blood 15-epi-lipoxin A4 levels at doses used in patients.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '70 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nProvision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures\n\nWomen of childbearing potential must be using an acceptable method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study\n\nPatients with stable coronary artery disease (3-12 months after Acute Coronary Syndrome) who receive clopidogrel for at least 3 months.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nRecent stroke or acute coronary syndromes (\\<3 months before randomization).\n\nConcurrent use of aspirin \\>100 mg/day where the dose reduction to 81 mg/day is contraindicated.\n\nCurrent use of theophylline.\n\nConcurrent use of Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs.\n\nPatients receiving the following medications: ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, atazanavir, telithromycin, rifampin, dexamethasone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital.
