A sensitive, rapid, reproducible and reliable high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method has been developed and fully validated for the determination of ticagrelor in human plasma using ticagrelor-d7 as an internal standard (IS) after one-step liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Ticagrelor and IS were detected in the multiple reaction monitoring mode at m/z transition 523.4 > 127.0 and 530.4 > 127.0, respectively. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Phenomenex Luna® C18 column using a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water-acetonitrile (20:80, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The retention times of ticagrelor and IS were 1.03 min and 1.02 min, respectively. The calibration curve was linear [correlation coefficient (r) ≥ 0.9991] over the concentration range of 2-1,500 ng/mL. Intra- and inter-day precisions ranged from 1.0% to 4.9% and from 1.8% to 8.7%, and the accuracy ranged from 97.0% to 105.9% and from 97.5% to 102.9%, respectively. The developed method was fully validated with respect to selectivity, linearity, lower limit of quantitation, recovery, matrix effect and stability. This validated method was successfully applied to the bioequivalence study of ticagrelor in 44 healthy Korean male volunteers.

Background: The usual antithrombotic treatment for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) consists of dual treatment with clopidogrel and aspirin for 90 days followed by aspirin alone but the risk of recurrent stroke remains high up to 12 months. The Comparison of Anticoagulation and anti-Platelet Therapies for Intracranial Vascular Atherostenosis (CAPTIVA) trial was designed to determine whether other combinations of dual antithrombotic therapy are superior to clopidogrel and aspirin.

Methods: CAPTIVA is an ongoing, prospective, double-blinded, three-arm clinical trial at over 100 sites in the United States and Canada that will randomize 1683 high-risk subjects with a symptomatic infarct attributed to 70-99% stenosis of a major intracranial artery to 12 months of treatment with (1) ticagrelor (180 mg loading dose, then 90 mg twice daily), (2) low-dose rivaroxaban (2.

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), consisting of aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor, is the standard treatment for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). However, the optimal duration of DAPT remains debated due to the need to balance ischemic event reduction with bleeding risks. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor monotherapy after short-duration DAPT (1-3 months) compared to extended DAPT, focusing on major bleeding and cardiovascular outcomes.

Background: It is uncertain whether ticagrelor is more effective and safer than clopidogrel in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients in the East Asian population in the real world. This study compared the clinical outcomes of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 1124 patients diagnosed with STEMI in Nanjing First Hospital from July 2011 to April 2019.

Background: This study aimed to compare the incidence of bleeding using two periodontal treatment protocols in patients with recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS).

Material And Methods: This is an interim analysis of a double-blind controlled clinical trial evaluating two periodontal treatment schemes in patients with recent ACS treated with different dual antiplatelet regimens: Clopidogrel+ASA, Prasugrel+ASA and Ticagrelor+ASA. After randomisation six patients (22 quadrants) were treated with Scheme A (scaling and root planning-SRP) and six patients (21 quadrants) with Scheme B (ultrasonic scaling-US).

Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated promising effects in lowering cardiovascular incidents among patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, their influence on early platelet reactivity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains unclear.

Objectives: This research sought to investigate the effects of entirely human anti-PCSK9 antibodies on platelet function as measured by thrombelastography and 12-month postoperative results in patients receiving PPCI and treated with ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy.
