Overview

An antiplatelet drug is a member of a class of pharmaceuticals that decreases platelet aggregation and inhibits thrombus formation. They are effective in the arterial circulation, where anticoagulants have little effect.

They are widely used in primary and secondary prevention of thrombotic cerebrovascular or cardiovascular disease.

The Most Important Antiplatelet Drugs

Comparison of oral antiplatelet agents
Drug Group Drug Cost (UpToDate 08/2022)
Second generation
P2Y12 (Adenosine diphosphate receptors) inhibitors (thienopyridines)
Clopidogrel
Ticlopidine
$40 (generic)
$112
Third generation
P2Y12 (Adenosine diphosphate receptors) inhibitors (non-thienopyridines)
Prasugrel
Ticagrelor
$495 ($331 GoodRx)
$511

Are third-generation agents better than second-generation agents?

Studies of all patients

The ALPHEUS randomized controlled trial found no benefit of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel among stable coronary patients undergoing high-risk elective PCI (primary outcome in 35% vs 36% of patients)[1].

The POPular AGE randomized controlled trial found no benefit of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel among patients aged 70 years or older with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (MACE in 11% vs 12% of patients)[2]

The CHAMPION PCI randomized controlled trial found no benefit of cangrelor versus clopidogrel among patients "before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndromes" (MACE in 7.5% vs 7.1% of patients)[3].

The CHAMPION PLATFORM randomized controlled trial found no benefit of cangrelor added to clopidogrel among patients with acute coronary syndrome before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (MACE in 7% vs 8% of patients) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Studies of patients with CYP2C19 loss-of-function

The CHANCE-2 randomized controlled trial found benefit of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel (primary outcome: 6% vs 7.6%; hazard ratio, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.64 to 0.94; P = 0.008) among Chinese patients with minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) who carried CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles[4].

Is there a best third-generation antiplatelet drug?

The ISAR-REACT 5 randomized controlled trial found benefit of prasugrel versus ticagrelor (primary outcome: 6.9% vs 9.3%; hazard ratio, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.09 to 1.70; P = 0.006) among patients with "acute coronary syndromes and for whom invasive evaluation was planned"[4].


The POPular Genetics randomized controlled trial found faster onset of action but no benefit of cangrelor versus ticagrelor among patients with "ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) population treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI"[5].

Should drug selection be driven by genetic testing and platelet function testing?

Guided therapy (drug choice based on genetic testing and platelet function testing may improve outcomes according to a systematic reveiw[6].

However, the key POPular Genetics randomized controlled trial found no benefit from a CYP2C19 guided therapy (primary outcome: 5.1 vs 5.9%;P = 0.44) among patients undergoing primary PCI with stent implantation[7].
