Background: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have the potential to protect against atherothrombotic event occurrences. There are no data to evaluate the impact of cilostazol on EPC levels in high-risk patients. Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the effect of adjunctive cilostazol on EPC mobilization and platelet reactivity in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Before discharge, patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomly assigned to receive cilostazol SR capsule (200-mg) a day (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30) on top of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel and aspirin. Before randomization (baseline) and at 30-day follow-up, circulating EPC levels were analyzed using flow cytometry and hemostatic measurements were evaluated by VerifyNow and thromboelastography assays. The primary endpoint was the relative change in EPC levels between baseline and 30-day. Results: At baseline, there were similar levels of EPC counts between treatments, whereas patients with cilostazol showed higher levels of EPC counts compared with placebo after 30 days. Cilostazol versus placebo treatment displayed significantly higher changes in EPC levels between baseline and follow-up (ΔCD133+/KDR+: difference 216%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 44~388%, p = 0.015; ΔCD34+/KDR+: difference 183%, 95% CI 25~342%, p = 0.024). At 30-day follow-up, platelet reactivity was lower in the cilostazol group compared with the placebo group (130 ± 45 versus 169 ± 62 P2Y12 Reaction Unit, p = 0.009). However, there were no significant correlations between the changes of EPC levels and platelet reactivity. Conclusion: Adjunctive cilostazol on top of clopidogrel and aspirin versus DAPT alone is associated with increased EPC mobilization and decreased platelet reactivity in AMI patients, suggesting its pleiotropic effects against atherothrombotic events (NCT04407312).

Introduction: The relationship of low “on-treatment” platelet reactivity to longitudinal risks of major bleeding following acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has not been clearly delineated. Methods: We analyzed 2428 patients with non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTE ACS) from the TRILOGY ACS trial who were managed without revascularization and had platelet reactivity measurements (P2Y12 reaction units [PRUs]) collected in a platelet function substudy. Patients received aspirin + prasugrel (10 mg/d; 5 mg/d for those ≥75 y or <75 y and <60 kg) or clopidogrel (75 mg/d). Non-CABG severe/moderate GUSTO bleeding and non-CABG TIMI major/minor bleeding were ascertained through 30 months. Contal’s method was used to investigate whether a PRU cut point could distinguish high vs low bleeding risk. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the association between PRU and time to first bleed. Results: Through 30 months, there were 27 GUSTO severe/moderate bleeds and 37 TIMI major/minor bleeds, with gastrointestinal bleeding the most common. Baseline characteristics were stratified by tertiles of PRU values at 5 d, and significant differences were seen across tertiles (Table). Unadjusted bleeding rates appeared highest among those in the lowest PRU tertile but no reliable PRU cut point was found that significantly distinguished bleeding risk. Unadjusted analyses showed continuous measures of PRUs were not associated with GUSTO (HR=1.00, 95% CI: 0.96-1.04) or TIMI bleeding (HR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.99-1.06). This relationship did not change after multivariable adjustment. Conclusions: Among NSTE-ACS patients managed without revascularization and receiving dual antiplatelet therapy, PRU values were not significantly associated with long-term bleeding risk. The relatively small number of bleeding events accrued limited study power, but these results suggest that low “on-treatment” platelet reactivity does not independently predict post-ACS bleeding risk.

Abstract Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and P2Y12 inhibitor is administered following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with coronary stent implantation. Several studies have reported the effects of switching between P2Y12 inhibitors on platelet reactivity (P2Y12 reaction units: PRU), from acute to late phase after PCI. However, the effect of switching at very late phase is unknown. This study examined the effect on PRU in Japanese coronary heart disease patients with long-term DAPT (aspirin + clopidogrel) when switching from clopidogrel to prasugrel. Ninety-six patients were enrolled in this study. The median DAPT duration at enrollment was 1824.0 days. Twenty-three patients with PRU ≥ 208 at enrollment were randomly assigned into either continuing to receive clopidogrel (Continued Group; n = 11) or switching to prasugrel (Switched Group; n = 12). The primary endpoint was the rate of patients who achieved PRU < 208 at the end of 12 weeks of treatment, which was significantly higher in Switched Group relative to Continued Group (90.0% vs. 36.4%; P = 0.024). The secondary endpoint was the PRU at week 12 in groups subdivided according to cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 genotypes. At week 12, extensive metabolizers (EM Group) had 202.3 ± 60.0 and 174.5 ± 22.3 in Continued Group and Switched Group (P = 0.591), respectively; intermediate and poor metabolizers (non-EM Group) had 229.4 ± 36.9 and 148.4 ± 48.4 in Continued Group and Switched Group (P = 0.002), respectively. The PRU for non-EM Group was significantly reduced in Switched Group. Thus, for patients with long-term DAPT (aspirin + clopidogrel) after PCI with coronary stent implantation, switching from clopidogrel to prasugrel resulted in a stable reduction in PRU, regardless of CYP2C19 polymorphism.
