Figure 2 Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation After Initial Doses of Clopidogrel and AZD6140

Mean percentage inhibition of platelet aggregation derived from (A) maximum aggregation response and (B) final aggregation response at 6 min after addition of adenosine diphosphate 20 µmol/l, for clopidogrel-naïve patients before and after clopidogrel 300 mg (n = 14), AZD6140 90 mg (n = 9), AZD6140 180 mg (n = 7), or AZD6140 270 mg (n = 15). Error bars show standard deviation and points are nudged on the X axis only to reveal error bars. *p < 0.05 for AZD6140 versus clopidogrel.

Figure 3 Individual Responses to Clopidogrel and AZD6140

Individual area-under-the-curve data for inhibition of platelet aggregation derived from final aggregation response at 6 min after addition of ADP 20 µmol/l, for clopidogrel-naïve patients (A) after the first dose of either clopidogrel 300 mg, AZD6140 90 mg, AZD6140 180 mg, or AZD6140 270 mg and (B) after 4 weeks of treatment and after next dose of either clopidogrel 75 mg, AZD6140 90 mg, or AZD6140 180 mg. Data are for the first 8 h of treatment but are representative of the smaller numbers for whom data were available for the full 12 h. The lines indicate mean values. *p < 0.05 for AZD6140 versus clopidogrel. ADP = adenosine diphosphate; IPA = inhibition of platelet aggregation; other abbreviations as in Figure 1.

Figure 4 Steady-State and 24 h Postdose Inhibition of Platelet Aggregation by Clopidogrel and AZD6140

Mean percentage inhibition of platelet aggregation both after 4 weeks of study medication (clopidogrel-naïve patients) and 24 h after discontinuation of study medication derived from (A) maximum aggregation response and (B) final aggregation response at 6 min after addition of adenosine diphosphate 20 µmol/l, before and after the next dose of either clopidogrel 75 mg (n = 10), AZD6140 90 mg (n = 15), or AZD6140 180 mg (n = 10). Error bars show standard deviation and points are nudged on the X axis only to reveal error bars. *p < 0.05 for AZD6140 versus clopidogrel; {dagger}p < 0.05 for clopidogrel predose versus 2 h postdose.

Figure 5 Suppression of Platelet Aggregation by AZD6140 in Clopidogrel-Pretreated Patients

Mean percentage platelet aggregation derived from final aggregation response at 6 min after addition of adenosine diphosphate 20 µmol/l, for clopidogrel-pretreated patients before and after either clopidogrel 75 mg (n = 12) or the first dose of AZD6140 90 mg (n = 9), AZD6140 180 mg (n = 7), or AZD6140 270 mg (n = 16). Error bars show standard deviation and points are nudged on the X axis only to reveal error bars. *p < 0.05 for AZD6140 versus clopidogrel.
