Ticagrelor 60 vs. 90 mg in elderly ACS patients undergoing PCI: a randomized, crossover trial

Although dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is currently recommended in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), its use in elderly patients remains challenging. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile of tica...

description Although dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is currently recommended in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), its use in elderly patients remains challenging. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profile of ticagrelor 60 vs. 90 mg twice daily among elderly patients (≥75 years) with ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PLINY The ELDER (NCT04739384) was a randomized, crossover trial testing the non-inferiority of a lower vs. standard dose of ticagrelor with respect to the primary endpoint of P2Y12 inhibition as determined by pre-dose P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) using the VerifyNow-P2Y12 (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA, USA). Other pharmacodynamic tests included light transmittance aggregometry, multiple electrode aggregometry, and response to aspirin. Plasma levels of ticagrelor and its active metabolite AR-C124910XX were also evaluated. A total of 50 patients (mean age 79.6 ± 4.0 years, females 44%) were included in the trial. Ticagrelor 60 mg was non-inferior to ticagrelor 90 mg according to VerifyNow-P2Y12 results (PRU 26.4 ± 32.1 vs. 30.4 ± 39.0; least squares mean difference: -4; 95% confidence interval: -16.27 to 8.06; P for non-inferiority = 0.002). Other pharmacodynamic parameters were similar between the two ticagrelor doses and there were no differences in response to aspirin. Plasma levels of ticagrelor (398.29 ± 312.36 ng/mL vs. 579.57 ± 351.73 ng/mL, P = 0.006) and its active metabolite were significantly lower during treatment with ticagrelor 60 mg. Although plasma concentrations were lower, ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily provided a similar magnitude of platelet inhibition compared with ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily among elderly patients undergoing PCI.
