Status: Active, not recruiting

Sponsored by: Vanderbilt University

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):

Clinical Details

Official title: Ticagrelor and Adenosine Uptake. Phase II Study Comparing the Effects of Ticagrelor vs Dipyridamole on Adenosine Uptake

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Pharmacodynamics Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject)

Primary outcome: Interstitial levels of adenosine

Detailed description: The investigators will compare adenosine interstitial levels using a parallel design study with three groups of subjects. Forearm interstitial adenosine levels will be measured at baseline and after intrabrachial infusion of adenosine at two doses. Subjects will then randomly receive Ticagrelor 180 mg, Dipyridamole 200 mg, or placebo. Two hours later the investigators will repeat the dialysate collections at baseline and after adenosine infusions.
