Summary
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate when genetic variation in the carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) gene influences antiplatelet therapy response, as assessed by ex vivo platelet aggregometry, in healthy participants treated with clopidogrel and ticagrelor. We hypothesize that genetic variation in CES1 will significantly impact on-clopidogrel platelet aggregation while having a minimal effect in ticagrelor-treated subjects. Specific Aim: To conduct a prospective randomized crossover study of clopidogrel and ticagrelor in healthy individuals stratified by CES1 genotype. Participants will be recruited by CES1 genotype into a randomized crossover study of clopidogrel (75 mg daily for 7d) and ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily for 7d) with extensive phenotyping including ex vivo platelet aggregometry performed pre- and post-drug administration in order to assess the interaction of genotype and drug choice on on-treatment platelet function.
