Thromboxane Receptor Antagonist to Improve Endothelial Cell Function — TRAP  

Cardiovascular Diseases Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Thromboxane Receptor Antagonist to Blunt the Effects of Non-Platelet Thromboxane Generation and Improve Endothelial Cell Function (TRAP) Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates whether addition of the thromboxane receptor antagonist to chronic aspirin therapy improves endothelial function and reduces non-platelet thromboxane generation in patients with established cardiovascular disease. Half of participants will receive ifetroban and the other half will receive matchcing placebo for the 4 week study period.

Clinical Trial Description

Thromboxane is a prostaglandin produced in healthy individuals mainly in platelets, where it mediates platelet activation and vasoconstriction via binding to cellular thromboxane-prostanoid (TP) receptors. The cardioprotective effect of aspirin is due to suppression of platelet thromboxane generation and reactivity. Unfortunately 25-50% of patients with cardiovascular disease taking ASA continue to generate thromboxane from non-platelet sources, which significantly increases their risk of atherothrombosis and death. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress is a potent stimulus for thromboxane generation in endothelial cells that involves autocrine/paracrine signaling through the TP receptor. This clinical trial addresses the central hypothesis that vascular endothelial cells under oxidative stress are a major source of non-platelet thromboxane generation in patients with cardiovascular disease and that antagonism of the TP receptor will suppress its formation and improve endothelial function. ;
