Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) on Pharmacodynamic Profiles of the P2Y12 Receptor Inhibitor Clopidogrel in the Setting of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk
of atherothrombotic events. Clopidogrel is the most widely used platelet P2Y12 receptor
inhibitor in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, despite its benefits, many
patients still experience recurrent atherothrombotic events. The proposed study will test the
central hypothesis that in DM patients the presence of CKD reduces clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12
inhibitory effects through synergistic mechanisms, which include upregulation of the P2Y12
signaling pathway and impaired clopidogrel metabolism.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and coexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at
increased risk of atherothrombotic events, underscoring the importance of secondary
prevention antiplatelet therapy in these high-risk patients. Clopidogrel is the most widely
used platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
However, despite its clinical benefits, many patients still experience recurrent
atherothrombotic events. This is in part due to the impaired effects of clopidogrel in DM
patients, particularly among those with coexisting CKD. However, underlying mechanism(s)
leading to magnification of impaired clopidogrel response among DM patients with CKD remain
unexplored. The ever growing prevalence of CKD in patients with DM and their high risk of
recurrent events underscores the need to define such mechanism(s) as this may set the basis
for identifying treatment regimens leading to more effective platelet inhibition and
cardiovascular protection in these high-risk patients. The proposed study will test the
central hypothesis that in DM patients the presence of CKD reduces clopidogrel-mediated P2Y12
inhibitory effects through synergistic mechanisms, which include upregulation of the P2Y12
signaling pathway and impaired clopidogrel metabolism. Comprehensive pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamic assessments, including ex vivo and in vitro experiments, evaluating the
impact of CKD on antiplatelet drug response in DM patients are proposed.
