  • Have been given standard-of-care clopidogrel 600-mg loading dose between 24 hours before and at the time of PCI.
  • Standard of Care Aspirin use prior to PCI - at least 250-mg [intravenous (IV) or oral] within 24 hours before PCI and at the time of PCI.
  • VerifyNow P2Y12 reaction units > 208 measured 2-7 hours after clopidogrel maintenance dose the day after successful PCI.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction within 14 days prior to randomization
  • Have known major complications after percutaneous coronary intervention and prior to randomization
  • Have a body weight \< 60 kilogram (kg)
  • Have cardiogenic shock at time of randomization
  • Have refractory ventricular arrhythmias
  • Have New York Heart Association Class IV congestive heart failure
  • Have received glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors eptifibatide or tirofiban within 24 hrs before or during percutaneous coronary intervention or abciximab within 10 days before or during percutaneous coronary intervention
  • Are receiving daily treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) inhibitors that cannot be discontinued or are anticipated to require > 2 weeks of daily treatment during the study

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of Cardiovascular Death or Myocardial Infarction (MI)

    The endpoint in this measure is a combination of cardiovascular death or MI.

    Time frame: Baseline through 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Stent Thrombosis (ST)

    Academic Research Consortium (ARC) criteria was used to define ST. Definite ST is angiographic or pathologic confirmation of partial or total thrombotic occlusion within the peri-stent region, and at least one of the following additional criteria: acute ischemic symptoms; ischemic electrocardiogram changes; elevated cardiac biomarkers. Probable ST is any unexplained death within 30 days of stent implantation; any MI, which is related to documented acute ischemia in the territory of the implanted stent without angiographic confirmation of ST and in the absence of any other obvious cause.

    Time frame: Baseline through 6 months

  2. Number of Participants With Composite Endpoint of All-Cause Death or Myocardial Infarction (MI)

    The endpoint in this measure is a combination of all-cause death or MI.

    Time frame: Baseline through 6 months
