CS can affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications. The unique properties of cangrelor make it the optimal P2Y12 inhibitor for CS-AMI, in terms of both efficacy and safety. The DAPT-SHOCK-AMI trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03551964; EudraCT: 2018-002161-19) will assess the benefits of cangrelor in patients with an initial CS-AMI undergoing primary angioplasty. This randomised, multicentre, placebo-controlled trial of approximately 550 patients (with an allowed 10% increase) in 5 countries using a double-blind design will compare initial P2Y12 inhibitor treatment strategies in patients with CS-AMI of (A) intravenous cangrelor and (B) ticagrelor administered as crushed tablets at a loading dose of 180 mg. The primary clinical endpoint is a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke within 30 days.

A platelet reactivity study that tests the laboratory antiplatelet benefits of cangrelor, when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy, will be conducted using vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphorylation.
