Sustained Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Blockade With Oral Xemilofiban in 170 Patients After Coronary Stent Deployment

Abstract: Oral xemilofiban in doses of > or = 10 mg produced > or = 50% inhibition of platelet aggregation in response to ADP and collagen for 8 to 10 hours after dosing. Platelet inhibition was sustained through 2 weeks of chronic therapy. The optimal duration of oral GP IIb/IIIa blockade to effectively suppress recurrent ischemic events after coronary intervention remains to be determined.

“…Sustained inhibition of platelet aggregation with xemilofiban has been demonstrated in patients with unstable angina 32 and in patients after coronary stent deployment. 33 In summary, xemilofiban, a novel GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist, inhibits ex vivo platelet aggregation, prevents occlusive thrombus formation, and prevents CFVs in response to continuous electrical injury in a canine model of arterial thrombosis. In addition, coadministration of HD ASA provides an observed increase in the antithrombotic response and in the level of protection against CFVs by a dose of xemilofiban that when administered alone has limited efficacy in this model.…”

“…In this case, even a long-term medication with the antiplatelet agents ASA and ticlopidine was not able to reduce the increased platelet activation sufficiently. A potential therapeutic alternative for this group of patients could be the new generation of orally available synthetic antiplatelet agents, which bind to the platelet glycoprotein receptor IIb/IIIa by mimicking the RGD-sequence of the ligand fibrinogen [44][45][46]. This alternative concept of a long term antithrombotic therapy awaits evaluation in large clinical trials.…”
