Frequently asked questions about Ticagrelor

What is Ticagrelor used for?

Ticagrelor is a small molecule cardiovascular drug being developed by AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) for conditions including acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, chronic kidney failure, type 2 diabetes, and healthy participants. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is being studied in trials for acute coronary syndrome.

What does Ticagrelor target?

Ticagrelor is a small molecule that targets the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, inhibiting platelet aggregation. It is being studied in cardiovascular conditions such as acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction. The drug is administered orally and is being evaluated in Phase 3 trials.

Who makes Ticagrelor?

Ticagrelor is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker AZN. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development for cardiovascular indications, including acute coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction.

What phase is Ticagrelor in?

Ticagrelor is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The drug is being studied in completed Phase 3 trials for acute coronary syndrome, with a total of three completed trials involving over 24,000 participants.

What clinical trials is Ticagrelor in?

Ticagrelor has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT00391872, a Phase 3 trial comparing ticagrelor to clopidogrel in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and NCT01294462, a Phase 3 trial in Asian/Japanese patients with acute coronary syndromes. Both trials are completed.

Is Ticagrelor the same as AZD6140?

Yes, Ticagrelor is also known as AZD6140. In clinical trials, it has been referred to by this alternative name, such as in the study titled 'A Comparison of Ticagrelor (AZD6140) and Clopidogrel in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome'.
