The Bridging Antiplatelet Therapy With Cangrelor 2 Study

The Bridging Antiplatelet Therapy With Cangrelor 2 (BRIDGE 2) Study: A Pilot Prospective Cohort, Pharmacodynamic Study of Tailored Cangrelor Bridging Dosing Regimens

Sponsor

University of Florida

Enrollment

50 participants

Start Date

Feb 18, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine rates of patients with optimal platelet reactivity range, defined as PRU levels between 85 and 208, when using a (PFT)-guided titration of cangrelor infusion rate (cangrelor titration) compared to 0.75 mcg/kg/min (standard-dose infusion) for bridging.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Patients with PRU levels ≤208 will undergo cangrelor dose reduction to 0.50 mcg/kg/min, while patients with PRU levels \>208 will undergo dose increase to 1.0 mcg/kg/min. At 2 to 12 hours after dose titration, blood samples will be collected for further PD assessment of platelet reactivity. Patients with PRU values \>208 will undergo dose increase by 0.25 mc/kg/min up to a maximum of 1.5 mcg/kg/min until a PRU below 208 is achieved, while patients with PRU levels \<85 will undergo dose reduction to 0.25 mcg/kg/min, being the lowest possible administration rate allowed during the study period. Titration will be performed at 3 time points: baseline (while on 0.75 mcg/kg/min before dose titration); between 2 and 12 hours following dose titration; daily (at the same time for the second dose) for up to a maximum of 3 samples after dose titration.
