Early assessment of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects following acetylsalicylic acid loading: toward a definition for acute therapeutic response.

ABSTRACT: Despite decades of investigations, the optimal assessment of the "therapeutic response" to early after loading dose of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) remains unclear. Limited information is available on the relation between pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) measurements assessed immediately after ASA administration. Serial PD and PK analyses were performed immediately after a single 162 or 650 mg dose of chewed and swallowed ASA in ten healthy adults. ASA response was defined as > 95% inhibition of serum thromboxane (Tx)B_2, < 550 aspirin reaction units (ARU) by VerifyNow Aspirin (VN) test, and ≤ 20% arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation (PA). Correlation analyses between PK and PD measurements and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were p
