Effect of low-dose aspirin on urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 in the ASCEND (A Study of Cardiovascular Events iN Diabetes) randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aspirin is widely used for cardioprotection with its antiplatelet effects due to the blocking of thromboxane A2 production. However, it has been suggested that platelet abnormalities in those with diabetes prevent adequate suppression with once daily aspirin.

Methods

In the ASCEND randomized double-blind trial of aspirin 100 mg once daily versus placebo in participants with diabetes but no history of cardiovascular disease, suppression was assessed by measuring 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 excretion in urine (U-TXM) in a randomly selected sample of 152 participants (76 aspirin arm, 74 placebo arm), plus 198 (93 aspirin arm, 105 placebo arm) adherent to study drugs and selected to maximize the numbers ingesting their last tablet 12-24 h before urine sampling. U-TXM was assayed using a competitive ELISA assay in samples mailed a mean of 2 years after randomization, with time since taking last aspirin/placebo tablet recorded at the time of sample provision. Effective suppression (U-TXM < 1500 pg/mg creatinine) and percentage reductions in U-TXM by aspirin allocation were compared.

Results

In the random sample, U-TXM was 71% (95% CI 64-76%) lower among aspirin vs placebo-allocated participants. Among adherent participants in the aspirin arm, U-TXM was 72% (95% CI 69-75%) lower than in the placebo arm and 77% achieved effective suppression overall. Suppression was similar among those who ingested their last tablet more than 12 h before urine sampling with levels in the aspirin arm 72% (95% CI 67-77%) lower than in the placebo arm and 70% achieving effective suppression.

Conclusions

Daily aspirin significantly reduces U-TXM in participants with diabetes, including at 12-24 h after ingestion.

Project description:Urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane (TX)B2 has been described as a potential predictive biomarker of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in high cardiac risk patients. This part of LTIMI (Leukotrienes and Thromboxane In Myocardial Infarction) study aimed to evaluate the relationship between 11-dehydro-TXB2 and MACEs in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). LTIMI was an observational, prospective study in 180 consecutive patients with AMI type 1 referred for primary percutaneous coronary intervention. On admission and at follow-up visits (1 month, 1 year), 11-dehydro-TXB2 was measured in urinary samples by using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The primary outcome was occurrence of composite MACEs during 1-year after AMI. Left ventricular ejection fraction was assessed in echocardiography on admission and at 1-year follow-up. Analyses of 11-dehydro-TXB2 (pg/mg creatinine) were performed on log-transformed data and expressed as median with IQR (Q1-Q3). 11-Dehydro-TXB2 level on admission was 7.39 (6.85-8.01) and decreased at 1 month (6.73, 6.27-7.12; P<0.001) and 1-year follow-up (6.37, 5.91-6.94; P<0.001). In univariate analysis, baseline 11-dehydro-TXB2 was higher in patients with MACEs (n=60; 7.73, 7.07-8.60) compared with those without MACEs (n=119; 7.28, 6.68-7.79; P=0.002). In multivariate regression model, 11-dehydro-TXB2 and 3 other variables (diabetes, multivessel disease, and left ventricular ejection fraction) were found to be best 1-year cumulative MACE predictors with odds ratio for 11-dehydro-TXB2 of 1.58 (95% CI 1.095-2.33; P=0.017) and area under the curve (in receiver operating characteristic analysis of 0.8). Baseline 11-dehydro-TXB2 negatively correlated with both left ventricular ejection fraction on admission (R=-0.21; P=0.006) and after 1 year (R=-0.346; P<0.001). 11-Dehydro-TXB2 predicts 1-year cumulative MACEs in AMI patients and provides prognostic information on the left ventricular performance.
